    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Yeah that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, for people outside the US, sometimes it's the only option that's available. Or sometimes, the only option that makes sense. For example, the the spray nozzle that McMaster won't ship outside of the US. Something that I see a lot is an item...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Are you talking about the tri clamp weldless bulkhead fitting? If so, that sucks. It also looks pretty much like the one on the site of SS Brewtech.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I drilled a hole in the lid and installed a weldless triclamp ferrule. Here's the ferrule: US $8.45 6% OFF|Weldless Bulkehad 1.5 and the drill bit US $3.75 6% OFF|41mm Tungsten Carbide Tipped Holesaw for Weldless 1.5

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I'll post with more details eventually, but I just wanted to confirm that the nozzle I ordered from Aliexpress worked perfectly. The link + screenshot are in a previous post, a few days ago. As I thought, it's using a bit too much water for my taste, but it does the job perfectly. The water came...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I know, but it seems to do what it should do so far. I did not have time to test in the actual steam condenser setup yet, but I think it will work. The 1.0mm is spraying at a rate of 60 liters/hour (13.2 gph) for me. But I think it depends on the pressure of your water. I don't know the...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Hi Frudel, I had the same problem as you, living in Canada. I'm in the process of building one myself. I'm almost done. I just have to test things this week, and fix what needs to be fixed. I used a nozzle from Aliexpress. It's using BSP threads, so you'll need BSP reducers, tri clamp...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    To tripe check that the water is not leaking to the kettle, you could also let it run for a while and compare the final volume with the starting volume. Beer and BBQ Larry on YouTube, when he had the issue with the prototype, he had more water after the boil than before the boil. In case you...

    7-14 Gallon Tank with Glycol Jacket instead of Immersion Coil?

    There's Brewtools that's teasing on their Instagram and Facebook about new jacketed conical fermenters. In the comments of one of their Facebook post they seem to say the smaller one would be 40 liters (8.8 gallons?). See here and here Brewtools

    7-14 Gallon Tank with Glycol Jacket instead of Immersion Coil?

    Ah... that's annoying :) Thank you for the explanation and the pictures!

    7-14 Gallon Tank with Glycol Jacket instead of Immersion Coil?

    @etk29321 what did you insulate it with? I built a glycol chiller recently to cool a sanke keg fermenter, with a copper pipe around it. The temperature goes down like I want (I could make it freeze if I wanted to), but the 2 times I used it to cold crash, there was a lot of condensation. I...
