So I've been mulling over wether I want to stick with my original 5 gallon ebiab keggle setup plan or move to a traditional three vessel electric setup. I most often brew 5 gallon batches, but there are a few recipes that I wish I had more of in the pipeline to last longer, which is where 10...

Well, I hope someone answers because I would like to know as well. I'm looking at getting either one of these or a keg dry hop filter. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Wesley and Buttercup!!!! What? It's worked for me before! Count me in and I hope to win!

Bobby, your remedy worked. Had to make a custom gasket out of some gasket material from Lowe's, but it fit the bill. Today was a successful brew day thanks to you. Next time I'll know where to take my dollars in the first place and avoid the issue all together.;)

Well a new outlet with only the gold bridge removed proved to be a success. Thanks again GilSwil et al for all of the help and pointing me in the right direction, I was beginning to worry! Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Sorry the picture is upside-down so the temp probe is in the 3,4 position. I tried to follow the method here:http://www.onemansbeer.com/keezer-build-diy-temperature-controller/ Are you saying that breaking the tabs on both sides has left and "open" which is keeping the circuit incomplete...

I broke the tab on both sides of the outlet, but would that keep the unit from powering on entirely? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hopefully these pictures aren't useless, but I've followed wiring instructions, double and triple checked them and the unit still won't power up? Am I missing something obvious or did I get a dud? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Got it. So, gasket on the outside minus the washer. I'll give it a go after work tomorrow and report back, thanks for the input fellas!

Well, I'm sorry to report that the outside gasket idea was a bust. Still leaking. But further inspection and a well-placed cellphone picture shows that the nut is indeed getting hung up on the weld which is keeping it from sitting flush against the kettle wall. Have I ruined a good keg or is...

No, there isn't. throwing one between the kettle wall and the washer fixed it, eh? I'll give it a whirl and see if that's the ticket. Fingers crossed.

Hey all, just got my site-glass and bulkhead installed on my keg and was going to fire up some water to see how long a boil was going to take me on my 30k burner. While I was waiting for the water to heat I noticed that the site-glass thermometer combo was leaking. So, I drained the water and...

Sure, PM me for my address and I'll happily "judge" your beer!:cross: P.S.- I may not have many good notes rather than, "Yummy."

Double plus!

Thanks for covering the bases, yes, I always start with a healthy dose of re hydrated yeast, and have a temp controlled ferm chamber(mid-upper 60's). I use campden tablets too for chloramines and a full volume, vigorous boil to drive off chlorine. I shop at River City Homebrew in Richmond(north...

Ok, thanks so much for the help. I'll just try it out "as is" for now and hope my attempts are enough to appease SWMBO.

Hey all, I'm trying to get everything ready for my first all grain brew day this weekend(BIAB) and I'm trying to get my local water report figured out, but frankly, it's all Greek to me! I have thought about saying screw it and just trying my luck with my water how it is(besides removing...

Great question! Let's see... if I had to quantify it'd be around $100 a paycheck for the next X amount of months. Not as lavish of an income as I'd like, but I'm hoping to change that someday if I can ever graduate(I'm on the decade plan). :o

Touche' on the coolness factor sir! Pretty sweet setup there! I really would love to replace the PID build with a BCS swap but right now it's all about persuading SWMBO that it's a worthwhile investment with another baby on the way(Which is one reason I'm trying to do this on the cheap). And...

Thank you for the input, I've looked over this setup a few times and while cost is definitely a factor there is also a major loss of "cool factor" with just a plug'n'play unit. While I'm definitely a newbie to the world of wiring/diagrams, I am a pretty handy guy with a decent shop full of tools...
