    Electric newb - venturing into a 30a HERMS

    Of course! The "thinking" part was basically 30a breaker vs Spa panel - there will definitely be GFCI. I can't imagine it'd be good to die from electric shock. :mug:

    Electric newb - venturing into a 30a HERMS

    So, the wife and I just moved into a new house (1904 construction, stone foundation), and I am interested in moving the brewing activities indoors into our basement. I currently have a single-tier converted-keg propane-fired stand, a single March 809 pump (I'm a batch sparger), and whirlpool...

    Ever find yourself picking a commercial beer based on what kind of bottles you need?

    Yup; I drank a lot of Grolsch right when I first started homebrewing.

    Hipsters heads will explode

    Meh, the real hipsters probably all know a bunch of cooler/smaller/more local joints anyway :) I personally really enjoy trying a variety of single origin coffees from the "third wave" local roaster type places. It's a lot like different beer styles; depending on origin, processing, roast...

    BNC Ph electrode suggestions?

    Hi everyone, I just dug a Markson 88 ph meter out of storage that I bought from our university surplus store back when I was in school. It doesn't have a probe, but has a BNC connection. Does anybody have suggestions on a decent probe? They seem to range from $10 - $300+, come in different...

    Shirron Ventmatic Faucet replacement parts

    Hi everyone, This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but does anybody know where I might find replacements parts for the original Shirron made Ventmatic faucets? I have a few that, after 8 years of non use, should have new seals, nylons washers, etc., and I can't find a supplier for the life of...

    Beer stores in Lansing

    +1 to everything here. Oade's is the best selection in Lansing without a doubt and both of the homebrew shops mentioned are pretty solid.

    Show us your sculpture or brew rig

    It's propane, so I just have a 1/2' MPT to 3/8" male flare fitting at the end of the black iron pipe run that hooks up to my propane tank/regulator. Easy as pie :ban:

    Need help mounting propane plumbing for Brewstand

    Aahhh, that's a good idea. Thanks :mug: BTW, it worked like a charm. IT doesn't need to be super rigid since it won't really be supporting the burners, and the rubber was enough to keep it in place. Thanks again for the suggestions guys.

    Need help mounting propane plumbing for Brewstand

    Thanks guys. I guess I should elaborate on things a bit. The plumbing itself is built/tested and ready to go, I just need a decent way to mount in on the frame in it's existing configuration if possible.

    Need help mounting propane plumbing for Brewstand

    Hi folks, I need some help getting the propane plumbing mounted to my Brewstand. Basically, I'm using black iron pipe and some 1" pieces of CSST for the plumbing, but I need some clamps or something to attach the B.I.P., which forms the bulk of the plumbing, to the brewstand itself. I've...

    Keg Repair

    I too am interested in other ideas. I have a 3 lb hand held sledge hammer that I tried to use to straighten out the skirts on my kegs and I really had to beat the crap out of them to get them to move at all, and they still aren't that great. That SS is tough stuff.

    LP = Normal propane

    Sure they do. At least that's what we used to use in college :ban:

    Copper Top Bar or Bottle Caps?

    I've never done a bar top, but here's a link to a thread that has some discussion about a pub table I made with a copper top. Copper Table Top Here's one on somebody that did a countertop. Copper Countertop Here's another thread with a bunch of info on tabletops and counters More...

    Brew Stand - Build yourself or get someone else to build?

    Yeah, I really dig it so far. I got a great deal on a refurbished unit, ~$530 to my door and it was pristine. Add the spare 20lb CO2 tank that I had laying around for shielding gas (sometimes it's good to be a brewer :ban:), and I was good to go. The brewstand is complete (no pics other than...
