Ya like that..... ;) It was a special one for the board. My friend found a similar motor to what I bought above... The specs are very similar. http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2232010321224554&item=5-1098&catname= * Speed 177.7 RPM * Voltage 115 AC * Amperage 1.9 Amps *...

Sort of what I was thinking but when sipping a number of pints, the DIY gets a tad unclear at times... Thanks,

I barley get any dust on the motor or top of the unit at all. I guess some updated pics are in order.

Very cool but I have a couple questions... First if this is the lid cut from the keg, I'm a little unclear how it's wider than the opening... maybe I've tossed a few too many back.. Second, does the seal matter that much? I use buckets and sometimes leave the lid on loosely for the...

Noirmally I'd agree but unless you do your homework and spec your needs upfront.... The motor spins at 173 RPM. Plans obtained at TastyBrew here. I bought the motor at http://www.electronicsurplus.com McMaster Carr parts: 1 Each 6408K133 Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Hub 3/8"...

As I move from the valley of whole hops to using more pellets..... I have been playing with hop bags and have been intrigued by this base design... I have one question.... For those who use Immersion Chillers how do you handle putting the chiller in at the 15 min mark? (Note Last 3...

When I FWH I use anything that is going to give me a wonderful flavor.... so staying with low alpha acid hops is NOT going to happen... For bittering I still stick with Magnum for a base level bitterness.

Can you say Sham-Wow! I feel for you...

What I did earlier this year.... Brewed 10 gallons APA and hopped with magnum at 60 min for get 25 IBUs just to ensure there was something there and remain drinkable.... just in case. I took 4 cps and froze it in a tupper ware container. Once the ferment was complete or maybe somewhere...

Great thread.... some people need to relax a little. I fell into the hobby over 5 yrs ago. I pride myself for not spending a fortune but I never tracked my total costs. But I'd guesstimate the hardware cost is under $2K. I have several house ales that I produce for under $15 per 10...

I do the exact same thing here.... except I don't just toss it every 3 months... I will top it up once or twice with a fresh gallon of distilled water and star san. I also keep a spray bottle handy and spritz the bucket insides, this stretches it's use considerably. With tap water my...

+1.060 to the keg lube. Use it sparingly if you can. Can you swap the lid with another keg to see if the leak follows the lid?

A local brew pub gave it to a fellow club member and it found its way to me... I've got it all rinsed out. I've put 3 gal of hot water with Oxyclean and tsp. I'll do it again tomorrow and flip it to soak the inside of the sanke connector.
