If you'd really like to remove disassembly from your cleaning process, you should consider using sanitary diaphragm valves. GEMU is one brand that makes them. They are commonplace in the biopharmaceutical industry (which is quite similar to brewing), and many high end commercial breweries. The...

Very nicely done, similar to what I want for my tap arrangement. Very clean.

Hey All, I'd had a 1953 Crosley Shelvador conversion since 2005 (back in my college apartment), but now that I'm brewing more, I needed more space for kegs. So it was time for the "Cougarator" to go (to another good home though)... I found a Sub-Zero 501R on Craigslist in Seattle for $150...

Introducing the Maven Brewing System. It took roughly 1 year to create, starting with bringing in natural gas pipe into the garage (and oversizing my feed out of the meter), bringing hot/cold water in, and then fabricating all that you see. The controls for now are toggle switches, which...
