I have a similar keg, but only with the top plastic part. I removed it, (which removes the handles) and am using it as a MLT. (to the left in this pic)

there may be an internal defect in the pump. a gfci does nothing more than monitor the current flow to ground. the pump when turning off, is shorting out causing the gfci to trip. ungrounding the pump is not good advice. did you recently purhase it?

I would get a few more quotes. Did he mention upgrading the service coming into the house ?

I would ask why? There are better ways to do it.

off topic, but what is that gizmo with the red hose? some kind of oxygen machine? looks pretty hardcore..

I find we are least likely to get hit with customs/tariff charges with USPS, as once it crosses, it gets delivered via Canada Post.

email sent on the guinness coupler

hi im interested in a guinness coupler.. i see one has both barbs, could i get that one.. can you do $25 shipped to southern ontario (N3L2L7) thanks

One issue that comes to mind is many door mounted components are designed to be mounted in several millimeter sheet metal, not something like 1/2" thk plywood. That could be remedied with some sort of thin panel in a cutout in the door. I wouldn't shy away from wood, its not a typical...

I would be careful with this guys, a 1-3/8" hole is too large for the weldless mounting of 1" NPS elements. You will have issues sealing as the hole is basically 1/8" too large, no o'ring will work. I dont want to see anyone ruin a kettle. One way this would definitely work, is if you are...

The female side also requires a bit more attention when it comes to cleaning. Having the female on the hose means you can just soak the ends. Cleaning would be more difficult with them fix mounted on the vessel.

Wow, sherlock holmes in the house. :)

The typical element hole size needed is 1-1/4". Awesome find.

Yes those barbs will work with the thermoplastic hose (im using them as well). No clamps too.

Yes. The tubing is not at all "stretchy". Keep in mind the OD of 1/2 MPT is apprx 3/4".. I would think if you ground down the pipe threads you might have a chance.

Hi Ive done what your suggesting and ended up using barbs. I went in with the intention to stretch the tubing over the MPT of an elbow and it just wasnt possible. Thermoplastic tubing is just very ridgid.

I suppose i got lucky then. At the time I didnt realize it actually was an issue. It was shipped with a few cornies in a large box.

What are the specs on the herms coil? size? length? I have 1/2 x 50ft soft copper, i get 10 gallons down to 70 in about 20min. I dont use purchased ice, I just have a large closed jug I throw into the freezer and reuse it on brew days.. My water is also around 40-45 deg F so that helps as well

Yes that is exactly what I do. Fill HLT with ice + water, then slowly fill/drain at a constant rate (static volume). A big plus for me over an IC is no sanitzation worries and super easily clean up (i pump hot water thru the system during cleanup) I re-circ back to the BK to whirlpool as well...

i bought a 20lb tank several years ago on ebay, and had it shipped (uncharged). I wasnt given any hassle when it crossed the border.
