I found this on ebay and bought it for about 40$. It's stainless steel, insulated, round 10 gals. It could do a nice MLT or HLT. What do you think ? I'll put it in the container, and I'll see this summer what I can do with it.

These rollers seem to have ball bearings.

How did you knurled your mill rollers ? SS is really hard to knurl by pressing it, you have to make the knurl pattern by cutting metal. Long time I did not put my hands on a lathe but when we had to knurl SS, we used a CNC lathe with a cutting tool to make screws filets. For mild steel and...

I chatted a bit with some brewers pals, and the first thing coming to every mouth is: temperature control. Looks like the stepped mash infusion is the thing most would like to be under control, and done easily. Today I began writing down the logic. This week I'll try to do a bit of code...

Of course, "sanitizing" the process would lead to a "dead beer". I don't want to automate the brewing process for just having to put grain and water at one end and getting wold wort at the other after a certain time. I just want to try to fully program the brew process but by small parts...

Thanks, I read those threads and learned a lot. Now I got to plan and draw the boiler :drunk:

My setup: - HLT: converted keg with 55,000 btu propane burner - Boiler: converted keg with 55,000 btu propane burner - Mash Tun : Igloo 10 gal with SS false bottom - Iwaki pump - 15 plates heat exchanger - a bunch of valves, copper tubing and so on... - thermometers The burners are...

In Europe you don't have that many twist off caps. Most of the beer brands use pry off and the bottles aren't refundable. They're made of thin glass compared to the empty bottles I buy. We just throw them into special containers for glass. I do not understand why pry off caps should be more...

Just saw the video, and now I want a plasma torch ! It's doing really nice job. I'll try to find someone in town who has that just to try. I cut my kegs with an angle grinder with a few discs for stainless. Took long time. I welded the inserts with a mig/mag and I'm pleased with the results...

Thanks for your welcome. GoatFarmersInternational -> your french is more than good, no mispelling ;) desertBrew, I began reading the threads and I saw many technical things very interesting. I'll try to post during the setup to show you what I do, hopping someone will correct me before making...

Bonjour Jean-François. I'm new on this board too, and maybe we'll meet in Montreal. I'm moving to Thetford Mines this summer, but I'll have to stay for a while in Montreal for my job. A bientôt.

Hello everyone. I just signed to this board. I'm currently located in south of France, but I'll be moving shortly to Canada with my brewery :) I have a basic setup with two converted kegs, one for sparge, one for boiling, and an igloo cooler for mashing. I played a bit with it, but...
