Check the last sentence in my quoted post above. I’m sure you can tell the difference between 2 liters versus 12 ounces per bottle right? :drunk:

67.628 oz > 12 oz

Now that’s an idea.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I could certainly tie a bag of marbles down there and pull them out with the basket. I hear the new kettle suggestions. It’s a little more than $70 with a bunch of soldered on fittings though. In the short term I’ll just make larger batches and dump part of...

Not magical, but physical. 3 gallon kegs

Eh, it might be a terrible idea but it isn’t because it’s a pipe bomb. A temp rise from 70 to 170F will be well below the working pressure of CPVC. If it were filled completely with water it may crack the CPVC but water has considerably less energy than a burning propellant in a pipe bomb.

That would solve the problem but I’m recirculating so I can do automated step mashes

When I built this system someone here said it would be too big for 3g finished batches, my math said otherwise so I went with it. I wanted the extra room for larger batches if I felt like it and not worry about boilovers. It’s fine for lower gravity beers but last week I tried a 1.067 SG batch...

I don’t think it matters which way the heating element is rotated.

I think you are going to need a weldless fitting, I don’t expect an epoxy to hold against two metals heating and cooling next to each other. If your hole is too big for the weldless bulkhead and you can plug it with something, you could buy a stainless lid and then solder a TC fitting to that...

What model of regulator do you have?

I would like to get a secondary regulator for bitters and such. Is there a minimum pressure difference required between the secondary and primary regulator? I'm not going to do something this small of a difference but can I have primary set for 12 psi and secondary for 11 psi?

I have an Insignia kegerator that I put a coffin top on to make it a 4 tap kegerator. Last week I had some bottles sitting on the floor and they were freezing so I put a small bottle of liquor in there so I could measure temps. I was sitting around 20F with the dial set to 4.3 out of 5. So I...

Sold

I don't have a GF but a very similar home built system (I wanted more watts to save time), space or money were not the deciding factor. Simplicity, time, ease of setup and clean up were the biggest deciding factors.

I’m doing recirculating eBIAB in a steamer basket with a Wilser bag. During my first attempt at recirculating eBIAB I found that mash temperatures weren’t even and were about 3 degrees less than the output wort temp. I think the wort was bypassing the mash and going around the edges of the bag...

I ordered a scoby on Amazon and am planning on starting kombucha this week. What is the normal bottle cleaning regimen? For beer I fine rinsing bottles immediately after use and then sanitizing in my dishwasher before use works well. I was thinking because these are basically sour...

Hoffman A16N126 enclosure for sale, like new. I was planning on a HERMs system but settled on a simpler eBIAB system and didn't need a panel this large. 16x12x6 (HxWxD) 16-3/16 x 12-3/8 x 6-3/16 actual including door Price is $30 and I'd prefer not to ship as I don't have packaging for it. I...

I use that brewersfriend brix to fg calculator and I find it accurate enough for my purposes. I never use my hydrometer anymore.
