    Fermentation temp control

    I make only ales so don't need temp control below 60F. I have a 2-way controller (controls both heating and cooling). Heating is accomplished through a silicone heating element strapped to the outside of the fermenter.. Cooling is by a small stainless coil inside the fermenter. When cooling...

    As I said, I'll be happy to provide a refund if not happy with the quality.

    Ohio Reinforced Silicone Tubing

    Agree. If you want the blue stripe and labeling on the tubing, then pay 750 bucks for 25 feet. No one says you have to buy it.

    Ohio Reinforced Silicone Tubing

    The tubing is made by HelixMark, but it's for an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) application, meaning that HelixMark manufactures lots of it for another manufacturer. It's not labeled as HelixMark and it doesn't have any markings since it's made for another company, but it is made by...

    Teflon Brewing Pump

    My compressor is rated for 10 CFM at 90 psi. I usually run the pump at about 60 psi and the compressor cycles about every 5 minutes. There is an air usage chart in the manual for the pump: http://www.wildenpump.com/files/products/P025_ORG_PLS_EOM_04.pdf For "normal" use the pump needs...

    Teflon Brewing Pump

    I'm selling a lightly used Wilden diaphragm pump. It's a P.025 model that I bought new with all Teflon wetted parts. The pump can handle 220F, which is higher than boiling wort. Runs on a compressed air so no worries about getting it wet. I have a portable air compressor which is enough to...

    Conical Temperature Control?

    Here are a few pictures... The fermenter is a Sabco select sankey that I ordered without the cap and spear (at a significant savings). I bent and silver soldered the 3/8 stainless tubing through the sanitary cap (ordered from GW Kent) and added Swagelok fittings to the ends. The other...

    Conical Temperature Control?

    I made a 6' immersion coil using 3/8" stainless and silver soldered it through the 4" sanitary cap on my fermenter, which is a Sabco keg unit. I run well water (variable temp during the year but always under 60F) through the coil, controlled with a Ranco and solenoid valve. For heating I use a...

    Label Removal Thread

    250F should work just fine. Usually everything comes off cleanly, but every now and then some of the label adhesive stays on the bottle. paint thinner or goo gone takes it off.

    Label Removal Thread

    The Brooklyn Brewery Belgian-style bottle laminated labels used to give me fits. None of the soaking methods worked so I resorted to using utility razor blades to scrape them off. Took forever for each one... Then I tried an experiment by heating the labels, and to my surprise they peeled...
