Sorry guys I already traded these out... Sorry I wasnt able to update the thread any sooner I was on vacation

Hi Guys , I have two Blichmann floor burners that I upgraded to the longer leg. I am now moving to a 3 tier set up and would like to move back to the original legs but misplaced one set of them. If you are looking to upgrade to the longer legs we could just do a straight trade, long legs...

Instead of doing MAsh Hops I think I would move those to FWH. In my experience I have never tasted a difference with Mash hopping

Hi Guys, I just Started my brewday with my new March 809HS pump. One quick question when pumping from Brewkettle to plate chiller. Does the order go: BK->Pump->Plate Chiller-> Fermentor? Would this cause Hot side aeration? Or should I go BK->Plate Chiller-> Pump->Fermentor...

Hi Guys, I am in the process of building an Electric HLT out of a Igloo 10 gallon round water Cooler. I am installing 2- 1500w elements and am using the 1' lock nut with o-ring (Bargain Fittings.com) to secure it, For the life of me I can not get the lock nut to thread on to the water...

I am mounting them on the bottom a bit offset to each other to hopefully induce some convection currents. Do you guys have agitators on your Electric HLT's? What type of motor did you use?

I have collected all of the parts for my Electric HLT. I will be using the Igloo 10 gallon water cooler and 2 - 120Volt 1500 watt elements, which will be run on different plugs on different circuits in my garage. I have scrubbed the threads here on HBT on this subject and there is not really...

Well alright then, Thanks for everybodys input!!! I switched over to making 11.00 gallon batches recently and I was a little hesitant on 11 gallons of a first run recipe I wrote. I feel pretty confident now that it should turn out pretty good. I'll let you know how it turns out!!! Thanks...

Are you using a Blichmann brew kettle? If so do you have any pictures of your hop stopper install on the factory dip tube??

Yeah it is a little Frustrating especially considering the money spent on both, It was pretty much the same amount of time with my old beat up brew keg and Immersion Chiller and just siphoning out trub and everything and just letting it settle out in the carboys.

Hi There, I have a new Blichmann 20 Gallon, Boilermaker BK, and Shirron Plate Chiller which is Gravity Fed. I brew 10 Gallon batches, usually super hoppy IPA's. I brewed an IPA Yesterday with 19 ounces of pellet hops. I used about 4 different Nylon Bags. I used a SS Braid attached to the...

Hi Guys, Sometimes I don't want to split up my 10 gallon batches between 2 carboys, due to the room it takes up in the chest freezer so I was looking for vessels for 10 gallon batches and came up with this http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23730&catid=818 they are those...
