Yea there are definitely cheaper ways of doing it, but since I was going to the trouble with the garage, I wanted to make it perfect. Renovations aside, this setup ended up costing me about $400 more than if I had just gone with the BB prefab 20 gal system.

Thanks! Oddly enough, I don't have a great picture of the whole space but here are some shots of the kegerator and milling station: I will get an all encompassing picture tonight.

This is why and how I went from 3V to eBIAB. Maybe it will help someone else if they make the same decision. TL;DR? Pics at the end. Pt1: The System: A few years ago I bought a B3 Tippydump system off Craigslist. I liked the rig but it would take 6-7 hours for brew and cleanup even with...

I actually did use a spider but i use the muslin bags because I feel they get better circulation and I have a perforated copper tube inside the bag that recirculates the wort during the end of the boil. That particular batch of hops is very dusty so probably 70% of the matter got through the...

To your point about running the pump full bore... that was causing me some issues with my first few brews as well. I use a basket and the grains were getting compacted way too tight on the bottom to the point that it cavitated under the basket and the element had some scorching on it...

1.6 gal of trub/chiller loss seems excessive, though I can't comment exactly to the BB since my system was DIY and i just use the controller. I am getting about .5 gal of loss per batch. As for the software, I just got the cheap fire (as you can tell from the previous post). Last night i...

Edit... figured it out. Apologies if I missed this, but is there a way to send an .stp file from a computer to the Fire tablet? I tried with bluetooth but it failed... would love to be able to use Snicklefritz's generator to make profiles but struggling to get the file from my comp to the...

Ordered the fire tonight. I heard some other user say some not great things about the stock tablet that comes with the system. Maybe the ten incher is different.

Sounds like the Kindle Fire might be the way to go for me. Anyone else on here use one with good results? Anyone else have issues with it?

I think it depends. The setup I posted above has been working just fine. The boiling wort bubbles up right into the bag and the recirc at the end makes sure it's getting plenty agitated for late boil and post boil additions.

I know this thread is a bit dated but I finally got around to finishing my setup and taking some pics. Here is what I'm using on my electric biab setup as a hop spider. It has been working well so far. Just gotta adjust the bad to make sure it gets close to the element but not touching. This...

I've been using an iPad 2 with the app and it has been horrendous. Crashes constantly and is insufferably slow. I ended up manually brewing with it for most of tonight's brew. I'm sure it's just a function of the hardware being dated. Anyone have a recommendation on a decent tablet that's...

I do not remove the tubing from the cam locks. I'll probably do a more thorough cleaning every so often but every piece of wort tubing on the system has boiling wort recirculated through it before flameout and hot pbw recircd through after. I am not sure what the minimum batch size is but 5...

I just wanted to be able to easily remove most of them for cleaning. I ended short a few connectors so just used tc to barbs that I had on hand to finish it off. I only have to remove one hose clamp and the rest are cam
