This is what I did. Make some templates for what you have and place them in the freezer to see if they will fit.

@Brich The current keezer I have, I put the CO2 on the inside. The previous one, that quit working, I had the CO2 on the outside. There are +/- for both setups. Like a lot of things related to brewing...personal preference.

@greywolf I really like the handle for the keezer lid, where did you get that?

@Safa - I ended up buying this one from Lowes. I am using it as a fermentation chamber.

Have you looked in the Arduino Forum? https://forum.arduino.cc/

Anyone familiar with the Arctic King 7cf that Walmart sells? It is very close in outside dimensions to the Insignia NS-CS70WH6.

That is correct. Get your wort spinning with your spoon, let it sit for about 10 minutes, then siphon from the side of the pot.

Next time try some Whirlfloc and a nicer bag. The kind that @wilserbrewer sells. Very nice quality. I've been using one of his for quite a while now and it is still going strong. Don't forget to whirlpool with your spoon at the end of the boil, that helps some. Cold crashing will help. Time...

I have brewed once on it and everything went well. It took about 30 minutes to get 9 gallons of water from 45° water to 155°. I did not track the time to get to boil from the end of the mash. Here is an external pic of my Bayou Classic 60 quart pot with the BoilCoil installed.

A while back there was talk in my thread here about propane brewing inside and though I did that for quite a while, I have an update to my brew space...I moved over to electric. I purchased a 15 gallon 240v Blichmann Boilcoil and the Blichmann Power Controller. Here is a pic of the controller...

@kopper - any issues getting the Pi Zero W working with the Tilt?

Glad I found this thread. Seriously considering ordering a Tilt.

So I have added something to my brewery that I have been wishing for since I built it. I don't have water in the brewery because of the possibility of freezing water lines over the winter. I have a yard hydrant outside and added plumbing to the inside for water when I brew. What I was missing...

My wife works in a medical lab and gets this type of stuff in delivery boxes. I tried it on my kettle as I also thought it was reflextic but it is not. It melted as soon as I fired up the burner after the mash was complete. I removed it quickly enough to not have a fire or melted plastic mess.

I have brewed a Vienna/Mosaic a couple of times and enjoy it.
