Thank you for this "I would do it differently" response.

Thanks again, @Bobby_M. Since the keg has that hefty wall, would you still suggest a 40mm initial hole for the 2" pull through or do you think 42 or 44mm would possibly work better?

@Bobby_M, as always a gentleman and a scholar. I'll definitely look up the process of silver brazing. I know what I am attempting goes against your better judgement/advice, but do you have any feelings on whether I should try to do a drop-in vs. manually dimpling?

Hello all, I want to solder in a 2" TC element port and a 4" TC cleaning port into my 15 gallon sanke keg. I have two areas of question/concern. 1. I am going to buy and use the 2" TC pull through tool from BrewHardware to install the 2" element port via silver soldering. I've not drilled or...

I know this is a few years old, but I was also considering a full kettle hop basket. Do you still use this and any feedback on the boil strength with the basket installed?

Defenestration! Congrats on the book

Thanks, I had already seen that one, but did not seem close enough as the base grains did not even include the puffed wheat which is actually listed on the side of the can. As for what @Dr_Jeff pointed me to, it was just a google search that I've made myself many times. I did find a recipe in...

Thanks, I actually did email them nearly verbatim what I posted here. With the company now being owned by Heineken, I don't hold out a lot of hope that they'll let loose with any information. Hopefully they do have some grass roots left and decide to throw me a bone.

I'm a loyal Lagunitas fan, I've been drinking their beer ever since they were just a barely known small-town norcal brewery. A few years ago, they released their first canned beer, 12th of Never. It was a magical, majestic, delicious beer that was a perpetual occupant of my refrigerator for...

I had one more idea on this. What if I combined a small portion of the nuruk and the equivalent amount of water in a sterilized jar and heated it up to about 150F to kill the yeast, cooled it down to fermenting temp then added the rice. I would keep this sealed and at fermenting temp for the...

It’s a beautiful panel, wish I had a current use for it. I’m a member of the Homebrew Yard Sale Facebook group which is a really good resource for buying and selling brewing equipment. You might want to check it out and try selling it there.

At the hazard of unduly resuscitating a possibly dead thread, I've just begun (first batch just today) brewing makgeolli. The question regarding calculating ABV for this product reared its ugly head when I realized the saccharification happens at the same time the fermentation occurs. I do...

That’s a great find! I ended up getting one of these, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2WI65Y/, instead. One of the few 2” TC elements (at the time) and the price for the whole thing is about the same price as just the stand-alone element enclosure from most other places. You can get it for about...

I have an 8qt instant pot and I’ve been thinking about this very same thing. @carvetop, I’ve got a few questions for you regarding your technique. You said when you mashed you heated the water then entered keep warm mode, is there a reason you didn’t just keep it in the “on” mode at the desired...

I second that. Looking for a high efficiency replacement for my 2 tap kegorator and I think perhaps a 3.5/3.6 cu ft freezer with a collar would possibly be perfect. If anyone has one and could provide the specs, I’d be indebted to you.

I’ll definitely look for that. Thanks for the tip.

I dig it. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks again for your helpful input and information.

Aww shucks, you’re just saying that. I figure if you’re going to do it, do it big. After all, brewing is my dream hobby. Only limited by time and money.

As an update, I have a theory and build write up on my site for my “Fermentation Spinner” https://onemanssite.wordpress.com/2018/03/12/the-fermentation-spinner/

@SanPancho, I appreciate your support and understanding. Not sure why these discussions seem to get so incendiary... we’re making beer here, folks.
