Been working on the exhaust good a bit too, I just need to add a nice support for the pipe as it's just wire right now. Also going to add a nice flange where the pipe goes through the wall. For the hood im going to use a 20" stainless bowl.

Yeah that's awesome man I like it. I wanna do something very similar.

What's the sizes of all your vessels? If you don't mind sharing.

Thank you, I love it myself. My tanks are all 20gal units from Stout Tanks, the only thing I wish I got them to do would be to add the temp probe ports at the back instead of the front, other then that it works really well. I get 90% efficiency.

Damn you do half barrel in 20 gallon vessels? How much pre boil wort is that?


Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Usually around 18gal.

Dang lol. Do you come close to boiling over ever? Also how much wort is left in the kettle after draining? Not having a dip tube seems weird to me.

Sorry for all the questions but I was considering those exact tanks in those exact sizes. I wasn't incorrect in assuming those were stout vessels was I?

Yes i need to be careful of the boil over, my panel has a dial to control the element heat and i just work that a little until im out of the danger zone, full steam ahead after that. I also turn it down a bit during hop additions so it doesn't go over. Dont need a dip tube, it has a concave bottom and side outlet, after the whirlpool i let it sit for a bit and everything settles out to the bottom and takes up that space, not much wort is left.... Nothing you want in the fermenter anyway lol. Yes they are Stout Tanks. If you search barleycity (one word) on Facebook you will see my page where I have some short vids of my boils, along with other stuff.

Awesome! Thanks
