Sure- https://www.kegworks.com/urban-bar-spey-dram-whiskey-glasses-4-oz-set-of-6
I’m pretty sure I didn’t pay that much though. Maybe a different store with keg in the name. Nope this is right, I got them on sale.
Hey that's my setup too, almost. Same fermenter, same or similar spigot, and same hop basket. But can you tell me about your thermowell setup?
Sure, i bought it from AIH. I had to take apart the plastic stock spigot and use the threaded ring and the gasket. Its got the thermowell, and a grommet for a normal sized airlock.

Cool. Looks like the one NorCal Brewing makes. Same price too. What thermometer are you using with it? I'm currently using just one of these, but I'm not sure how accurate it is on the outside of a plastic Speidel.

Uncommon Buckets arrived yesterday
And now that I'm part of the 2019 crew, I asked to try the 2018 batch. Needed a frame of reference.

Bought a 1/4HP submersible pump to build a keg and carboy washer when I get home.
I went all out for a nice thermometer early on in the hobby. I got the Thermoworks waterproof handheld https://www.thermoworks.com/Therma-Waterproof along with its rubber boot w/kickstand and magnet.
The probe I'm planning on using in the thermowell is one I bought for mash temp.

It's a flexible wire probe used for testing commercial dishwashers, though if I buy another it would probably be a cheaper wire probe. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

I'm running Fast fermenters with the standard FF thermometer and thermowell. For the liquor tank, mash and boil kettles I'm using these thermometers. They're working really well.

I would be very interested in hearing how this works out for you. Been doing loads of research on Electric brewing options, but haven’t really considered this option.

We have that exact model at my work. It will start a gallon of water to boil in a rectangular pan in about 5 minutes. If the pot covered the whole coil, I bet it would go faster and I think that it’s plenty for a full size batch. Ours at work has lost its “calibration” for the temperature function. We use a thermocouple thermometer to monitor the actual temp while using it anyway.
There are a few people that are using them. The thread below convinced me to get one, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet.
See this thread for reference: Will this cheap 3500 watt induction burner work

Absolutely, I'll let you know. It'll probably be a week before I use it as I've got lots of work to do in my brewing room.

I need to build a brewpub before re-building the chest Keggorator. Grandkids/head level tap handles....not a good combo. Picnic taps have their advantage tho. RIP my baby....
Small order from William's Brewing, including Brewtan B, ss carbonation cap, some tubing, and 2 lbs. Sumatra Golden Gayo green coffee beans.
Got three tri clamp quick clean ball valves to replace some of my tri clamp valves that don't have the quick clean feature. I already had two of the quick clean valves on my March pumps and I liked them so much I ordered a few more. Very easy to break down to get to the insides and soak in PBW. Just undo the clamp and the whole valve comes apart. No more wrenches that I had to use to take the other style apart for cleaning. Great upgrade!

Been a great week! FotD drop from @jerbrew yesterday, a sweet side trade with @mullet6577 came today, picked up a garage fridge and 4 crates of grolsch bottles (a dozen of them were full of hb!), and amazon just dropped off another thermowell and fermwrap. I'm a happy dude [emoji16]

Yeah man. Both the cans are NEIPAS from sloop and the bottle is my denali, mosaic and citra double milkshake ipa fermented on peaches mango and pineapple. Really hoping it shipped well. I’ve had terrible luck bottling from the keg and shipping. They’ve been oxidizing on me. I think I worked it out this time
Awesome side trade action from @HopsNTails. Can't wait to dig into these this weekend
