http://www.mcmaster.com/#9379K93 The pipe heaters max temp output is 1400 degrees F so there is a bit of a margin. I purchased two rolls last year, One roll is enough for two heaters.

Just put in an order. 1) I didn't purchase the insulation (I have some left over from the last build) 2) I picked up a 3 inch threaded pipe to connect the systems. ------------------------------------------ McMaster ----------------------------- 1 1 each 4550T141 Extreme-Temperature...

A reader suggested that I document this work in its own thread (part of it appears in another thread). Here it goes. This thread is to document an approach to a RIMS or eHERMS heating element which can be used with insulated vessels to maintain and adjust temperatures for mashes for 5 to 10...

"I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby. --Austin Powers" The beer is holding up really well, a good alternative to kegs. Cheers

I highly recommend the bag+ pump. I have been drawing pints from the bag, and the beer seems as fresh as the first pump (been over 2 weeks from the first draw). Comments from people who compared the beer in the bag (+pump) to the same brew in the keg, were the beer from the bag seemed...

Had a couple more pints. The bag will collapse as beer is removed, but a day later it firmed up (pressurized) again. Serving it next week. It seems to work.

If you let the beer from the keg sit for 10 minutes, the ale from the bag and the keg are very close to one another. I will see how the two age.

First draft from the bag. Not bad at all, and it has wheels :rockin: Joel

I missed that one. Looks really good.

Thanks. It is not hooked up yet. I am going with braided line since it will not kink. I will post photos. Checked it today. There is some pressure in the bag, looks like it is carbonating nicely.

I put 5 gallons of the English Ale into the bag today with 0.2 oz of priming sugar. Here is the photo, before and after. I will check the pressure for the next couple of days and burp as required. I figure I will make up a pressure relief valve using a 5 lb/in spring ( or so) so I don't...

I have brewed 10 gallons of an English Ale to test. In a couple weeks I plan to bag 5 gallons and keg the other 5. I will post side by side, and document the process as it gets closer.

Good point. That is why I have stuck it in the cooler.

I trying to duplicate the cask ales I had in England. White Hart in Holbert had Fullers on the beer engine, low carb and very nice. I am going to brew a clone this week.

Here is the sparkler, Lowe's had one which gives a press fit. Just rip out the fine plastic part of the aerator and use the screen. I also picked up some 1/2 inch hose to connect the bag to the pump. Just need to brew up some English ale to test out the finished product.

Yup... I am looking for a good sparkler.

You will need to vent the keg.. Here is the thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/would-like-use-corny-kegs-beer-engine-79647/

It seems it is common in the UK,(http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17088) in fact you can purchase commercial product in in a "poly pin". I have yet to test for the pressure, but I am targeting and English ale, so I will be keeping the pressure low.

Starting the build.

On the UK homebrew sites they carbonate in the polypins (bags) and serve directly for something similar to a cask ale. Some of the pictures at this site (http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11340) look like the bags are going to pop. Joel
