I'm looking for ~3 corny lids with thermowells built in like you made for schematix earlier in this thread. These will be for pressure fermenting so I don't want blow off tubes, just the thermowell. Price and availability?
I'm curious about this as well. Also, how does that work, twisting the lid through the keg lid hole with a long thermowell in the way?
@Jaybird - what's my cut for sending these guys over here????
The PRV wasn't moved. These were brand new lids with a hole drilled and a (shortened) thermowell welded in place. The thermowell is only about 6" long.
Only 6" long, eh? Might not work well for small batches. What about instead of welding a thermowell a fitting was installed that could accept the thermowell after the lid is in place. The fitting would have to be robust enough to hold up to pressure. I'm imagining just like another liquid post with the center drilled out and sealed up some way.

I'll check it out for you.. Give me a few days. Tomorrow is SLAMMED and the elements are at the fab shop.

Any chance you got to this? Thanks.
Get a 2.5 gallon keg for small batches.... problem solved.
There are documented ways to do this with a fitting. I didn't want more crevices and threads for crud to collect so i went the welded route.
After doing yours and you getting them in and out of the kegs several times now, do you think we could add an inch or 2 to those and they still fit?
Cheers

Documented ways to do it with a fitting that can hold up to relatively higher pressures?
What I'm talking about is welded fittings and no more places for nasties to hide than there are already are in a standard beer or gas post.
Jaybird, you should make a ongoing list of all your favorites from this. Might be interesting
Nice video, what conical is that, very nice
Its just some China thing we got like 5 years ago by a vendor that shipped the wrong size. I have so much invested in the shipping we cant afford to sell it..Or at least nobody will buy it for what we have in it. Especially these days with the Ss stuff out there.....So it sits and sits and sits.. Why? You want to buy it?
Cheers
Jay
Just never saw that style if lid clamp before, looked interesting. I will buy it for the right price
PM me an offer I can't understand.
Cheers
Jay
500$, free shipping?
What size is it?
cold crash pics, note the water/sanitizer it brought into the jar (instead of my fermenter)
Jaybird,
I need a few thermowells with 1/2" NPT with short stems, stems just long enough to put it in the middle of a 1/2" tee fitting like so:
Basically I need exactly those thermowells without the attached digital probes.

What sized FEMALE threads do you want on the bushing?
Jay
None necessary.
I'd hate for you to go to too much trouble. The ones in the brewpi website are at about $23 ea including shipping. If it looks like too much work don't worry about it.Let me play with a few parts and see how easy we can do this.
Sure, that's fine.No threads needed but is it OK if they are there? Like 1/4" FNPT?
I'd need 4.You said you need a few? So 3 total?
Yes I do.Do you need the TEES as well?
Cheers
Jay
Meh why cold crash? Add gelatin let it settle and pour at high PSI for first pint or so, if you're careful clear beer isn't hard but it'll come no matter what. I used a daisy chain for fermentation and give it time
My jaybird accessories. Going to have to find a way to reduce the amount of tubing needed between jars. It still works as is. Hope to have it full in the near future.
How does this setup work for your conical? Does it work as anticipated?
Jaybird, can you make the wall flange for faucets? I was looking for some thicker ones so I can pull my my faucets away from the wall about an inch and a half, or more. I would need six, can you shoot me a quote when you get time? Thank you!
I am sure we could come up with something for you if we got creative. But all those flanges are stamped or injection molded.
Is it you need to move them because of your tap handles? If that is the case we sell a bonnet angler. That will make your tap handles stand straight up and not angled back to the wall.
Cheers
Jay
I have a request.
I need two 3/4" tri-clap caps that have the mounting thread for standard keg taps on them. So basically I need the caps to have those threads so that I could screw on a standard ball lock post (one has gas, one has liquid), and use the standard dip tube setup. I can post a picture of the one I started to make before I just ran out of time to finish this.
