Thanks for the input! I never really thought about the noise!

Hey all, So recently I've broken two blenders. The plastic piece that makes the blade spin has broken on both. It seems like a waste to through out a perfectly good blender motor. Any ideas on repurposing these for brewing? Cheers!

Put me down for two pumps

I did mean to say it was for all grain batches, sorry. Thanks for the replies! TwoHeads, thank you for the links! Dan

Hey, I've used the search function and can't seem to find a thread pertaining exactly to my question.... I'd like to do 25gal batches, what size of kettle do I need for that? Thanks, Dan

Thanks guys, Bean: Thanks for the info! I think thats what we will do. Dan

We put a quick disconnect on the outside of the keezer just at the lid in order to keep the system pressurized when the CO2 tank needs to be disconnected. As you can see she can hold 6 cornys. There is room for the CO2 tank on the hump but we decided to put it out side the freezer...

Hey, Thought I'd show off our latest project. My friend and I built a keezer a couple of weeks ago. So far it only has one tap but we will be ordering 3 more taps soon. We put are own spin on Bobby's version. (by the way, thanks for the youtube vids, they were a great help!) We...

Alrighty, thanks for the input! March pumps it is then! Dan

Hey everyone, I'm in the planning stages of a single tier brew stand. I was wondering if anyone uses pumps from a dishwasher to pump wort. I would need two pumps. I would believe the pumps could handle the temperature of the wort. Any info would be greatly appreciated. If a dishwasher pump...

Thanks ex! Thats a sweet looking stand. I'll have to post some pictures of ours when we get it finished. Thanks for all the info. You'll have to let me know how the first brew day goes!

11 works for me. Thanks for the info.

Just to clarify, if I wanted to make a 10gal batch, I'd just double everything? I'm building my all grain setup soon and I think I'd like to make this as the first batch. Thanks, Dan

Wow! I love HBT! A little more than 20min of posting and already a reply! Thanks for the info! I've thought of another question.... what size of bulkhead/3 piece ball valve should I used? I'm planning of getting pumps for my system so what would be the best size to use? Thanks in advance! Dan

Hey, I'm starting to piece together my all grain set up. I will be getting my kettles fabricated from stainless steel. I'd like to do 10gal batches. Is a 15gal kettle big enough for that? Also how high above the "floor" of the kettle should the bulkhead for the valve be? Should this height...

That would be great! I can wait, we are still in the planning phase, probably won't build the stand for a few weeks yet. Thanks!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else as build this stand and if they have the dimensions/plans or any tips for it. I already sent ScubaSteve a pm about it but any possible input would be great. I decided to go the wood route because a buddy of mine is a carpenter and says he'd build me a...

I'm pretty new to brewing but have a little bit of experience in brewing in plastic bottles. I started out brewing in brown PET bottles. Lately I only brew in glass. One batch I brewed I used plastic and glass. I noticed they both tasted slightly different. I can't really describe the flavor...

Hey Everyone, I'm Dan. I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I've been homebrewing for about 2 years now. About 8 5-Gal Batches under my belt(including 1 failure). Right now I do mostly extract batches but I'm slowing venturing into partial mashes. This summer I hope to build an all-grain setup...
