Hello there! I've got some heating element enclosures for sale. All items are new, I bought different types for my rig, but had to use what was available here. 1) ADE or Moonshine Stils (USA). Kettle connection - tri-clamp 2". Heating element connection - 1" NPS. It closes with 2" clamp, it has...

Grain bill is fine, however my recent research asks for MUCH more oat malt (6%>15-20%) and even more caramel malts. As for conditioning, it has been 10 days after I kegged it, with all fermenting periods longer than usual (had to abandon brewery for a week). 1) Unfortunately, I have no access...

Hi there! I'm struggling a lot to brew full-bodied sweet stout. Maybe it's because I missed last Stout Day (and the one before) and didn't made a black liquid sacrifice :( Or maybe because I miss some very important concept, however I have already read and tried a lot. So, any help is welcome...

Is it? 0.45mm is 0.018", considering the grain to be 1-2 mm in length it will be ripped into a miliion pieces. I've never seen such small gap advised in any BIAB thread. And Cobrew baskets has a 0.4mm mesh on the bottom, so 0.45mm milled grain will most likely flow throught it. So, I highly...

I don't really like the looks of STC-1000 and I want both temperatures to be always visible, and I want to pay extra for it :ban: The question is, will it still work fine or it is technically unacceptable?

Hi everyone! We are building a bar-based brewery, and I really could use some advice, because I do this solely and for the first-time and my head is literally exploding with information :fro: I need to design a controller for glycol-based chiller system for my FV and brewing heat...

Sorry guys, just dug into work so hard. I'll respond to everyone later today.

Hi, fellow homebrewers! We are from cold mother Russia, and we ordered one extra 5x-kit for our heating element enclosures by mistake ~_~ Here they are, along with some leftovers from our build: (all images are "click-to-expand") All stuff is brand new (never used). 3x of...

Today we tried to assemble everything we've got, to find out where exactly the fittings in the pot must be. As it was assembled, it looked exactly like... fluggaenkdechioebolsen, if you know what I mean :p Anyway, all the chinese fittings fitted just the same as the american ones did. They look...

When you are a decent guy and all, but her new boyfriend just have the bigger one: Her Monstrocity MM-2PRO HT has arrived, time to motorize it!:fro:

My system will be so limited in size because I have the total rent-free place with all neccesary documents, but it only can provide 25-30kW peak, and making it a 30-40kW (it also will be used for cooling fermenters, cooling finished beer etc) will cost me quite a lot - ~200$ per 1kW. I decided...

I hope so, becase the tinkershop is legally authorized to construct breweries here, but they do it on a much larger scale (10bbl is minimum). We will try to make it all look like made by them. :fro:

As for what I'm going to use, I'm building one myself based on this design. I'm writing about it here, at least I'm gonna to when more parts arrive ;) Currently it cost me €4.5k and will cost 500-600€ more to put all together (this includes all the supporting stuff - Thermapen...

Sorry, I mistyped, it will be 110l batches with blowoff, so dont really need that extra space. I decided at start that no local grain will be used, due to poor quality and stability. So, I'm all in Castle Malting (Belgium) and Weyermann (Germany). Weyermann's Pale costs 1,085€ per kg...

I'm from Russia, and I'm currently facing just the same situation here - 50l kettle, homebrewing a lot and with some success, big plans and some deeds to make next step to brew ~3000l a month. And I happen to look into the exact equipment company (Letina, here in Russia they have an official...
