Heck yes! We already have a mini-fridge we are planning on using for just that! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ok! Solved the "temp control" conundrum! Made a ss tubing coil that goes inside the fermenter and mounts into the lid! Then we hooked the coil up to a small cooler filled with water and ice packs. We have a submersible pump that is hooked to a Johnson temp control box that will pump chilled...

Just going to throw a question out there as we are having a bit of trouble figuring this part out. So these are jacketed, with just empty space between the jacket and inner wall. Probably about 1/2-3/4 inch between the walls. Does anyone have any ideas of how to feed/coil copper tubing through...

Its been a bit since i have updated this! There HAS been progress though! We got the thermometer and blowoff tube installed on one of these bad boys and are working on the second!

ok! finished installing spigots on both fermenters! now working on installing the thermowells. progress is a little slow, but still going!

Not yet! But thank you for bringing that up! Should be a very easy fix, maybe just drill a few small holes for drainage?

thanks everyone, yeah, these things are kind of pricy brand new so it was a REALLY lucky find! they dont have conical bottoms or anything, but thats not too big a deal. nothin but air! we are going to TRY and see if we can find a way to coil copper tubing between the inner wall of the vessel...

Well, my other project is hitting some snags... But! about a week ago I found these beauties!!! they are jacketed hot food storage tanks. so we decided to turn them into fermenters! here is the comleted step 1. with the ball valve installed!

Step 2!! Replaced the water inlet system! On our way!!!

Yeah, that looks like I am going to end up doing side by side mash the sparge and leave the actual boil to my 15 gal boil kettle. That way I only need the water inside the urns to get up to 150-170, instead of boil temp.

Step one complete! Re-wired a plug so now it actually turns on!!

Here's the labels for our 2 beers we have already made (red ale, and porter) and the label for the pale ale that is fermenting now. Pale ale ABV is not correct on the current label. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

No, not sales pitch-ish at all!! Thanks so much for the link! This will at least give me an idea for a start point. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I recently acquired this beauty!! It is basically an old automated coffee maker with 2 stainless 5 gallon vats. It has a cold water "in" line and internal heating. Hot water would then get pumped in at top of the containers and COFFEE!!! So! ...any thoughts on how I might be able to make...

@pie_man yes! It was still carbonated, but definitely less so than in the keg. This WAS my first time ever bottling, so maybe I just need to give it another go... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
