I have a bayou 30 quart stainless kettle I want to put the 2250 watt in. The tri clamp one from brew hardware. I have the small solar 12 volt pump which should be fine for this size batch. I'll need to add two stainless valves with quick connects. one at the bottom for pickup and the other with...
Does that diy system work with a 120vac 2250 element? Figure start with a BIAB setup from my propane extract system before I really go all out with a 3 vessel herms with the electric brewery 30A panel.
When I did out the spacing for the 5-gallon Coca-Cola kegs which tend to be fatter than the Italy made ones, 12 on the bottom and 2 kegs on the compressor shelf. The remaining 2 taps I was planning on getting 1.75 gallon kegs for experimental small batch brews. Obviously there would be Taps as...
I know many alcoholic friends, and would love to start or join a brew club. Wife and I throw a nice BBQ around the 4th of July, we joke the popular beers ciders wine have more sweat (condensation) on the faucets.
If 3 gallon kegs were significantly cheaper than 5 gallons I'd do that, but they...
A bit hard to tell but what I have open is written on top of my keezer.
You can follow my open taplist at this link. Looks great on the Firestick TV behind the bar!

Thank you! I hope others will post theirs too! Im just glad to have finished mine. Almost 3 years in the making! JBs can get pricey to build and often the wood covers are not done at all, or are just display only. I wanted mine display and function! :-)
All done. Used some waterproof LEDs and a relay to change the leds when using the rinser! Custom graphic on the tap side, and a blackboard held by magnets to hide the slide channels with brushes ment for dropping the taps through for the JB.
Rinser is powered by a 1.1gpm diaphragm pump. It has...
I have a 4 tap setup with 50' stainless coils that are 5/16" ID per tap.
To serve at my planned 14PSI that means I need about 60ft in total from the kegs through the coils to the tap. Factoring in for a 3ft rise up to the table. Is it okay to use 5/16" ID line for liquid? I know its commonly...
Wanted to get a thread going to get some design ideas from others out there. I cheated a bit and bought a premade 4 tap JB with 50' stainless coils at 5/16" ID, shanks, and Krome faucets with handles already assembled. What I'm focused on now is the actual jockey box cover. Thats where the...
Thank you Day Trippr!
BUMP, can anyone weigh in on the multiple diameter beer line setup? Would I just be better off keeping the entire run of line from keg to coil to faucet at 5/16"? Seems like having a choke point at the beginning of the travel from the keg to the coil will cause a drop in...
Another question, should I get 5/16" ID line from the keg to the jockey box instead of 3/16" line? I figure I'd go 10 feet to give myself some slack. Let me know
True, good point. Then I suppose a quick disconnect straight to the stout faucet with a chilled keg is best then.
Thank you for all the advice. Now that I have the actual Jockey box, time to start outfitting it with some practical mods for a festival day. I'll make a new thread as I build it. :-)
Awesome, thats exactly what I have in my keezer actually! So maybe a separate single tap jockey box with a cold plate to accomplish a nitro stout setup for homw brew festivals and such?
Got 50ft SS coils at 5/16" ID. Figured about 12ft external lines heading up from keg to the box, calculated about 14PSI serving.
Using that same logic if I was to serve a stout on beer gas nitro at 30 PSI that puts the length of line in the neighborhood of 140 ft including the coil. Is that...
