True, but for me this is what I want. I don't want to pick up from the center since I'll be doing a whirlpool and want to draw from the side. The pint or two of liquid I'll miss won't be too bad. Also, I already had male thread on the inside and didn't want to throw together a bunch of other...

I need to get a burner, possibly two, to get my brewery going on a more robust track. I'm using converted kegs. Well, one euro style at the moment but I'll soon be adding at least one 1/2bbl, maybe two. I need to find a reasonably priced burning that will bring 13+ gallons in a keg to a boil...

Had been thinking about using something just like this. I'll keep my eyes on Hazard Fraught for a deal.

Mine was simple: 80% 2-Row 16% C-60 4% Victory

I love brewhardware.com and I've purchased more there than anywhere else online. That said, I got this dip tube from Anvil: http://www.homebrewing.org/Anvil-Dip-Tube_p_6086.html Since you said you already have a valve, etc, this might be a good choice for you. I like it because it keeps the...

Yeah, I was thinking just go with the damn whirlpool and call it good. :-)

I recently installed the Anvil diptube in my keggle, with a length of silicone tubing to get it all the way to the bottom alongside the wall. Works great! I realized I have a small screen designed to fit over the end of a racking cane. I've had it for years and have never used it. It fits very...

Well, then, I'll avoid it. I went with a properly sized stainless washer. I needed it to get my new diptube to seal onto a nipple that had insufficient thread.

I want to make sure that using a nylon washer inside my kettle is not going to melt, add off flavors, or possibly kill me and my entire family in some sort of post-apocalyptic summoning of dark powers beyond my ken. Basically, I just want to use one as a spacer inside a fixture to adjust the...

This is a clone recipe I worked up of Pray for Snow from 10 Barrel Brewing. It's a 5 gallon extract brew here, but I'm in the process of converting it to a 10 gallon all-grain batch. Any input on how to approach that would be welcome. :-) I will say that this is probably the best beer I've ever...

Heh. Yeah, it's always a concern. I actually have a small piece of stainless steel that I use for s heat shield underneath it.

I purchased this kit from brewhardware: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/sb.htm. I'm very pleased with the quality, as well as the price. The link below will take you to an album of photos documenting the process. Enjoy! https://imgur.com/gallery/mbpYC

Sounds good. Hell, I may even etch the first 4 gallons inside the kettle for my own edification. I'm ready to get this new system rolling!

Thanks for the awesome input! I actually ordered the diptube from Anvil since it looked like it will work nicely with what I'm already set up for, and stay nice and close to the edge. If you don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.anvilbrewing.com/product-p/anv-dip-tube.htm

I installed and took a gander at calibrating my polycarbonate sight glass from brewhardware.com. It's easy and looks great, I recommend it! Anyway, I have it installed with a T in conjunction with my thermometer, off to the side of my valve. When adding water to calibrate, I got no reading on...

I'm getting my first converted keg put together, and it's going to serve double duty as both my HLT and my boil kettle. I've got my valve, thermometer, and (soon) sight glass installed and leak free so now I'm turning my attention inward. Seeing as it's a keg, I'm going to have a fair amount...

I'd like in on this one!

Great advice, thanks! I'll check out more threads.

I've recently started using the trial of BeerSmith and I love it for recipe design, etc. The one drawback I've found is on brew day. I had been using iBrewMaster 2 on my iPhone, and loved how I could create a batch from a recipe and record batch specific notes as well as gravity readings...
