Does anyone out there know what the dead space is in a 20 gal MegaPot betwixt the false bottom and the kettle bottom? Thanks!

ahhh, nice. thats good. still don't know how to purge the coil though. only thing i can think of is after the bk has drained, boil a small volume of water like 2 gal and pump it through until it runs clear.

Wort from mash will be recirculated through copper coil bathing in the HLT. When sparging commences I will reconfigure the hoses so the sparge water is pumped through the coil, thus purging it of sweet wort. No problems. After the boil, the copper coil moves to MLT and is filled with ice. The...

kinda figured as much. i like my face where it is, thanks.

I want to make my own in-line oxygenation unit. Why the need for the o2 regulator? Can't you just turn the tank on and let it rock or would it just blow &$%$ apart? What is the recommended flow rate? Thx.

thanks... they seem hella expensive though. or is it just me? also, can't you just make a dip tube yourself out of copper tubing and a compresion fitting? why the need for SS?

When brewing 15 gal you would want 20 gal conicals or is 15 gal enough headspace for primary? Also, do ppl maybe ferment in a 20, then pump to a 15 to clarify? Any help would be great. Sorry if these questions are dumb...

Anyone know if there is a false bottom that fits this pot or if it has to be custom? Thanks.

Yeah, I'm going to go with 50'. No worries on the ice, a guy just gave my brew partner a commercial ice machine last week. Gotta use 'er for something!;)

I am about to do a set up with two banjos, myself. What did you end up using from the BIP to the burners?

Why is it necessary to have the valve there on the corner of the stand that kills the gas to all three burners? Couldn't you just kill it at the regulator if you needed to shut off all three? Also, if you light the first burner first, does it create problems lighting two and three? Is it...

I just came across a thread on here where two ppl mentiones, as an aside, that moving beer through vinyl tubing more than a foot or two will impart off flavors?!?! I have not experienced this, to my knowledge. Any input on this? Why does every homebrew suppplier sell vinyl tubing, then?

May be a stupid question, but.... the Banjo burner uses a high pressure regulator and this one (http://morebeer.com/view_product/17250//Burner_-_92000_BTU_for_Low_Pressure_Propane) on MoreBeer! uses a low pressure regulator. Can they be spliced off the same tank? I'm thinking they can- and yes...

holy crap. I'm surprised. What was the diameter of the 25'? Maybe I'll recirculate back to the boil kettle then move the line over to whirlpool kettle once the temp has dropped...

thanks for your help. do you thinik 25' feet of tubing submerged in ice water would be sufficient to bring it down to within 65 degrees?

by driving do you mean pushing the wort through the coil? Also, I had thought to have the second pump on the receving end of the coil also when pumping from the ice bath to a sanitized kettle. my thought was that it would draw the wort out faster to create a more aggresive whirlpool action. Is...

wouldnt it work fine though if the pump is before the tube? then the pump would just be pumping all the air out... or no?

Yeah I got my pump confused, thanks.

Just curious why everyone pays for a ball valve and holes to be drilled when couldn't you just have the pump suck the hot water out of a dip tube through a hole in the lid then distribute it over the mash for sparging? Magnetic pumps don't have to be gravity fed, right?

Cool. Thanks. P.S. Your profile pic does not offend me.
