I don't have it in front of me at the moment so I cannot give a an exact measurement, but it is about the same diameter, maybe a little less, as a pinky finger. So, you should be easly able to fit it in a glass carboy. Also hopefully your fingers are not the same size as André the Giant's.

It is close but not exactly. I have not had a chance to brew it again, but have a few changes. It is a little bit more bitter and not as malty as the original. In addition, of course, the yeast is off a little bit, but I would assume that would happen since I am not using O'Dells yeast...

So if you already have pots and whatnot, you have the world at your fingertips as far as how much money you want to spend. My personal journey went from having a 10 gallon aluminum pot and propane burner with a cooler to mash in, to buying the Brew Boss controller and COFI, to buying a custom...

The 15 gallon version is a pretty solid choice if you only plan on doing 5 gallon batches. As a heads up, with my 20 gallon pot doing 5 gallon batches, every once in a while, I end up having to do a 2 hours boil because of water levels getting low during the mash. I have a boil off of 1.30...

You can find the water to grain weight charts here: http://www.brew-boss.com/category-s/115.htm If I were looking at getting a COFI, I would probably just buy the 20 gallon one, it will give you more flexibility as far as if you want to expand to 10 gallon batches. Honestly I had the 15 gallon...

Still selling 10 Gallon keg? If so shipping to 84115?

So I was lurking around on Ebay and found a 10 Gallon Corny Keg that the seller had stated was a Spartanburg Challenger VI Keg. I really like these kegs for fermenting 5.5 gallon batches in. Made him an offer on it and got it at a pretty good price. I did notice in the pictures that the...

Not trying to sound like a broken record from my previous post on here, however you can get a Kegmenter for $200+ shipping. Other than that I have seen 10 gallon corny kegs, refurbished for $223 or new for $325. I did buy 2 new corny kegs ones awhile back on sale for $275, which is quite a bit...

Yes try sparging. I usually put all my water in at once, heat it up to strike temp, then drain a gallon into a thermos before adding my basket. If I am brewing a 10 gallon batch it take 2 gallons. Run your mash and have it mash out, then pull your basket and once drained pour your thermos of...

Steve, your talking about on the SS Brewtech Keg Wassher right? It is literally running this pump here: FTSs Pump. SS Brewtech does not give much of any specs on it from what I can find. It is just hooked up to a 120V Ac to 12V DC adapter with an on/off switch. You could try shooting an...

I live in Salt Lake City, there are a couple around here that are decent (Epic, 2Row, The Bohemian, Uinta) southern Utah is pretty sparse on Breweries, it is all FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints) territory. You'll see some of the prettiest country in the world and meet some of the...

I'll try and give you some feedback, you have some nice stuff, if you can catch someone trying to make the switch to electric they can get a good deal. In general people online are ADHD and need pics and prices right in front of their face, clicking on a link is too complicated for most. I...

The 10 gallon corny kegs measure 13-1/8" W x 25-1/4" H. I regularly ferment 5.5-6 gallons in 10 gallon cornies with a spunding valve. I would be interested in a lid that had a thermowell going down about 12" to 14", if that is logistically feasible to fit into a keg that size.

I am assuming this is a kitchen sink right? At your cold water shut off valve, you can attach a tee at that, install a ball valve onto the tee and attach a garden hose adapter onto the ball valve. I did something similar before with the sink in my garage, just went to Home Depot and talked to...

Didn't Jean Claude Van Dam already solve this?
