I am scaling down a bit and selling my plate chiller. It's a Duda Diesel B3-23A 30 plate with 1/2" Male NPT fittings. I'm selling it along with the fittings shown in the pictures: Wort Side: In: 1/2" male Camlock Out: 1/2" SS Tee with male Camlock and Thermometer Water Side: 1/2" Brass...

Any one using these 'kegmenters'? https://www.williamsbrewing.com/132-GALLON-KEGMENTER-Actual-Shipping-P4223.aspx I'm interested in finding a fermenter that can be used for 5 and 10 gal batches, has a smaller footprint than 2 buckets/carboys and can be used for pressure fermentation and closed...

I've noticed that as I get older, I'm not able to drink as I used to. It began to change, for me, after turning 40. That doesn't bother me. However, I'm about to turn 44, and I'm down to 2 beers as my daily limit. More than that and I'll wake up in the middle of the night with a fast heart beat...

Although I've been brewing for a long time and I've dialed everything down I cannot seem to get reliable preboil and postboil gravity readings. First, the obvious, yes, my hydrometer is calibrated and yes, my thermometers are calibrated and yes, I can take very accurate volume measurements. I...

It was time for some process upgrades in order to simplify my brew day. I decided to ditch my MT and go BIAB all in. First, I bought the basket for my 62qt Bayou Classic. MT is behind, looking lonely already. Then I got 3-piece valves to replace the 2-piece.. On the right are all the...

People using the original Camco elements report that the base of the element either rusts or turns black, like mine. Few report no issues. I'm curious, what causes it turn black and more importantly, is it safe if comes in contact with food (i.e., wort)? I'm referring to the boil kettle. For...

I built my e-kettle a few years back and it's been working great. I put the RTD sensor in the kettle which hasn't been a problem. I recently purchased the basket option for my kettle, it's a Bayou Classic 15.5 gal. The basket clears the element but it's hitting the temp probe. If I had just...

Title says it all.

I have two, brand new, 1/2" NPT X 3/8" SS compression fittings. Never used, I bought them but didn't need them and I can't return them because it's been more than 30 days since purchase. $18 for both + shipping (from 15258). PM if you are interested. Thank you.

As the title says, I got a pound of Green World Farms Hawaiian Hazelnut coffee beans from Oahu. It smells simply amazing and while I could just brew coffee with it, I thought, well, why not make beer instead. What tried and true recipes would you recommend? Preferably ones you have done yourself!

This is a Cream Ale recipe that I've tweaked over the years. It's our favorite beer, friends who've tried it love it. This is for an 11 gallon batch: 14 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) 2 lb Flaked Corn 1 lb Flaked Barley 1 lb Vienna Malt Mash at 152F for 60 min. 1.0 oz Sterling 45 min...

I've been brewing AG for a long time, mostly 10 gal batches. I've been curious to try BIAB so I ordered a bag from Mr. Wilser (great quality on your products!) and did my first BIAB Saturday evening. I did a 5 gal batch of EdWort's Robust Porter in my 15.5 gal eKettle. Here are my notes...

I routinely brew 10 gallon batches and I recently converted to electric brewing. I converted my 15.5 gallon Bayou Classic kettle to an eKettle. I love electric brewing. Now, I am curious about taking the leap to BIAB. My goal would be to ideally remove the need for my cooler MT but if I...

Between PJ's diagrams and Kal's detailed instructions, my build was straight forward so a big thank you to you both for your contributions. I have a 15.5 gal Bayou Classic kettle as my boil kettle and an Igloo cube cooler as my mash tun (I use a smaller 7.5 gal Bayou Classic kettle to hold...

I bought these inline screw fuse holders and these fuses and for the life of me, I can't get the fuse to fit inside the holder and screw the holder back together. Is there a trick that I am obviously missing or did I just get the wrong sizes (holder and fuses are 6 x 30 mm)? The fuses are...

I bought the Packard C230B (Contactor 2 Pole 30 Amps 120 Coil Voltage). It didn't come with any documentation and the website does not have any schematics. The contactor doesn't have any markings. Does it matter which side is the hot side and which is the load? Does it matter which side...

I bought the Liquid tight RTD sensor, 1.5 inch, 1/2 NPT Thread from Auber for my BK build. It didn't come with o-ring or locknut. This may be a simple question but what did you use to attach it? Would this work: 1/2 inch o-ring/locknut/washer From the tutorial on...

I am inching closer to going electric. This Friday, I am installing a 30A GFCI breaker and outlet in my garage. I bought the 5500W Element Kit from eBrewSupply (by the way, the owner is a great guy to work with!). And now I am deciding on my control panel. My needs are simple, I have 1 brew...

My house service panel is a GE PowerMark Silver 150 Amp Load Center with 32 spaces of which 1, 2, and 3 are open. I'd like to install a 30 amp 2 pole GFCI breaker to power my (future) electric brewery. From the panel specs, I should be able to install a GE THQL breaker on spaces 1 and 3. I...

Anyone has the StillDragon DIY Controller kit and wouldn't mind posting some pics? I'd like to hear your thoughts, good and bad. I'd also like to know more about the SSR in the kit. The website says SSR but wouldn't it be an SSVR in order to regulate the power with a potentiometer? And is...
