Apologies, hopefully the attached clarifies. This isn't a very elegant or clever solution but it worked largely with material on hand.

AC cools water in cooler which is pumped out and through a submerged copper coil in the black can with fermenter and then it comes back to cooler. Currently inkbird kicks on both ac and pump simultaneously. If your electric bill is high I'd look at your house itself (attic insulation...

I had this borderline junk a/c unit and decided to get the chiller conversion a try. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Figuring out how to easily get the chilled water around my random assortment of fermenters is much more difficult, I may end up with a full size trash can water bath...

I used 3/4 wood on front and sides with 2x on back. I used 3/16 underlayment board to cover inside of foam. I used half inch foam board because i had it, but doing over I'd pick whatever thickness matched the collar which was prob 1.5 inch.

Finished it up and waiting on everything to cool down.

Welp, in an effort to get it a little cleaner i'm going to rig this up to go through immediately through a wall to above a bar area in the basement. I started on the box tonight, still need to work on cover and junction w/ keezer. There will be a fan on the lower right that will hopefully pull...

Well done. I think it's important to list a bunch of model numbers etc so that similiar buyers can track down guidance. Was the 45° manifold a good deal? I've only seen them 90 one way or another.

This is what I have. Can I make a brew?

I just cold crashed with a cap from 62->40 (30L 5 gal batch) for a ~3 days (went out of town) and came back and the whole top had sucked down quite a bit, everything seems to be fine and i suspect it'll rebound but i was surprised nonetheless.

https://www.chicompany.net/beer-store/ball-pin-lock-kegs-parts/ball-lock-keg-parts/faucets-for-ball-lock-kegs/qd-adaptor-for-flow-control-faucets I ended up getting this.

Had the first pour of this today. I followed as closely as I could except I didn't dryhop at all, turned out very well. Thanks for the recipe.

Campden tablets sound like a good start, thanks fellas.

Haven't been brewing long but wanted to ask if someone who knows what they're talking about could check out my water report and see if there are any glaring problems. I have a lot to learn so I'm not worried about being perfect (and this water stuff is over my head at the moment) but if there's...

http://www.uscooler.com/refrigeration-sizing-estimate/ Could use that to get a ballpark. If it's full of wine it may take a while to cool down but that may help in maintaining temp. If you're doing the keezer anyway I don't think there would be much lost to try it out, you could probably also...

Looks good, i have sudden feelings of inadequacy with 3 taps. Thinking about moving my fan to the exact same spot. Id like to figure out a way to hang it from the lid so it pulls out of the way when it opens. Cold crashing 30L speidel on the shelf works with 4 kegs in, 1 can be pin lock for...

I had a relative that did this in a chest, it looked good but he was always having condensation issues.

disclaimer -- i'm an amateur. those are for shank connectors (5/8) so you'll have to remove them to do a barbed adapter. I think this would be the whole deal.

Just two taps didn't last long. Added a tap and a manifold. Wishing i had done 3" (2 are 4") shanks from the start. The 90 degree John guest fittings are nice too.

with approx 15 gallons in the swing was 37-44.

I have 15 gallons in there now i'll clear my thermometer and let it run for and report back. Using my infrared thermometer and shooting it around the inside that the temperature varies about 12 degrees in various places. I'm not sure what a typical result would be but that seems very high to...
