    I guess I am using a filter of sorts. I use a hop spider with a paint filter bag. Hops and other additions go into the bag. When cleaning up, I have never seen much in the way of particles. What do you suggest, a bazooka?

    I'm whirlpooling and using Irish moss. Since the post about the stout I have done two other brews with no trouble so far. I clean up by circulating oxyclean with the heat set to 180. Rinse the HX with fresh water. I'm not filtering.

    Thanks Randy. We enjoyed the campfire with your family. The pepper (chipolte?) ale was very good. I hope you build the brewery. Let me know if I can help in any way. Cheers

    Cutting cornies down to size?

    I've thought of this. I wonder how sanitary the weld would be inside.

    HERMS with 2 elements at same time or not?

    Is this 50 amp breaker removable? You mentioned square d but a different style. What is the number of the panel? Could you replace the 50 with one that suits the plan?

    Moved to a new system and everything stopped working. Help?

    Is the new system such that you could be affecting flow? Possible air pockets?

    I finally got my plate heat exchanger installed; The wort side is hi-temp silicone with quick connects. The water side is hoses. I did a stout the other day, and the wort got from boiling to 68* in about 10-minutes. (re-circ and winter water temp is about 52*) The system works great, I got...

    Garden hose for the cooling water. Silicone on the wort side. Save the waste water for cleaning.

    Cleaning Used Glass Carboy

    Possible contents? Paper mill? Probably some kind of acid. I think that is why the vessels are sometimes referred to as "acid carboys".

    If you are talking the switches, yes, they are available with 120-V indicators. You can get them configured for almost any switching/indicator combo you need. Yes, it got the job done. My installation was a bit noisey. Added CFM would add to the noise. I don't think I would want any more in...

    My next project for the brewery is to add the plate chiller that a friend gave me. I'm wondering how I should use it. Should I re-circ and cool with the chiller, or use gravity flow directly into the fermenter, as I do now with my CF Chiller? If I were to re-circulate back to the BK, what...

    I wasn't happy with the way the temporary ghetto hood worked during my test brew. I took it down and installed the salvaged fitting I had originally planed to modify. I installed it as I found it. "27 by"27. I lowered it closer to the kettle, and secured it to the wall and ceiling. I dovetailed...

    I have the greenhouse fan that you mentioned. It's about 400 cfm. As for the hood; I need to make it smaller to increase the flow over the boil kettle. I'll be trying the fitting that I was originally going to modify. I'm going to try it as is. 27"x27". I figure that I should approximately...
