Hi Guys, Rather than brewing today I finished up my venturi wort aeration system. I thought someone might benefit from all the trial and error I did pulling it together. My first several takes on this were inspired by threads on HBT...

Mpez that looks awesome! What a clean design. Here's my clunky effort to motorize my MM3. For sentimental reasons I wanted to use the motor I played around with growing up, and for space reasons I used the right-angle gear-reducer and cantilevered it over the table. It works great, and...

But it works: cantilevered it across the bottom of a shelf and the edge of a kitchen table to save space. Thanks so much for the pointers! Hopefully the pic does it justice, this was a really complicated project for me. :)

Bummer! :D OK email sent, I think I'm just interested in the pump if you part it out. Thanks and good luck selling!

Hey mikeysab, Blast from the past! :) After I broke the first 4.4CF unit by bending the freezer tray and cracking the coolant lines (d'oh!) I decided to go all out and made a keezer using Frigidaire from Craigslist. It just _barely_ fits 2 ball-lock cornies, and I've got a lagering carboy...

An update, after a few stops and starts (note to self: 20 AMP extension cord is very different than 15 AMP cord; 12 AWG wire is not easy to bend, etc.) I got it running today. I'm so excited, this was my first real electronic project. Lincoln et. all, thanks so much! Your patience with...

Awesome, thanks LandoLincoln et. all! I'll also give this a shot soon. :mug:

Cool, thanks! :mug:

So my kegs are seated tightly in my keezer and after a while of wrenching them out they have begun to pull loose from the vessel. Not tear, the rubber is just separating from the vessel. Any advice for a specific brand of adhesive to re-bond them? Preferably something sold at Home Depot or...

Sweet. I'm such a noob at this, something tells me I'll be happy I waited :D

Hey Carlyle, thanks for the response. It's really inspiring to watch your whole setup come together.

Any chance you'd sell the melted pump, if the issue is just a cosmetic one (although I assume you wouldn't have bought a new one if it was)? Thanks.

Derp! :drunk: I can't believe I missed that...actually I can. Well if anyone wants it I'm not sure what a fair price is, but make an offer!

OK, thanks that is great info. Where did you find the specs? I was Googling for a while without any luck. Well, in that case if anyone has a use for this please shoot me a PM. I'll probably put it up in classifieds in a bit.

Hey LandoLincoln, any chance you got the time to try this new setup? I may just wire my attempt up today and see what happens...which could be interesting in either case...:D Thanks!

So I recently picked this up at a garage sale for $5. Here is a link to the same model: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/plumbing/pumps/flotec/1-12-horsepower-350-gph-liquid-transfer-utility-pump-41646.html. I'd really like to use this to transfer from MLT to my BK. In general the wort is...

I lived in Bwick years ago, before I started brewing. Man do I wish I had the space now! Good luck selling it :mug:

Cool, thanks. I have no problem waiting another week but make sure it's safe/works!

Cool, thanks for the input...don't worry I'm taking your thoughts as academic advice only. But if it works I owe you a beer :D...now I'm confused about the wiring but I'll take another look at it. #1) #2) #3) are done. I got a 12-gauge 3-prong cord, check. Earlier I cut the strips on the...

Yeah, I'm not sure what caused it but it's interesting...after a few days in the keg the beer has gotten way more sour, not in a bad way at all, just different. I think this is normal with bretts/lactos, right?
