So I am at home today working on my house and up pulls the UPS guy and drops off the bucket ring from Gemplers. Guess what the funnel and ring fit almost perfectly, (but not water tight) I am thinking a bead of food grade caulk around the inside of the ring and a chunk of tubing where the...

Ok to remind everyone where I was at on the valve. I tried to punch the screen out with a screwdriver and found that there were two pieces of stainless sandwiched and spot welded together. Bottom line is that all of the snout and bottom portion of the screen are one piece of metal and should be...

I need to sort out how to put a valve on the bottom. The screen is 1 inch wide: I would like to utilize a small portion of the screen by drilling through the center hole with a 7/8 inch bit then shoving a stainless bulk head through (with a gasket for now and putting the valve on the...

So I just ordered 1767a14. I think the G's would be better but they are awfully expensive. I think I am going to glue (super glue metal adhesive) the latches to the funnel and cut slots in the rim of the pot then have the latches grab onto the rim. In reality it wont look bad. This will also...

I will have to check out the pool supply places. Also does anyone use one of these? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JXYUA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 If so can you provide dimensions for me? I know I have the cart way ahead of the horse here but I am thinking about the second...

OK so I am operating on faith but I am going to order one of these. http://www.gemplers.com/product/4310-1/Replacement-Lever-lock-Ring-Metal-Pails I will also be perusing CL but this should be made to work without too much non-sense. Lg

Does anyone know where to find the drum clamps in a 5 gallon size? I like the idea of using the draw latches and it is what I envisioned in the first place, and another benefit is they could be bolted in. I don't want to drill holes in anything but I would rather do that instead of welding...

Ok so I still want to do this project without welding (yet) So I took the standard walmart lid. Got rid of the glass and put on the tubing gasket. With the whole thing mocked up it looks like it will provide a pretty good seal if I can get some clamps that will press down hard enough...

Old Trucker, that is a danged fine idea. Lg

Ed, I am in the process of tearing the screen out. I assumed that it was just press fitted in and it is sandwiched with another screen and tac welded in. I think that I am going to get a bulkhead fitting and drill the screen and cut the snout of the funnel off. As for welding I am against it...

Hey guys, I have been lurking for a few years on HBT and mostly on the DIY thread. I am currently fermenting in buckets but, want a Stainless Conical however, the cost is a bit prohibitive. Inspired by conicals that have been built out of plastic funnels and buckets I have searched the...

This is the second post I have read about this kind of thing and its time we all did something about it. I gave em my .02

Appreciate the input sir, I found that it is the Black (ground) wire that should be switched to the unused female terminal. It can be used to cool or to heat and stays rather close to true temperature. I recommend it wholeheartedly.~Lg

I just bought a johnson controls thermostat. It is designed to be placed in a fridge to cool wort. I am interested in changing the internal wire to run a space heater. Which wire do I move inside the controller to the leftover terminal? BTW Beer is boiling need help ASAP. Thanks

Btw, I am looking for my next recipe looking for an all grain light kinda beer or a hoe garden (sp?) any recommendations?? Lg

Just bottles my first two batches of beer. The Belgian wheat went well though it only was 4 gallons. The Stout was the biggest Goat F**k in the world. My siphon wouldn't work and had to mouth siphon with no filtration what-so-ever. I currently have 6 gallons worth of beer priming with1-2 inches...
