I got the wine rack from my LHBS, it was just a pine rack and I stained it dark walnut. Here is the link if it ever gets available again http://ebrew.com/product3899.html Also if you ever do get one I highly recommend gluing all the joints, it is very weak if you do not

So haven't updated in a while, things have been really crazy. Got married changed jobs a few times. Life hit the fast lane. I got a few pictures of the progress. I got my floor in and got some furniture. It's a little crowded but it has to double as my office. The large black cabinet opens up...

So I built a counter flow chiller, one issue I have always had with the normal way is the refrigeration coil is so thin I know I would break it before to long. I instead used a reducer like normal but soldered it on the inside line as well as on the outside to the outer coil to support it. I...

I had a 1" nut laying around and it wouldn't thread on. No go on the element, I found a nut that woulda worked but then if I ever had to replace it I would have to find one. Swing and a miss !

Looks like it's a bust. Nowhere sells a 1-3/8 pipe jamb nut.

So got a little info on the element. It's one made for polymer tanks. It's a 1 3/8 diameter threads though. Found it on amazon for 50 bucks. Says it's Amalloy has anyone heard of this metal...

Found these foldback 4500watt 240v elements for $5 a pop at the re-store. Any reason these won't work for a HLT? Thanks.

So I am slowly upgrading my equipment. I am still going to do my boil with a gas fired propane burner, however i am going electric on my Mash so I can control it better. I was initially going to build a recirculating heating coil like built in this thread...

Which threads are in your kettle Pipe or Compression. Pipe threads are tapered and compression are strait. They will not interchange. There was a really good article I think on here that I read that showed the difference. I tried to find it and couldn't

I think most of the pressure comes from the co2 pressure inside the keg, I know when I put my lid on I actually center it without even locking it down and hit it with 20 or so psi to seat the gasket. once I have done that its hard as heck to get the lid back off. When I use gelatin to clear I...

Finally got an update. Got paint done which took forever, also got my taps done. I figured out a really cool idea. I found out that Lowes sells half barrel whiskey barrels to be used as planters for 30 bucks. I bought one and sawed off the bottom and mounted my taps to that. I am going to use an...

got the pool table almost set up today, just waiting on the new felt to come in. paint goes up tonight, more photos to come.

Well a little update, one I am ashamed to admit to, I have 2 dewalt drills, one I generally keep as a driver and one for drilling, the one i use as a screwdriver decided the chuck needed to break so I went to grab my other one and couldn't find it. Finally after hours of searching my gut feeling...

there is no drain that I could tap into anywhere near that room so I had to make due, I had a plan to put a drain in, I think its called a sink drain, basically just a water only drain that leads out into the yard but I decided against it just because of the extra work (and cost) involved

honestly I used dry notty in all my beers like this, because its a dry yeast, as long as its fresh, it has a huge cell count so no need for a started and it gets to work right away, and finishes fast. great when you want to turn one around real quick
