You don't have to line up the holes. Or just use a SS DISK, if we need to be technical. :mug:

You could silver solder a washer over it.

How long did the brew day end up taking start to finish?

I'm a little curious. What does making a 240v power cord have to do with running 2 elements at 2000W instead of just 1? Doesn't the Hosehead already have 2 element outlets on it? I'm looking at reducing my standard batch size to 2.5gal and going electric, and this is build is essentially what...

I just found this thread. I am looking at moving from gas to electric and this seems like one of the better ways of doing it rather cheaply. Are you still happy with your controller box? Anything you would change? Is the list of equipment you used to build it still accurate?

I have considered the loc-lines, and I like the flexibility they offer. But as I mentioned above, I'm trying to avoid plastic in the mash tun, and I also have concerns about being able to keep them clean. Lots of nooks and crannies to catch wort and grow bugs if my sanitation isn't top notch.

I am very familiar with using CPVC for hot water supplies, and I'm not planning on sparging with water that hot (maybe not actually sparging at all, probably just mash recirculation, once I add something like a RIMS tube so I don't have to direct fire). I would simply rather stick with copper...

Cpvc would be cheaper, but I'm trying to avoid any plastics in the hot side process. Metal and silicone hose is all I'd like. Not sure that I will go with a sparge, since at the moment I BIAB, but this seems a very simple ready-made option if I decide it's something I want to do. I'm adding a...

I was browsing the interwebs for ideas to build a sparge arm, and came across these two items. I was wondering if anyone has used something like this (meant for gas use, not liquid) for a sparge arm? They're made of 304SS, the're the right diameter to fit just under a lid, and they're about...

Count me in!

Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale from here on HBT (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=31793), except I used 0.5lb of Cara 20L instead of 10L. Picture from 28 hours after pitching yeast.

Is the curve going to be butting up against the maple flooring, or some other design element? Curves in tile are a pain in the ass.

I leveled the keg on my kitchen floor, and then used a 1 gallon measuring pitcher. I went by half-gallon increments, which was a lot of adding and marking, but will be worth it in the end. (This may not end up perfectly level compared to when its sitting on the burner in the garage, but it...

Just... damn. This is amazing. Awesome design, great space, sweet equipment. Executed perfectly. I am insanely jealous of your personal brew space man. Kudo's! :tank: Conner

It was a major pain in the ass trying to work inside of it. So I'm not sure just how accurate the lower marks ended up, but I'm pretty happy with the results. We'll see how they hold up to actual brew days. I could NOT find decent vinyl stencils for the life of me. Visited 3 different hobby...

I got a Mr. Beer kit from my sister-in-law for my birthday one year. She had gotten one for my brother a few months before and he had liked it, so she thought I might enjoy it too. I did 3-4 batches in the little brown kegs, before getting bit bad by the bug and moving straight to 5 gallon...

My first 3 batches of mead. A BOMM, JAOM, and a Tart-cherry Melomel. The JAOM took off like crazy last night.

Give her a space in the garage, and she'll let you do whatever the hell you want with the rest of it :D. AWESOME space dude. Make me wish our last house, where I had the space and plans to do something similar. Looks like I'll have to go ahead and turn my new shed into a brew shed :tank:.

The best clone I've made was Left Hand Brewing's Milk Stout. There's a thread in the recipe forum about it that's quite extensive, with several variations that are worth trying as well (specifically the vanilla bean and cacao nibs additions). This clone has been, by far, the most popular beer...

I'd love to win one of these giveaways someday... Count me in.
