My roomate is chef'n up a little sausage and red gravy on my 90% complete brewing sculpture. I wonder if it's bad karma for my approaching first batch??? Ah but the glorious food will be delicious in a couple hours. I think I'll rdwhahb and enjoy.

It's 8 feet long. 32 inches wide.

I was where you are in may. I'm getting somewhat close to finishing my rig. All wood, sq14, automated HLT/herms tank, single teir. It's been a hell of project

Is it ok to use barrel jacks( like for laptop power connections) to connect an ASCO solenoid valve to the control box on my brew stand? I'm planning on using little "type m" or type n" jacks from radio shack. Is this safe?

Lemongrass wheat ale recipe kit from ahs was myfirst all grain. Put it in primary and rack cool wort on top of it. Everybody loved it. The keg floated way too fast. I don't know exactly how much it was, but I'd say enough to fill 12 ounces In a measuring cup. It stayed with the beer for a week...

I got my hands on 4 panel mount dc jacks. I am using a pt100 temp sensor with 3 wires, so it will connect using two dc jacks. The ASCO valve has 3 wires. Can I simply ground it's green wire to the wood on the brewstand? Then connect it's two power wires through a dc jack? I am wiring it so I can...

Its called Lawnmower beer. Outta Texas. Pretty good craft brew.

This just made my night

Two pumps one box: fat 50 ammo can is complete and wired up. Gas lines will be plumbed soon. Sheet metal should be installed this weekend. Asco valve wiring and temp controller set-up will hopefully be done soon. I gotta read the manual before I start drinking if I'm ever gona get that pid...

I mounted a couple of pumps in this fat 50 ammo box. I need to wire them up to toggle switches. I have two standard toggle switches and a cheap extension cord to wire everything up with. can anyone gimme a little "how to" on what wires go where? each pump has green white and black cord has...

Thank you sir. That's just what I needed to hear. I'll look for twist lock outlets. Excuse my ignorance, but I dont know what DC barrel jacks are. Direct connect or direct current?

I'm thinking two pumps, one fat 50 ammo can, 3 switches, and a little fan to keep it cool. Ebay'd the ammo can last night. Now; how to manage the controller-thermoprobe-solenoid rig. Are quick disconnects for these sorts of electronics useable? I know the thermoprobe I ordered has a qd on it...

I just built a big wooden stand to brew on. It's a single tier 2 burner rig. I will soon be rigging it up with an asco valve and controller. Here lies the problem: it will live on my patio. How do asco red hats hold up in south Louisiana elements? Can they handle some light moisture? Patio is...

It's just sitting on sawhorses right now. I'll have it on 3" casters whenever they come in the mail. The burners will be on shelves with 5 2x4 studs under each for support, then 1/2" plywood, then sheet metal for heat protection.

The sculpture is coming along nicely. I put in several orders yesterday for fittings and automation. The plan is herms coil in the HLT, one asco valve, one controller, one thermostat on the HLT ball valve. 2 pumps will recirculate wort and HLT water to keep temps where they should be during the...

So construct is underway. Ive decided to go single tier. I ordered a couple of pumps, a sq-14, and an 11gallon bayou classic ss pot. I'm thinking I'll convert it to a herms tank / HLT. Thanks fellas for the input. More to come. Opinions much appreciated. Cheers

I am in the planning process. Figured I'd put my thoughts on thread. I'm thinking a two or three tier rig with one or two burners. I ordered a march 809 today. I have a home depot 10 gallon cooler mash tun I plan on using on the rig initially. I also have a keggle for the boil and a simple one...

Kit came with a big bag of several ozs of hops for the secondary so yep, should be nice and hoppy once I get that marinated in there. Nothern brewers does let you opt for no yeast with the kit. Ive only been in the brewing game about half a year, so I don't know much about different strains of...

Surly furious kit from nb.

1335 hard at work this morning. ~12 hours after pitching. It's going to be a long 6 weeks
