The fan and flexible duct could be had at Dome Hepot or a Hydroponic growing supply store. The hydroponic store will offer more of a selection of fans and flexible ducts. They likely have hoods too so you might be able to buy one cheaper than making one. Let us know how this turns out...

Should I just do 2 back to back Five gallon batches? Might be worth my time since everything would be all set-up.....just a thought. I've got 3 Carboys and 3 empty Cornys.

I agree with the above post. However 36 hours in my experience is too long at 30 PSI. I found that 18 hours at 30 PSI followed by 1-2 days at serving pressure (10-11 psi for me) to be sufficient. I have also found that 24 hours at 30 psi over-carbonated my beer. It's a pain in the arse to keep...

I haven't brewed in a while but that's about to change. I'm making another batch of Dead Ringer IPA. I'm going with an extract this time to jump back in the game. As I mentioned, I up sized my boil kettle to 10 gallons. It's finally warm enough here to do my brewing in my garage. I need my...

Sorry for the delay haven't seen this thread in a while....To answer your question. The Mash Tun and HLT get no heat from the burner. Besides being offset, not above the burner or kettle, the wort acts as a heat sink in that it absorbs most of the heat from the burner which is then given off as...

I had good luck force carbing a "Bells Two Hearted IPA" clone by having my corny in the ref. at 30 PSI for 18 hrs and then dropping it down to 11 PSI (no rolling or shaking)which was the correct serving pressure for the temperature according to the chart. I have found that 24-30 hrs at 30 PSI...

A complete success! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm about to get going on an Oatmeal stout for the next beer on the Nitro side. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I see your arm has been twisted. I think you'll find the money well spent. I love the hissing sound as I pour the Guinness. I never heard it before because it was always in a noisy bar. It is helpful to unscrew and rinse out the nozzle after you're done pouring for the night. Sent from my...

Very first pint of Guinness from the new system . Reg set at 34 PSI. One of the best pints I've had in the US. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have had great luck with a guy from Selkirk, NY that I found on eBay. I got full sets of O-rings for my Perlick 545PC faucets. You can do the paypal thing direct to him. He's fast and cheap. Also does Corny keg O-rings. Go find "anthonysauctions2" on eBay. He's top notch

Carbing is done with straight CO2, then it's served on the 75/25 gas. ^^^That's a VERY impressive setup! Well done, looking forward to my Nitro-Stout tomorrow.

Stouts that are served on 75/25 gas are force carbed with straight CO2. Nitrogen does not go into solution in the beer. Be careful, it's easy to overcarbonate these. Shoot for 1.1 v/v. Once it's carbed then it gets dispensed on the beergas. If you don't want to spring for a Nitro system and...

How I set up the inside with secondary regs.

I installed my Nitro system yesterday. Drilled a 1 1/8" hole for the stout faucet and another 1/2" hole for the separate gas hose. Both cylinders are outside of the fridge so I can fit 3 cornys or sixtels. My CO2 side has 2 secondary knock down regulators inside so I can dial in each beer...
