Thanks, that would be useful. I'll take that lead and see what I can dig up as well.

Hi Scuba, I've been following your build as well. How did the 12 mesh work out?

Excellent point about the floating vs compacting! More to think about, but at some point I'll move forward with something.

I am thinking about using a electric keggle for BIAB. Like many, I'd prefer to use a stainless "bag" / basket instead of fabric. I can get my hands on a stainless 5 gallon pot for my basket. I may get two, cut and mate them, to make a taller basket. I would drill holes and cut slits in the...

Yeah, that's what I had in mind too. I can't seem to find something to match the size yet. But what's the fun in that? :) The sub $100 are a bit cheaply made anyways.

Hey, all. I decided to build a simple electric flower pot smoker. It's almost done. Here's a link to my Flickr set for the build: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nspeppers/sets/72157626649568300/ I decided to build it without a PID for temperature control, at least to see how well I can...

Any new feedback on this PID?

Thanks guys, I guess it's a unanimous decision! The only other reason I'd cut a keg like this would be for a MLT to reduce head space, which is what I was originally thinking of doing. Then I realised I should have a larger BK, and switched them around.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has ever cut a 15 gallon sankey key down to the 10 gallon mark, or anywhere lower than the skirt - clean in half. I'm building a small rig in my basement and only plan on doing 5 gallon batches. I have another 8 gallon vessel but I think I'll use it as my...

Thanks for all the replies. Good info here. I have a second ebay temp controller for this as well. There's a lot of mini fridges available here now too since college is out, or out soon.

Hi all, I'm planning a fermentation chamber. Are there any threads here about taking apart a mini fridge and using the compressor, coils, cooling lines, etc, to integrate into a ferm chamber build? There are tonnes of builds here just using the fridge as-is with the door off but I'd like to...

Hey mrbubbly thats what I'm doing too... probably solder some threaded rod to the tri clover to fasten the fb down to. Nice design with the slots and holes together.

Totally different profile with the hops especially. Maybe yours will be ok...

I had a similar thing happen in November to a brown ale. My temps were about 85 on the outside of the carboy (sticky thermo). I've had this brew conditioning since then and I am finally about to dump it; too estery (even for a brown ale) and I think I also taste fusel alcohols.

Yes, we're dying to know. :) I see cider in my future and this of course looks interesting.

Thanks. I haven't contacted them but I think they are homebrewer friendly.

The latter diagram is like what I'm building. I have a 2-way manifold for carbing and 4-way for serving (soon to be 6-way). Hopefully I'll have time to hook it up tonight, will post a pic. -Rob

Thanks!

Hi, I just got a new single guage regulator from hopdawgs and wondering if I can just chain it downstream off a T connector from my primary regulator's low pressure port. I would have the primary low pressure set for carbing and my second regulator set ot a low pressure. I guess the real...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I will likely get the perlicks from hopdawgs.
