Yeah... It wasnt a judgement. I mean you did a great job and you took a ton of time (im sure) to do it, so KUDOS and thanks. Just thinking that if it doesnt make my life easier , i prob wont switch.

really really wish it was in the english system.. I wont even attempt to use this at this point due to that Looks kinda cool otherwise though

i have been using pro mash but I will give this a try.. just downloaded it

I just bought one yesterday... I am excited as it is my first use of a temp controller and I JUST bought a 10.0 cu/ft freezer to go with it! What do you guys use for heating? I am hoping to fit 4 fermenters in there but then I would have to brew 2 similar style brews back to back to use the...

I just purchased this freezer from the best buy website... Can you tell me how many 6.5 gallon carboys would fit in there? I was hoping to get 4 of them and have some hump space for yeast etc

now that is the kind of info I need... step by step THANKS! I may attempt this in the future... once I feel a little more confident. Not sure about those reducers etc though

To be honest I am not really sure how to do it and I already have 3 30 psi regulators with hoses. I would like to eventually get to that point, but I wanted to have a good amount of control over the burners and , again, I am not sure how to handle gas with pipe/fittings/pressure/etc and how it...

Did you purchase that sparge arm pre-made? It looks like its a pic from a store or something

Yeah... I cant do that, since mine is single tier... Ohh well...

Yeah , I will need to build a sparge arm... how did you attach the bottom pipe to the top one? Is the height adjustable? You are able to fly sparge with one pump because you drain with gravity, right? I mean when you fly sparge you are supposed to keep the water just above the grain bed...

Any chance you could take a pic of your sparge arm? I have always been a batch sparger but now that I got the PICO false bottom (which has like 1-2 gallons of liquid under it, not touching the grains), I think I will NEED to fly sparge .... I only have 1 pump right now though, so that will make...

Thanks... We are trying to not waste anything. Stainless is expensive! It is just about done now... Only problem we are having is with some of the weldless fittings leaking (from bargainfittings.com) but I will play with those and the fact that the flame gets messed up when it is put into...

The burner height will be adjustable so I can achieve the best possible distance from the flame as well as to get it out of the way of the tipping converted keg.

Just wanted to post some updates! Again, any and all thoughts, ideas and questions about it are welcome!

I am in almost the exact position right now, 3 keggle and direct fire. I have only 1 pump and cannot use gravity so there is no way form me to fly sparge...is there? I had always batch sparged with my old system and was assuming I would do the same. I too am looking at the PICO since my spigots...

so grain can get through a bazooka tube then? Ugg...

yeah I assume its not a big deal since it is dilute by then anyway. BUT why did you switch from a braided to what you use now if you were getting 90% efficiencies? Why not use the same set up in your new MT?

Hmm.. maybe i can use an extension piece of pipe and an elbow (i would use stainless though) to get closer to the bottom... I have not used this set up before, I was hoping to not have to go through the expense (etc) of a false bottom. If this works for now I would be happy even if i leave...

That is pretty sweet ! That was a similar "tippy" design I had in my head originally, but since we are trying to do this "on the cheap", with items we already had, we opted to go the other route. That's a great idea about the plastic pot base-- thanks! I really want to get some stainless lids...

As I continue to build my new brew rig, I ended up buying this http://www.bargainfittings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=46&product_id=171 braided mash screen for my keggle mashtun. I thought it through and I am having some difficulty figuring out if this will really work...
