Yes, a couple of years ago we moved into this new house with lots of space available in the garage to use for brewing. It's quite a luxury. Sounds like you're brewing under pretty challenging conditions. Fortunate that you can even get your hands on DME, hops, yeast, etc. Really clever how...

I already had the Sawzall for other projects around the place. A bandsaw definitely would have been easier, but not on my to-buy list. I like the 3 kettle setup so that I have one for the hot liquor tank, one for the mash tun, and another for the boil kettle. It matches how I think about my...

It was really straightforward once I decided how to cut it (I used a Sawzall). It's as strong as a tank

Thanks! Since I first posted this I found and obtained something similar from Auber: https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=279 Seems to work really well. I also got a liquid-tight RTD sensor from them...

A little late, but I just saw this post. Recently I've been looking to replace an inline analog thermometer installed in a cross like that shown above since it's inaccuracy (and slow response) has been bothering me when I monitor the temp coming out of my mash tun and into my RIMS. Tonight I...

I'm looking to replace at least one of my inline dial thermometers (currently mounted on the top of a ss cross fitting) that monitors the output of my mash tun and input of my RIMS tube. After looking around I found this RTD PT100 probe from Auberins...

Here's a recent pic with the RIMS installed

Thanks! It's great to see months of obsession more or less finalized. I was also doing a direct-fired recirculating mash for years, but very recently switched to a RIMS tube setup (using Bobby's kit from BrewHardware). So only 2 burners now. Thanks again for starting out this post, it has...

nope, the plastic coating continues into the inside of the tip. The plunger itself is stainless and I assume what is under the plastic coating is also stainless (more for durability I guess), but of course I can't tell. The part that connects to my beer line (duo tight in my case) is also...

I've been using a couple of the ABS ones for a few months now. I believe they advertise that the internals of these are stainless steel. They've been working well for me.

It's been a while since this thread has seen any new activity, but I thought I would show off my just completed build. I've read this entire thread multiple times and there are so many good ideas that I "borrowed". The cost of materials have certainly increased since this thread first started -...

It wasn't that much of a pain for me but I found BeerTools to be more straightforward. I also didn't like how BeerSmith's final volume and efficiency was geared towards what made its way into the fermenter rather what was left in the BK after cooling. The latter is much more straightforward for...

I use a Mac and used BeerSmith for a while, but have switched over to BeerTools. I find the equipment setup and volume calculations much more straightforward with BeerTools. Not so many places to see what is going on behind the scenes. I also like the mash schedule much better in BeerTools for...

During my brew day yesterday, I found that both my inline dial thermometers were reading low by 3ºF (calibrated with my Thermapen, which I trust) even though I had calibrated both a couple of days before (both at freezing and boiling), I'm thinking of going with an RTD type probe at least for...

I'm also a rider and have a been on Strava for several years now. Stays cold up here in ID for quite a while (and I'm a wimp riding in cold weather), so I do a lot of miles every week on my indoor trainer. You should check out the Xert app - it a great app to track and improve your fitness on...
