    Texas FS: Plate chiller - 30 plates

    Hi, I am selling this 30 plate heat exchanger. I have had it since 2009 and brewed award winning beers with it. However, due to Texas heat, it just couldn't cut the mustard. I upgraded to a 40 plate after this one (recently sold, too), and I see no need to hang onto this one. As for...

    Before I toss this March 809 in the trash...

    I've had my troubles with pumps in the past, but since I hard plumbed my setup, I have had zero problems. My pump is located about 12" below my dip tube, with the pump motor mounted up, head mounted down. I recirc back into the mash tun at the end of the mash, and additionally after I am done...

    Texas Plate chiller- 40 plates, Dudadiesel, 1/2NPT ports

    FYI, for most of you out there, USPS flat rate shipping is the best option. The chiller should fit in the medium flat rate box, and that's 11.30 base rate to just about every US zip code.

    Texas Plate chiller- 40 plates, Dudadiesel, 1/2NPT ports

    I have this Dudadiesel plate chiller / heat exchanger for sale. I've had it about 18 months and it has worked great. I heat sanitize prior to each use, followed by iodophor. I employ a hop screen in my kettle, so no hop debris was forced through the chiller. Post use, I rinse with high...

    Plate Chiller Fail

    Sounds like you have clogged channels, or low flow. Do you pump the wort through the plate chiller? How do you clean the plate chiller? I recently upgraded from the 40 plate one you have to the 30 plate 12" from Duda, and wow, times really decreased. My cleaning consists of rinsing the...

    The Most Unsanitary Thing That's Ever Happened

    We had a guy at in our club do something similar. His keggle dip tube clogged and he had to reach in to unclog it. The beer was called Arm Brau after that... he is particularly hairy too, hopefully the yeast he pitched was strong. :)

    March 815 fail

    Yeah, don't overtighten fittings on the plastic heads. You aren't dealing with much pressure.

    First Crush with Monster Mill

    If you are having trouble starting the mill, chances are you have grain stuck between your "free" roller and the end plates. I spin my free roller backwards to clear any grain, then start the motor, then dump in the grain. I have a MM3-2.0 and I often wish I had a gear drive between the top...

    New way to control Pellet Hop gunk!

    I will post some experience that I've had with a similar device, albeit with larger mesh (30x30 .013 wire 37.5% open area). It worked great for both hop types at first, with very little hop material getting through. After quite a few uses though, the holes started to plug with beer stone...

    IMHO, this is wasted tax payer dollars that should be spent feeding the hungry, housing the poor and buying lexus sedans on EBT cards.

    Dogfish Pumpkin Clone Questions

    I haven't made the recipe you have here, but I do make a mean pumpkin ale once a year. I use a boatload of pumpkin in the mash, about 4lbs. Bake it at 350 for 30-45 mins at 350. I also include about 1lb in the boil. Whatever you do, make sure you put 1-1.5lbs of rice hulls prior to mash, or...

    Wlp833 and your experience. Help needed

    I used this yeast for an oktoberfest, 2 tubes in 5 gallons at 60F. It took over 2 days to show signs of activity. If you read the whitelabs site, quite a few folks mention this is a very slow yeast. You will probably be fine without adding more yeast, but it won't hurt either. Once it gets...

    Portable RO Water Filters

    SpectraPure has a 90GPD system without tank for $128. I recently replaced my RO membrane with one of their 90GPD membranes (from 75), and the water analysis came out better than the "stock" one from AirWaterIce.
