here is an updated image with the switches, pumps and casters mounted up. i cut 6" off the legs to accommodate the casters, i'm not very tall :P

i know this is the RIMS for Dummies thread, so its okay to ask this... Whats the difference between HD and LD elements? is there a way i can tell by looking other than it saying so?

My local home depot has 1500W 120v elements for under $10.

Thought I'd share what I came up with: Need to figure out what i'm going to do with the pumps. they will be too low if i mount them with the heads verticle. I think i'm going to make some kind of box that will keep them dry and elevate them.

is oxyclean, just oxyclean? i got some stuff from costco for my laundry and it seems like its for that. could i use it for brewing too?

My Centennial is growing very rapidly and has a second shoot popping up. The main bine is 2 ft long. My Cascade on the other hand is only 2" long at best, but has like 5 shoots. Should I trim a couple back? How many bines are optimal and how far do i trim them back? Thanks for all the great...

For those of you who add irish moss, do you add it into the strainer bag or outside of it. I just got all the stuff to put this together. I'm really excited to not be fishing hops out of my CPC QDs :D

Good luck! I'm going to love watching the progress on this.

i'd like to see your setup. this seems like a good starting point for those of us who may not have access to a welder.

why don't people want to keep the whole freezer? better control? condensation? space?

thank you everyone, this thread has been very helpful and informative. i'm looking into using this setup and possibly adding the brewtroller. i would love to get as automated as possible.

I actually painted the surface of mine with chalkboard paint...you could probably use the same stuff on a nice piece of fiberboard. I sanded mine down with some fine grit paper after it dried.

I'm thinking of putting a ZigBee module on it, but right now i'll just have a spare laptop hooked up.

here is a little project I've been working on: Arduino Microcontroller controlling a Sparkfun SerLCD kit and a Sparkfun Relay kit. I'll post the source for the controller once I put some more polish on it. This will keep my Keezer in the proper zone for serving much like a Johnson...

so here is what i've got so far: that tower will get one more tap and there is another tower that is going to get installed once i get the shanks.

nearest i can find is on here: Co2 & Nitrogen Regulators & Parts i have a Cornelius regulator if that matters.

nice find! my LHBS only wants $35 reconditioned, guess that's one benefit of living here :P

I got a gauge and regulator to add on to my current regulator (which has a plug in the HP side) and i found out they are right hand thread and my current regulator. So basically i need a short section of brass tube that has right hand threading on one side and left hand threading on the other...

Very cool! What did you store all the grain in?

I checked on mine today and it should be lower... 2/14/9 OG: 1.086 2/18/9 it is at 1.030 the recipie calls for it to be at 1.070 OG and end up at 1.014-1.018. I gave it a stir and will let it sit for a couple more days, but there is no more lock activity. Think this one is done?
