Hey guys, looking for advise on making a 2" hole in the side of my keggle for a 2" Triclover ferrule. I'm using this to mount my element via triclover. Do you suggest getting a 2" greenlee knock out punch, Ideal 2" hole cutter or other practicle suggestion? How did you do yours? Thanks Mark

So I was thinking about this while collecting stuff for my build. Does anyone see any use to have a HERMS setup AND a RIMS setup both functional in one build? Just a waste of money? Can you think of anything having both available would allow you to do that you cant do with one? Lets assume...

So I have the majority of my components and was laying them out. I origianlly was planning on going the RIMS. My original plan was to have two PID's one for HLT control, one for RIMS control and a PWM setup for the boil. I have been thinking about going HERMS instead of RIMS. My question...

So I just scored a 29"x29" sheet of perforated stainless 3/32-5/32 about 1/16 thick or thicker for $25. Got it off of old reliable craigslist! I am going to wait a bit to see what size im going to cut it into since I have some large pots that would take a 20" diameter false bottom or do two...

I just got a new Iphone, my first, and have been researching beer brewing apps. Any rummors about a BeerSmith app? Something that is compatible with the actual BeerSmith program? If not lets get them to work on one! mark

So im in the process of builing my control panel for an electric setup. Any reason why I could not wire the alarm outputs of two PID's and a Timer (all Aurber) to the same input of the alarm. Then just have a single on/off switch that controls if this power can get to the alarm itself...

Hey gays/gals, I'm just getting into kegging and am looking to by my first 5 gallon corney kegs. I'm mainling looking for ball locks but wouldn't mind going pin lock if they were priced right. I've been scouring craigslist but have not found any "good" deals for 5 gallon ball lock kegs...

So I am new to brewing, done a couple batches with friends and am gathering my build supplies for an all grain setup. I had intended to do a Brutis 20 style setup and already have two 25 gallon aluminum pots. Both these came with nice steamer baskets. I know, I know there huge for 5 and 10...

Anyone have a line on a 2" tri-clover fitting with a 1.5" npt female end? I've looked around but not having any luck even on ebay. I found one guy who has them for $26 but that seems high to me. Thanks for any leads you might have! Mark

Hi guys, I've searched and cant seem to find the latest information on what is the best deal for a plug in style temerature controllers? I have a 14sf freezer I want to use for bottle storage but don't want to hack it up in hopes of reselling it later when I upgrade. I've read there are...

Hey guys, I don't want to sound like an idiot but I can not find any reference for the life of me for those in line plastic hose clamps I have seen used to stop the flow of liquid like when swapping QD around. The ones in the picture at the bottom of...

I was looking around on the net and found this http://www.dickblick.com/1/1/29075-woven-20-5-ft-amaco-wireform-mesh.html wire mesh that looks promising for low cost materal to do a hop strainer or similar build. Anyone have any experience with it. If you scroll to the bottom they have...

Ok so I have been racking my brain trying to decide which way to go on this. I am going to be using a 5500w or 6000w element for my brew kettle and am trying to decide if I should buy a 100qt aluminum pot which I can get for $70 shipped and then use all weldless fittings or find a good priced...

Hi guys, sorry to keep coming with the questions but I wasn't having any luck searching. I'm still deciding on the parts to put my kettles together and got to thinking about 3/4" vs 1/2" fittings. Anyone use 3/4" fittings and wish they had gone 1/2"? Anyone using 1/2" and wish they spend...

I've tried searching for a while but havn't found a thread that covers what I've been looking for. For those who use aluminum pots what are your thoughts on welding in aluminum couplings vs soldering or brazing in ss couplings or fittings? Which do you think would be better and or...

Hello, I've been checking out the site for a while now and am getting ready to build a stand and start brewing on my own. I'm leaning towards an aluminum kettle due to cost difference. I've sourced a 100qt pot for a good price. I plan on starting with 5 gallon batches but would like the...
