    MalFet's bottle washer for lazy homebrewers

    Rob, Sorry for the very late reply, but I missed your message somehow. Unfortunately I don't have a parts list. Everything was purchased at the local hardware store. Most of it is PVC fittings, with some adapters to shrink down the pipe to plex-size. I do, however, have pictures which show...

    MalFet's bottle washer for lazy homebrewers

    Heh heh. Yes to both? I wonder what would happen if I ran the entire output of the pump into one nozzle. That might be interesting to try at some point. While I definitely don't have enough pressure with 20 nozzles to launch a bottle, perhaps something more pressure-washer like could...

    MalFet's bottle washer for lazy homebrewers

    Hm. I'm having trouble picturing this. Are you referring to an air vent of some sort? A second small line going from inside the bottle to outside air, allowing air to come in via the vent so that water can exit the bottle without the "glug glug" of air coming in? Or something else? I...

    MalFet's bottle washer for lazy homebrewers

    I read many of these posts before building my own bottle washer. I wanted something compact that didn't require dedicating a sink, and that I could leave running for a while if needed without worrying about water splashing out of the tub. I built something that completely fits inside a...

    low-height, attached blowoff hose rig for carboy

    Just a follow-up for anyone that happens upon this post. I now have almost a dozen of these blow-off rigs. I have never gotten infection in primary while using them, and it turns out that they're relatively easy to clean by just loosening the hose clamps, disassembling them and running a brush...

    Cheap kettle advice?

    I didn't want to pay a lot for a kettle either, but having used some cheaper 7 gallon aluminum turkey fryer pots, I decided I wanted to go with stainless. After some research, I decided on a Winco 40 quart stainless pot, model SST-40. The best place I found to get this was a cooking web...

    Fermenters Favorites All Grain

    I assume you're referring to this kit, for $200? : http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/fermenters-favorites-essential-all-grain-brewing-starter-kit-10-gallon.html It depends on whether you have more money, or more time. The kit itself is fine. IMHO you don't necessarily need a cooler for a...

    OK, so you DID post the address of the web site, it wasn't just an actual hyperlink. I'll give you half credit. I'll buy you a beer tonight as an apology for rushing to criticize you. = /

    kegerator shank drill bit size craziness

    I realize this is an old post, but thought I'd add to is slightly and let people make their own decisions. I was building my kegerator this past weekend and almost went with the 1" hole saw based on the fiirst few posts in this thread. Then I decided to measure my shank anyway to see what...

    Upright Freezer for Kegerator?

    I realize I'm posting to an old thread, but I did some extensive searching before starting work on my upright keezer conversion, and found little concrete information from anyone who had successfully done this. I used a Kenmore/Electrolux freezer model FFU17G9HW0. The service manual showed...

    low-height, attached blowoff hose rig for carboy

    I feel a little silly for posting something so simple, but neither my friends or I have seen it anywhere on this or other brewing forums, so I thought I'd throw it up here. Having experienced some air-lock fouling frustration, I wanted to switch to using a blow-off hose. However, I ferment...
