Mine has a bottom plate that tights up to the seal by pulling the lid down onto the gasket. On yours it looks like someone over the years removed the bottom plate and threaded in a pressure relief valve.

Well, now that I've taken it apart. The o ring looks like a normal one that got flattened out. I also found the stamping on the footer. I think that's the plastic piece i need. Now i really wish i got both kegs!

I got lucky and found a 10 gallon keg. Now for the weird part! It has a screw on locking lid with a wing nut to tighten the seal. Not the normal leaver locker. The only markings are on the lid which says firestone four times. The body has no markings i can find just a serial or model...

I'd worry using the drill would scar up my mash tun. I like my stainless shine and scratch free. I can only imagen what that thing would do to plastic.

Looks awesome!

Save yourself the worry of what is on or in the wood paddle and just get the stainless steel one. Bayou Classic 42 in. Stainless Steel Stir Paddle-1042 - The Home Depot

Are you planning on recirculating it for a long period of time? I bought a cheap gallon pump sprayer. I unscrewed the spray tip and threaded on a corny keg post. I fill the sprayer with BLC and hot water, pump it up, connect the liquid fitting, open the tap, collect the first few ounces in a...

I went the stupid cheap route. I got a 14 gallon Chapman fermenter. I think I paid $109 for it. It's basically just stainless steel pot with a clamp down lid. After busting a glass carboy, I'll never use glass again. I wish it had more bells and whistles but it works.

So, what you are saying is I'm to hot!

I soaked the tip in near boiling water (ouch) and I still managed to split them. But then again, I've never had a delicate touch when in come to these things. How my Kezzer is set up, I've always ran 10ft of tubing. I haven't seen any difference in 10ft of 4mm over 5mm. Now you got me...

I've used the 4mm in the past. Really good tubing but my one issue with the 4mm is when you stretch it over the 1/4 barbs it likes to split. I split it a half dozen times before I got it on all my fittings. Small pain to pull the tubing off and cut the spit off then start over. However, I...

The biggest problem is the kettle itself. If we could only put the probe in the center of the bottom. Why not add a bottom drain too. Now that would be awesome! It would be protected by the heating element and pretty darn close to the heat source. Someone needs to build kettle stilts like...

I run my HLT and MLT probes in Ts right off the valves. Like Ganinr hinted at they are protected in the T. I've had to replace my boil probe twice from being lazy and stirring with a mash paddle. Bent probes still work but it bothers my OCD. I also think you get a better temp reading from...

I've seen people use a stainless steel scouring pad as a filter with pretty good results.

It's really good you used WD40. Overheating of PTFE generates fumes of highly toxic PFIB and poses a serious health hazard to the human respiratory tract. And from what I've read it doesn't take a lot of PTFE to kill you. The call it the Teflon Flu and it is no joke! It can cause serious...

My bad, I missed where you said "36" 1500 watt cartridge heater". So, I ran a few google searches and I can not find any 36" elements that are LWD or ULWD. The ones I looked are all HWD. Tell me more about the element. Where did you get it? What is the brand and specs on it?

First let me say you have longest tube I've ever seen! From what I can see in the pictures you have the element at the bottom of the RIMS tube with the inlet from a 90* elbow right above the element housing. I my opinion that is not a scorch proof RIMS setup. The void between the 90 and the...

My guess would be it come from processing steps of the grains. From harvesting to malting to bagging to milling all steps contain a lot of industrial process with lots of moving metal parts. Very easy for the combine at harvest or a conveyor roller to the malt floor or a shovel over concrete...

With a correct RIMS setup there is almost no risk of scorching. In my hundreds of hours of research, there are three issues that result scorching with a RIMS setup. First is using the wrong type of heating element. ULWD element is the only way to RIMS. Some use LWD and have not had scorching...
