You are correct, bad wording on my part. Should have said hot to neutral. I also wasn't clear that for the previously mentioned GFCI's to function, there must obviously be a ground wire too.

#1 - Is a Spa panel absolutely necessary? Wouldn't it be less complicated to just swap the 50A Breaker with a 50A GFCI breaker at the subpanel? _____I went with a 30amp breaker in the box since I built my panel to never allow both elements to fire simultaneously. #2 - I plan on using a 5500...

I've always used hoses with cam connects. I like the flexibility (no pun intended) of pulling them off for easy cleaning or if I need to do a custom connection. I've just recently mounted my 3 keggle herms system semi permanently to a brew pole and have determined that I don't need to pull...

Alrighty, today was the shakedown cruise of the new setup!! The only thing I discovered is that I need to recalibrate my sensors for the extra run of wire that I now have. The minor drop in voltage for the longer run results in a discrepancy with my reliable laboratory thermometer. Easy to...

Valid point. Here in Hill Country we have pretty reliably nice weather with the exceptions being occasional pop up storms in the afternoon heat. I thought about it and decided my brewing schedule is sufficiently flexible that the trade off of mobility versus space was worth it.

And here it is. Each set of brackets is rated for 1000lbs. I sat on a pair with no problem and I weigh more than a full keg. So that nothing moves around, I also drilled through the top collar of each keg and inserted a threaded rod straight through the post. A nut on each end and voila...

Wait for it...... epic... just a couple more days for the final parts to arrive......

I'm looking at doing something like this for inside a Keggle mash tun. I currently use a bag (just for the simplicity of clean up) but find that with big grain bills and or using oats, it forms against the false bottom, essentially cutting off the flow to the HERMS system. A basket like this...

I just realized I should be using my wife's vacuum sealer to seal up left over hops...duh.

I don't leave it permanently in line. I periodically disconnect a hose from the regulator and put this guy in line for a little while to check. I've thought about a couple of valves to 'shunt' the gas line through this, but concluded it wasn't worth the effort. Change a keg, test....

Simple way to see if gas is flowing when it shouldn't be... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P74J3PL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_xIt9FbVHHPNM2

Good find. For $130 however, they are crazy! I bought a little plastic aquarium bubble detector thingy for $5 that does the trick!! Thanks anyway.

Sleeping on things often results in new ideas! What if instead of a vertical pole I went with Bobby M.'s hook idea (above) to hang the kegs from two horizontal rails that run between the wall of the house and the post on the corner of the porch. The ground area you see is all going to be...

Gotcha! I was thinking welding to the kegs! That makes good sense and would be much easier to fabricate. You should start having these made and sell them, hint hint :) Thanks.

Hey Bobby, I'm a frequent customer of yours and appreciate your innovative fittings! Did you mean L hook facing DOWN on the bottom and UP on the top, so that you put the top into a slot, lift and then drop the bottom one into a slot? It rests on the bottom and the top is prevented from pulling...

Wow, I thought somebody would have chimed in by now..............

Something like this that I found in another thread when searching, just with the electric keggles 'hanging off it. I've been looking at Superstrut and wondering whether that would work. My ceiling is about 10' 6" high, so I'd need to join a small piece to a 10 footer. I see they have a foot...

When I built the new house I made sure that I had a brew porch outside with the water and electric I need. So far all I've done is use my existing 1 tier rolling steel cart with my 3 keg all electric system. The cart was necessary when I needed to roll in and out of the garage, but not...
