I'm curious how the carbonated the bottles are afterwards? I have a homemade one using a picnic tap and cane tube from a bottle filler, while it works the bottles are always seriously under carbonated. I'm hoping this solves the problem.

Wondering if anyone knows the thermowell size. Want to order a new probe for the stc 1000 from auber instruments but have no idea which one to get.

No problem! Thanks for the picture. I didn't even know they had a kit. Now I am not sure what to do Haha. I wish the CDN dollar wasn't so low, would make this an easy choice. Here is what I have planned, total design steal from the electric Brewery. Not sure if I will add the amp and volt...

So I know this thread is pretty old but I keep coming back to your set up. Any chance you can take a closer picture of your panel? Curious as to what you have put in it. Thanks!

Yup colder climate for sure. I don't brew in the winter as I can't use the garden hose for chilling the wort. If I do I have to fill the bath tub with snow and water. Haha. Summers can easily get to 95f here but 80f to 85f is the normal. So can see it being easier then.

Very nice setup!

I kinda thought the same thing...always had 2" in mind. Also why I never got them to do it and I will be doing it myself once I get the parts. Now at the same time I want to do what the guys at the electric Brewery have done and use a trub buster underneath the element. They claim that 3"...

I might have to try just mashing in the pot then. (Just bought them before the sale is up) sounds like a little bit of insulation might make it work. I have been using the cooler mash tun setup for the 10yrs or so. Still want to be able to set the mash temp by control and play with step...

Also what is a good distance to drill the hole for the element from the bottom of the pot? 2" or 3"?

I'm going to have to look some of this up! haha Might just start out simple and maybe add some of these in as I go.

Don't you lose to much heat if your not applying any during the mash? Or is your pot insulated? I just switched to a batch sparge and increased my efficencey to 75% from fly spargeing with 65%. So its safe to say I am done with fly sparging as batch sparging yields me better efficiency and time...

Some good ideas there! Will have to look at the over the side whirlpool, I like this idea. Also never thought of using a wort chiller that way. Might have to reconsider some things here. Another thought that I had was to have a heating element in the BK only and recirculate the total brew...

OK, well I guess I can always buy the pots and do the holes myself...probably cheaper also.

Hello, So I found a pretty good deal on a 16g stainless pot that comes with a 3 piece ball valve and a 2" thermometer. It has the option to add extra weldless holes but this is were I cant be sure what I need. I was thinking a 2 vessel system (1-MLT, 1-BK) The plan was to punch a...

Just brewed this yesterday. Switched from Fly Sparge to Batch Sparge and finally hit my 75% efficiency target. Sample tasted amazing, cant wait for this one as well.

Thanks for the reviews. I got really excited about the brew boss, then i searched the price... Maybe buying the controller and building my own system might be a more economical way of doing it. But seeing as the CDN dollar is crap right now i might be waiting for a while.

Thanks very much. Will give this a go tomorrow. On a side note I had nothing but problem with the original gasket falling in, after complaining through emails they sent me some replacements!

How is everyone using the 2 new foam gaskets in the lid? Use one or both at once? Or one with the old silicon gasket.

Well I managed to neglect my starter by forgetting to put it in the fridge. Now it's gone bad, mould and smells really bad. So that's in the garbage now. I figured I will try my own recipe from scratch! Turned out pretty good!

I just spent a very long time on that website!!
