If all you are going to be doing is move ice water you could buy a cheap pond or immersion pump. Wouldn't need to be food grade or high temp. Cheaper option.

I did precisely that a while back cause it was the only ingredients I had on hand and I had a good day to brew. 95% pilsner and 5%ish of victory. I don't know what you should call it but I remember it was really good. Take it for what it's worth though, I'm a fan of victory. To me, a little...

About 10 minutes for a 10 gallon batch today, so yeah probably 15 mins for for a half barrel.

I whirlpool without going through the PC, to accomplish the same points you mention. In my mind going through the PC to whirlpool defeats the purrpose since you'll probably clog the PC before you get the muck to drop into a cone. I'm just starting to boil. When I hook mine up I'll snap some...

It's a Duda Diesel B3-36A 40 plate. The surface area is 1.37m². I put triclamps on it so it's easy to take off the rig and toss in the oven. I think it takes about 10 to 15 minutes or so. I'm brewing right now so I'll time it and report back.

I bake my plate chiller to sanitize it. When it's time to cool, I fill my MLT with ice and water and hook this up to the water in on my PC. I run the wort through a trub filter, which I probably don't need since I whirlpool but I have it so I use it. I cool in a single pass by monitoring the...

In, please.

Gino passed away yesterday. He was a good dog.

Yeah, that's why I excluded the coupler as the cause. I was cleaning kegs and tried to replicate this. I don't have any type S kegs so I can't speak to that, but I was able to get a similar result two ways. 1. Retainer clip missing 2. Missing large oring on spear. Here is a pic of the two in...

Sounds like a missing/damaged seal to me. I know you said you checked the seals on the coupler but is the spear seal still there and intact?

As far as #5 and not using thermometers or such, I tried something similar in a primative beer experiment while back. Not exactly what you're aiming for, I used barley that I malted, but definitely along the lines of the eyeballing it part. I found that I was actually decent anlt guessing temps...

It's been a tough week for Gino. On the plus side it's been 13 months since he got diagnosed with cancer when they gave him 2 months to live, but it seems like it's starting to catch up with him. His back legs have stopped working entirely and his tumor is about 6 inches in diameter on his head...

Is the keg frozen?

Brewmation used to sell a setup what used sinks as the vessels. Might give you a starting point to find some stuff on it.

I use an air compressor. That's it.

I can't help with the source of the flavor but I would add that if it is DMS and if you keg, you can try scrubbing it with CO2. I've successfully used this in the past. Hook up CO2 to beverage out, open the vent and slowly pump CO2 through it. This won't work a miracle but if it's slight you...

In, thanks.

Good luck with that stuff, hopefully you'll be able to make it through all the hoops. On the sanke part of the post, you can remove the spear for cleaning or filling using a screwdriver to remove the ring. Just make sure to vent it first. If you are going to transfer beer in under pressure...

And the circle is now complete. We started this adventure with sewage and we end with sewage. It has been an amazing ride.
