    What system would you buy/build with $2000?

    Assuming it had to be very compact and "pretty"..? The reason I ask is because I am rebuilding my cobbled together 3 vessel single tier system of keggles/coolers its in shambles as we moved. I want to go all electric. So heres why I ask: I showed my wife the video of the Speidel...

    Anyone use the 82qt Bayou Kettle and Steamer with element?

    Thanks all. After looking at it up close...the inside was all scratched up pretty bad so I shipped it back. I think the basket shredded it up during transit. Anyhow...I dont think I need the basket based on some of the feedback. Thanks all. -JD

    Anyone use the 82qt Bayou Kettle and Steamer with element?

    I just took posession of a shiny new 82qt bayou classics ss kettle with steamer basket with the intention of putting a 5500w element in it and making it an electric biab w/basket type of kettle. After looking at it though...it looks like the basket is a snug fit height wise and would stick up...

    Looking for some guidance on my where to take my new rig?

    Hi All, I was hoping to get some opinions and thoughts around building an electric brewery to help steer me in a direction. Heres some quick background for context: I've been brewing off and on for the better part of 10 years. Lately I have been on a giant OFF cycle as we moved a year...

    Help me identify my 240v plug?

    Motobrewer you are scaring me off a little... I am a diy person for sure..but not an electrical guru by any means. I did build this little controller box to automate my bbq pit...which is very close to the same concept as using it to regulate temps in the kettle. This ones outfitted with a...

    Help me identify my 240v plug?

    Unfortunately I dont have a multimeter. I'll have to plan on getting one as part of the electric build out for sure. The one helpful thing to note though is all the plugs are numbered and labeled at the panel. So #1 maps to the big 50A plug that maps to the 2nd 60A dual-pole breaker from the...

    Help me identify my 240v plug?

    Hi All, I am really hoping to convert my brewery to electric. I moved this year and my brewery is in total shambles... My garage is outfitted with quite the power though. The previous owner had a metal lathe, welders and car lift plugged in. I know essentially nothing about electricity...

    Any Square Fermentor Options besides vittles vaults?

    I started thinking...I wonder if a stainless trash can may work? The lid would have to be fabricated, maybe a piece of plexiglass or even a bit more ghetto with saran wrap on the top secured on the sides with a big rubber band or bungee, etc. Thoughts? Thanks, JD

    Any Square Fermentor Options besides vittles vaults?

    Hi All, I recently acquired a little wine fridge with the plans of getting the 13gal vittles vault for doing 10 gal batches and fitting it nicely in the wine fridge for fermenting. When doing some research on the vittles vaults I found out they are a pain in the neck because the gamma seal...

    Need Advice: How to scale down my brew rig?

    Thanks for those links, they look very intruiging. Something about the single vessel with a SS basket makes it feel more "real deal" than the bag setup. That maybe just the gearhead talking though as i assume it serves the same purpose. I'm wondering where you get a fine mesh ss screen to...

    Need Advice: How to scale down my brew rig?

    Thanks Coldies. I'm really on the fence about what to do. I'm a little nervous to go from a full blown AG rig that I spent a small fortune on building over the years to basically a turkey fryer pot and a mesh bag. I love the idea of saving space and the simplicity...I'm just scared that a...

    Need Advice: How to scale down my brew rig?

    Thanks. I'll have to check out the counter brutus. I'm not really looking to go stovetop or anything that drastic. I would like to keep things in the garage or brew on the patio still, I just need to be able to store it easily and much more compact than a 4' single tier rack with 3 monster...

    Need Advice: How to scale down my brew rig?

I went from a 3 car garage huge backyard to a 2 car garage very small yard...nicer neighborhood, better schools for the kids...I took one for the team on...
