Hey Folks, Just wanted to post a few pics. Thanks to all the regulars for all the great posts. I dont think I would of had the courage to do anything like this from scratch 4 brews into this and my beer quality has definitely increased. The small green control panel is on a seperate 120v...

I basically echo your feelings. One thing you could try is just dabbing a bit of cooking oil on the element face after you clean it. it has basically stopped the rust from re-occuring for me.

how about a 2 tier compromise? In the grand scheme of things the 150 for a pump isnt the end of the world on even a budget system.

if i could go back in time i would of went straight to greenlee's and actually saved money.. punches > stepbits every time.

Im only 3 batches in on my new eherms setup, and let me tell you, im not sure the setup your coming from, but if it was like mine, this one is alot more "involved". Fly sparing, mash recirculation, pumps, controls, etc etc.. In some ways I miss the old propane days of gravity fed batch sparging...

not sure what part of the process you are planning to apply this? i cant think of anywhere it would be useful

The issue with the black gasket is some have said it gives off a rubbery flavour. Putting it in a cup of boiling water apparently reveals some of its taste i just went with silicone for peace of mind. its cheap insurance vs hunting for off flavours in my brew.

just back from the brewpub in mtl.. had a bunch on tap, and brought back about a dozen of these in the basement. also have some of the vanilla stout, which is amazing as well. ill start by saying in NOT a stout guy by any means, and really am not even a fan of chocolate. But this beer is so...

Just wanted to report back.The 2 I picked up from you are working well. Thanks again man!

amazing! you should definitely be proud. Any more pics by any chance? What kind of tubing is that? Looks like stainless braided? Any reason you went for that over a simliar dimension silicone?

Ditto

ah more work than its worth.. thanks for the investigation!

is the shelving removeable? the holes on that back shouldnt be an issue.

On my phone ATM but is it all plastic on the inside can't quite tell.. I was hoping it to be fairly shelving free..

haha go big or go home. just think, it can double as scaffolding.

couldnt wait.. took out the work laptop for the details. it was a great place to deal with. amazing customer service. he quoted me like 10bucks for shipping but then ended up refunding me a few bucks because the actual shipping price was less...

I found a fantastic place in texas that sent me up 2 1" NPT locknuts. Dont worry about the NPT NPS non-sense, for a locknut there is no difference as there are only 2 or 3 threads that engage. Not nearly enough for the "taper". I will post the details tomrrow. They were around 20 canadian...

So, the risk you are implying is that under a catrastrophic failure, the additional .02" material thickness will make the difference between someone in the hospital, and someone drinking a homebrew? I think you may need to step back and think about what are you trying to suggest. If arc fault...

Wow.. I dont even know if you are worth responding to, but, just for your information, all i was doing was passing along what I thought was a good deal. And, the Canadian comments. Are you really that ignorant? We are world leaders in Health and Safety.

interesting find. wonder what materials the head pump section consists of.
