Thanks much for the Jose. Very good points. I'll have to decide on yeast harvesting I guess. Buying yeast for each brew hasn't been a big expense comparatively, though I do have to ship yeast here so there would be advantages to reuse. I've read that the Delta cooling coils are a bit small for...

Of course I should be delineating my goals, at least in my head. One is the desire to move away from plastic as a concept. Not that it will help on the intake of microplastics as they are everywhere and ubiquitous, but it is in my head. Ease of cleaning certainly. For something in the shape...

I was thinking of going the keg route earlier. Was going to solder in a 4" tri-clamp ferrule on the smooth bottom of the keg (the top has awkward contours on the kegs I have) and use the 1.5" opening on the bottom as a drain. This video gave me confidence in soldering that big a ferrule.. I've...

Thanks for the data points! Love it! Curious why you chose to go to the conical .. just ease of doing various things I suppose? And lucky guy being able to source directly from Delta or whatever vendor. I was having 50 lb bags of grain shipped, but haven't priced it lately. Postal prices have...

Do you rack to another keg for dispensing? Or let it stay..

In my youtube searches, I have seen that option. The best thing about one of those is easier to pick up and dump for cleaning into my too small sink than the bucket/conicals would be - hence the desire for bottom drain on those. Assume you could figure out a thermowell for controlling temps...

I love hearing how folks use these things. Thanks for the good info!

I'll give it a try on Craigslist.. quit FB so a no-go there. If I can decide on a fermenter, I might still just try air cargo if no other shipping arrangement works. But it would be up to whomever sells on Craigslist if they would want to ship it to me. Only brewers in Nome I know are using the...

Anvil won't ship here either. I suppose I could give the address to a cargo plane like Alaska Air cargo in Sea-Tac. That might work if I talk to a human at the vendors. Cargo rate might not be much higher than USPS. UPS is generally out of the ball park. Although Amazon does ship items here for...

oops. Thanks. https://www.deltabrewingsystems.com/collections/fermentation/products/the-fermtank-8-gallon-tri-clamp

I'm currently using a Speidel 30L (have the 10 gallon one too but never used it) and though it works fine, it always smells like the last batch, despite soaking in cleaning solutions. Not sure that matters, but seems like it could. Wanting to get away from plastic, too. So this particular 8...

Ah shucks.. thanks! Pretty crude mount.. basically just a wood cradle with strap, and a bolt in the back that goes thru a piece of copper pipe (to resist the torque) and the table top. I cover it with a wood box to give me a working surface and protect against anything untoward, not like it is...

Nope. Now I remember reading somewhere about doing that after forgetting about it.. I'll give it a try.. seems easy enough. Thanks.

I've noticed a lot of dust collects under my table when milling - I try to brush it into the bucket after milling but it is a bit of a mess and hassle. I needs me a chute.. keep thinking up excuses to buy a 3-d printer. Suppose I could fashion one out of tin or wood.

Thanks! Still works just fine. I had a little 2-way toggle switch I got from somewhere (for forward and reverse) and made a little aluminum plate for its mount. So I guess manually wired it. No remote (no need for me). Used a cord for plugging it into a wall socket when I'm using it. Has a...

Curious if you do 5 gallon batches in it. I am wondering about if too much head space is an issue. I had started to rig up a 15 gallon keg but generally do 6 gallons or less into the fermenter. Was thinking I would just use the top as a drain and solder in a 4" tri-clover on the smooth bottom of...

Have someone interested in getting started in brewing and I have the electrified keg (30 amp element) with soldered valve, temp probe, plus 30amp cord. This is in Nome Alaska, so wouldn't be worth it to ship out. Also have a home made rims tube with 120 v element. Copper pipe and quick...

MMM, waffles with whole wheat flour and some spent grains.. bilberries, real maple syrup, cut up almonds.. a bit of yogurt with the berries..

Thanks
