"I think most fill it from the bottom spout from the MLT to the BK because it's a place to clamp the hose to from the pump." That's mainly it for me. Also, my MLT and BK are on the same level and since the pump is below the BK, the output line from the pump can be at least 2-3 feet shorter...

Sad to hear about that:( I usually go there on my lunch breaks when I need a fill since they're close to work for me too. For my 5# that's almost double the price. Guess I need to get 10# or bigger to make it worth the trip!

Most other countries love snackin' on bugs of all sorts and since they're eating what you'll be drinking, I'm sure health wise it's fine and just another source of protien. I've had dried grasshoppers, crickets, and such and they really don't have any flavor by themselves, so unless there's so...

Beautiful work! I'm subscribed!

Glad to see some activity on this one again! Found this one a couple years ago when I first tried the Nest's Red Rice Ale. I just stumbled onto the "Making Traditional Rice Wine..." thread and it got me interested in this again. I'm only on page 16...out of over 160!... and wondering about the...

And another thumbs up to Koetter Fire Protection. I went in there during lunch today and they filled my 5 LB tank for a total of $10.72. I just went around back and a guy met me at door on the south(ish) corner of the building and took me inside while they filled it. They just set it on a big...

Alright. I'll borrow an actual camera, fine tune my photography skills and send some pics to Blichmann to see what they think on the matter. Thanks to all!

That's kind of what got me so concerned when I found it goin' on with these expensive American Made pots. I got a cheap Chinese conical fermenter and returned the first one because it had a number of these kinds of tears and one of them would weep enough to make it un-usable. The "cracks" on my...

looks like I can't "post" a pic till I'm a premium member, but copy/paste: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7104/30668729.jpg and that'll show what I'm talking about.

I think I've got it...all I've got is a 1st gen Iphone as a camera right now so this is all I can seem to get. It's amazingly hard to focus with these things and this is all I could get tonight. About a third of the image from the left is a vertical, somewhat jagged line which is definitely more...

Well, I can't seem to get ImageShack to acknowledge my existence and I've been hacking at it for an hour and it's almost 2am so I'll try and post it in the morn' but it's definitely sharper than a scratch unless someone was putting some serious pressure on it with a box cutter during a very...

So, about 3 months ago I got a couple brand new Blichmann Boilermakers as I was starting to assemble all the bits and pieces to get into all grain brewing. When they came in the boxes were fine and after a quick look over everything, I didn't notice anything. Then I finally got around to my...

I've been thinkin' about the sliding burner idea for a while and this is the only thread I've found that implements it as I've been dreaming. Any news on how it's holding up? Do the rails get all sticky and unmanageable at all? Or maybe heat warping the rails?

Just getting into the market for one of these and this got me all excited for a few seconds. Then I looked around, loving the cheap price range of them, but noticed that most only measure up to 1.07 on the gravity, and I'll be doing plenty of beers over that range:(

All that sweet gear and yer drinkin' it out of Dixie cups?!?:drunk:
