    Epic fail soldering stainless flanges, can it be salvaged?

    Try number two went much better. Sanded better, used way more flux, used propane and less direct heat. Cleaned up with a scotch brite pad and BKF. Tested and NO LEAKS!!!!!!!!!! During wet run.

    Epic fail soldering stainless flanges, can it be salvaged?

    Thanks for the help. Cleaned up with BKF, elbow grease and 3m pad. Already sanded the areas, may give it a quick sand again before I start. Just need to find more solder. Hopefully the local hardware store will have some. If not it a 35mile one way trip to the welding shop, which may just go...

    Epic fail soldering stainless flanges, can it be salvaged?

    Yes I put flux on both faces, then after clamping put more flux. I sanded the hell out of them both with my plumbing soldering Emory paper. Possibly soap residue and to much heat. I'm using my plumbing benzomatic with mapp gas, may switch to propane for run number 2. It's going to be chore...

    Epic fail soldering stainless flanges, can it be salvaged?

    So I've practiced soldering stainless numerous times thought I had it down. So I ordered the radius flange 1.5in TC from brewhardware. Watched their videos numerous times on installing the TC flanges. Gave everything a good sanding, cleaned with soap/water, then cleaned with acetone. Got out...

    Texas FS: TX Complete BrewBoss System w/chugger and 16gal kettle

    Going to do more with the Arduino Ardbir system I built. Downsizing my whole operation, going to 1-3gal for experimental/different brews and 5 gal for my "house" beers. That way I can brew more but less to drink. Going from 6 taps keezer to 3, etc etc. I just got tired of all the...

    Jaded Hydra's tubing?

    The inlet and outlet are 1/2in NPT male. As far as footage of copper I have no idea. I'd say maybe 15-20ft of 3/8 copper for each coil, 3 coils, 40-60ft of copper would be my guess.

    I'd like to sell it as a whole if possible, can you give it a few more days see what happens? After a few more days I'll consider parting it all out.

    Help me fix/regain trust in my ebiab!

    In a dual 120v build I did, I made the same mistake on aligning the elements. Not a huge issue, I just CAREFULLY added a slight bend to them then they both fit. Sorry just realized someone beat me to the comment.

    Help me fix/regain trust in my ebiab!

    Ditto what they said. Replace PVC with brass or stainless steel, valve on output of pump, replace your elements with ULWD ones. Also what crush size are you using on your grains? I had issues with a stuck mash like your taking about crush size or rice hulls will make a huge difference. I am...
