A really nice Wit. I've been really busy. Pipeline is Drying up!! I'm brewing this weekend. A toss up between the wit again, or a porter.

I will. I've been studying here for months. Great stuff I'll start in Fall.

They look to be about 3/16 rod. I think that they might sag once they get that hot.

I have one in the box in my basement awaiting my electric system build. I'm going to place the vessels on the middle shelf, pumps on the bottom and a hood at the top.

I've seen threads stating to add DME to raise low gravity. Is there a rule of thumb? How much extract to raise a given amount?

Where could I get it for $25?

"Personal Space" station..

That's no garage!:cross: Where's the busted car and waste oil barrels? Really impressive work!:mug:

It looks like a flare union. It would have 2 male flare ends. Have you seen a replacement nozzle? I think it would have a female flare nut-type end.

I have the plans for the electric part of my rig all set. Anyone care to share how their workspace is set up? I'm trying to plan how to layout cleaning and bottling tasks. TIA Steve

If not opd you can usually exchange at home depot.

Sure, blame someone else!;);) Very nice rig.

At what point do you sample? From the runnings from the end of the sparge?

Wasn't blowing, but hadn't fallen back into the liquid, as I had seen in other brews. I'm pretty sure I messed up. Just wondering how to proceed.

Well, I did Brad Smith's Wit recipe; 4.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) Bel (3.2 SRM) Grain 50.00 % 4.50 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 50.00 % 1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00 %] (60 min) Hops 16.7 IBU 0.75 oz Coriander Seed (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 0.75 oz Orange Peel, Bitter (Boil 5.0 min) Misc 1...

Any issues with reducing the piping after the fan? how does it perform in use?

I just re-read the OP. I don't think that I would be comfortable with a hood made from a combustible material over gas burner. The fan behind the burner idea seems best to me. After seeing Nattybrew's set up, I'm gonna copy that one, since I'm building an electric rig.

I'm thinking about building a box out of foam board. I'll seal the seams with epoxy (I have some from another project) Then, paint the rest with more epoxy. cut a hole in the right place for my in-line fan, and done. Epoxy resin is safe for foam, not so with polyester. Could also be done...

I had that thought..Seemed crazy..do-able, but crazy..:mug: My assumption was that the freezer had to function as such. One consideration in blocking air flow is it's effect on the defrost feature. Air flow helps gather frost and condensation. without it, the box would be damp, and defrost may...

Probably not.. The control of the compressor is accomplished through a control in the fresh food compartment. Once satisfied, the compressor will shut off. The temp of the freezer is usually controlled by a combination of the fresh food setting and a damper that directs air through the...
