I feel your pain weather here in Indy has been odd this spring, we went from frigid to 80's to 34 for a low and 68 for a high, been all over the place. To make matters worse the only real place I could plant them was on the west side of the house with twine to the eaves 20' up and I've been...

I concur with the others I planted mine (Mt. Hood) around July 4th last year just to establish "some" root system. I got about 6 ft of growth in the short time they had to grow and feel like it gave them a good head start for this year. Now if mother nature would just cooperate and stop dropping...

Same fridge but only needed to put 2 cornies and a 5# CO2 so not quite the mod that you did Only changes since these (other than use) is the tap handles, my parents have a wood lathe and had a piece of cherry from a tree knocked down during Katrina so they turn some handles for me.

Corrosion Resistance Grade 409 resists atmospheric and exhaust gas corrosion. A light surface rust will form in most atmospheres; this rust ******* further corrosion but makes the surface undesirable for decorative applications. The corrosion resistance is about the same as that of 3CR12 and...

May or may not matter to you depending on what you intend to do with it but that's 400 series stainless=has carbon=will rust.

this is holding me up from building my brewstand

Corgi, that very well may be the case but I would think that could be adjusted out. If not I'll just do it the way everyone else does and be happy with that. Just some of the questions bouncing around my head as I ponder this build.

Each of my 3 kegs are going to have couplings with sight glasses and either a brewmometer or the TC for the PID so moving it really isnt an issue. With that said I will probably try it both ways and see which seems to work out better.

No, the PID would still control the SSR->heating element in the HLT but , I would pre-fill and recirculated the mash water to 165F or whatever I found nec. for dough in to acheive 150-155F after the room temp grains are added. Just so we are on the same page I haven't built this stand yet (still...

Thank you for the response. I understand that there will be a difference in temperature between the HLT and MLT but, if the TC is placed in the MLT and the mash is recirculated during the whole process wouldn't it (with the proper SouF and Hy settings) take the guesswork out temp control. As I...

OK, so I have what should be a fairly simple question. Of all the HERMS systems I've seen it seems that everyone places the TC for the PID temp. controller in the HLT is there some reason I'm missing that it isn't in the MLT in a constant recirc system? It would seem to me to make more sense to...

Got mine here Homebrewing, Beer Brewing, Wine Making, and Home Brewing Supplies last week I would assume they still have more.

Fridge is a GE model # SRM04DASCS sold at Sam's club for $139. Tested the cooling last night to make sure I hadn't cracked a line when bending the freezer section. With CO2 bottle and both kegs (empty) it got down to 25F with the probe wedged between the kegs about center of the fridge.

Yup CO2 is on the hump, I took the dremel to the shelf "brackets" (molded plastic the shelves slide into) because the 2 cornies would sort-of fit but was really tight. Also mounted the drip tray so all thats left is to tighten fittings, clean the kegs, run sanitizer, fill with beer and...

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posts here. I lurk alot but very rarely post (new and don't really have much to add). I decided after bottling my first 2 batches that I was done with that so I bought a kegging system and mini-fridge. Here are a couple of the in progress pics of my...

So you liked the brewers best american light ? Thats what is fermenting right now. I plan on doing a second brew this weekend as with as many people who know about this I have a feeling it wont be around long.

Been lurking for a little while figured I would say hi. I made my first 5 gal extract batch last weekend after doing extensive reading (John Palmer and this site) And am already planning my AG rig (got kegs lined up, working on a fridge for fermentation chamber, grain mill, ect). I work at a...
