I have more pics but the condenser and the evaporator aren't changing temps. They are both room temp

It's not getting cool.. I did the water test and it ran for 18 minutes but temp never changed. I don't think I nicked any lines so I'm not sure why it's not chilling. 8 gallons of water 570W dehumidifier (just under 2000 btu/hr) Start temp 64.6 Set temp 41 Not counting losses it should...

How are you checking your mash pH? Since you add a bunch of water after the mash as well you will also need a pH check pre boil as well to make sure nothing was thrown off. I would start with a traditional IPA water recipe (theres lots of info on HBT) and then tweak the SO4 till its at your...

I was on well water when I had my under the sink system so I can care less about my water bill since it didn't exist :p

tell you wife you need an under sink RO water system so you guys can use it for stuff around the house and to help replace buying bottled water. At $4 a case it will pay itself off in about 30 cases :P Then when shes not looking use it to slowly fill up jugs of water for brewing (it takes a...

at least you got to go :( Hopefully next time they are close to the Midwest ill be allowed to go.

LOL :ban:

Update: I reached out to Palmer and asked the same question. I copied his response in the image below:

I picked up a submersible pump from Harbor Freight for $15 (after teh 20% off coupon online) and it seems to work.

the cool zones would be for my speidel fermenters.

Those look pretty good. I saw that blichmann is releasing a jacket and stainless coil in the next three months so ill probably start saving for that and just use a discharge hose till then. I saved a lot of cash on that conical so i should have some left to make it look nice.. and still finish...

I'm working on a glycol chiller diy project also. Hopefully I can get cool zone jackets for them an then I won't have to need a bunch of refrigerators (edit: them meaning my Speidels)

Do you do biab? If so try the hot rod heat stick.. that's what I did.. I just stick a 1500W element in the mash directly to heat it.

Friend of mine at NHC asked the guys in the blichmann booth if they were going to put out an offering for cooling conicals. They said they were working on it and their prototypes used copper to which they didnt note any issues (they probably used a conical full of water is my guess). The...

I did email Blichmann customer support to see if they intend to release a cooling solution for their conicals... Maybe if enough people ask them they will look into it

Let me know how you do it, I'm in the exact same boat.. 14g blichmann with legs and casters... I tried building an internal copper coil but haven't tested it yet.

Don't forget to visit 😋 I don't think I've seen you face to face for like 8 years!

I agree here.. you may want to add some k-meta or campden tablet to get rid of chlorine and chloromine. It takes very little (1 tablet per 20g or 35mg of powder per gallon).. Just make sure to add a little calcium chloride, gypsum or both depending on your brew to get a min 50ppm Ca.. since...

i got the email too but its too late for me i bought a fermenator. Looks like a great product

Thanks for the link.. it looks like he already makes someting HERE but $130 plus shipping is out of my brewing budget at the moment. Maybe for my birthday or Christmas. (spent all my cash on the conical LOL) Im glad I am not the first person to think of using copper there is a thread here...
