Brewmoor, from what I have gathered maximizing the flow stems from the desire to whirlpool at the end of your boil. I have read here that restricting the flow can alter the results of the trub cone you get from whirlpooling. I have not personally confirmed any of this as I am in the building...

Hey Weirdboy, any luck finding those adapters? I think they are spendy if you can find them. I think you need to find high flow ones and I can't seem to find anything in stainless. I have found this...

Josh, you are a saint amongst homebrewers. thanks so much for your advice and answers. All is beginning to fall into place for me, just yesterday I met a local homebrewer that can weld Stainless, has a connection for cheap metal and is about to take the same step as me by building his first...

Quan, thanks so much for your history and practical advice. What you says makes much sense. And after reading my question again I begin to wonder how late I should be staying up or how much sleep I should be allowed to loose before I ask any more questions. LOL!!! I appreciate ya, thanks...

Hey any of you folks out there whirlpooling with one of these? Does it affect the formation of the trub cone? I am going to be building my chiller soon and like the looks of this design but want to recirc/whirlpool. What is the word rib cagers? Anyone whirlpooling do you still get a cone?

Howdy folks, quick question for the electrically impaired. I am beginning my build and like this design/set up with the auber/honeywell PID's and gas valves. I am sure that I can assemble this if I had all the parts in front of me, but have a purchasing question. What type of transformer would...

Ghart99, my thoughts exactly. sounds like many folks like the elbow 1) as a handle to push with and 2) to help avoid kinks in your tubing. 3) there isn't a ton off thread there to clamp on to. I think if you are careful with your tubing lengths you can avoid the kinks without an elbow and...

one more question, would the coupler side of this equation not have enough room to close the levers if you threaded it into a 3 pc ball valve?

Wow, this is amazing I was getting ready to drop near $400 on More Beer's SS Quick Disconnects and figured there had to be something cheaper. Why do you need the street elbow? Couldn't you just make a barb out of the threads on these camlocks? Or is there not enough to grab?

thanks for the vote of confidence gentlemen! It looks like you can get away with the smaller burners. I appreciate all of your input, happy brewing to all of you.

Hey SMAKUDWN, what quantities are your boiling? do you mean you have 15 gal converted kegs and you are boiling 10-12 gallon batches? how long does it take to get stuff up to boil? Thanks tons for your help here brother

It is not an SQ14, those have a 10" diameter, what I am inquiring about is the 6". But you are correct in that looks wise they appear to be identical. Yours is the high pressure 10" and I am curious about its little brother rated at about half the BTU's Any help would be great, thanks......

Amigos, I like many am in the planning phase of my brutus single tier and wondering about the 6" low pressure Banjo Burners. Anyone out there have any experience with them? I don't see much listed in the forums. They are rated to about 60K btu, so that means they likely burn more at...

So little giant gave me the standard "our pumps are not food grade and do not recommend them for that application" I ponied up and bought the 3-md-hc Catt22 you found the same place I did, www.plumbersurplus.com had the best price I could come up with after about a month of watching and searching.

Anyone put a few batches through their 2-md pump yet? wondering how they are holding up.

Hey anyone out there using the little giant 2-md pumps? I am building up a brutus 10 system and will be using an immersion/recirculating chiller. I am curious to hear from people who have used this 2-MD model as it is only rated to 150 F for liquid temps. I keep hearing that "really only...

Thanks beer thirty and trigger dog. I appreciate both your informational additions. For right now I have a two burner camp chef stove (one high one low pressure) and a second stand alone one burner eastman outdoors big kahuna burner ( high). Since it is what I have right now I will likely use...

Dude, Now that is my kind of wiring diagram. thanks for "throwing" that together. I am thinking your system is worthy of cloning for my purposes and budget. Wonderful information for me. This was the part of the Brutus I was most worried about and now it just doesn't seem that bad. Also...

So how are you liking it? And did i see your name on another thread about the brewtroller? I have been reading so many threads about building I am loosing track here ;-) I'd love to hear about the brewtroller if you have some experience. Thanks

I am just in the beginnings of Brutalizing my brewery. I have just moved across the country and had to split my old brewing set up with my brew-bro that I had bought everything with. I kept the SS conical and he kept the rest. Now that I have the chance to rebuild from square one I am looking...
