Hey guys, Picking up the steel for my single tier on Tuesday and am beginning to make plans to get my burners set up. I hear gas beams are unsafe so what's the proper way to route the gas to the burners? Also I think I would like to set up regulates similar to what you might see on a normal...

Thank you ! I was hoping to avoid another fridge mostly due to lack of space. Any other thoughts ?

Hello, I just inherited a few kegs and will converting two of them into fermenters. Outside of using a refrigerator what are some options for keeping a fermenter this size cool? I live in Florida so this could be a challenge. I have a fridge in the garage but it is not big enough to house...

Lots of great advice fellas. I appreciate all of the input. I'll stick with 1.5 tube unless supply is low for some reason. Even though it is heavier I will use the heavier gauge steel due to my weak welding skills. .... It just seems easier for me actually weld the heavier stuff. Thanks...

Hello, Going to steel outlet to get steel for brew rig soon. I am beginning to finalize my design for a single tier stand and am curious what the optimum size of tube steel to use in my design. I am just learning to weld and am not too familiar with my steel options. I am using a cheaper...

I forgot how amazing that thing looks

Hey thank you for the tip! I am curious about one aspect of the welding. Do you grind the bead down do that it is a flat surface or do you leave the bead and grind the slag off? Just wondering from a structural integrity standpoint

Hello gents , I've been hard at work on this project but it's moving slowly. Here's where I am so far My burners My keggles My first pump. Compliments of mr hoppy guy My welder My welding practice ..... Ugly I know but it's still together The last of my Christmas beers. I...

Well here's my progress. It's pretty ugly but they stick together! This was my first attempt. The steel was a little thicker than I need it to be and was a little tricky to work with

Hello, I'm curious to see of anyone here as any experience blending two different beers together. I was at Capitol brewery in Madison wi recently and tried some their aged/blended beers and was intrigued. I have heard of people brewing two identical recipes and adding different yeast to the...

Wow that's certainly one idea!

Wait a minute.... Don't you sell brew strands?

Hey guys, I keg my beer, but need to bottle about 12 bottles this time around due to an agreement I have with a friend at work who gave me three sanke kegs. I have never just bottled 12 beers before because if I bottle, I bottle the entire. 5 gallon batch..... How would you bottle/ carb just...

I scoured Craigslist for months trying to find kegs and had to overpay for them ($50). Then I just happened to have a conversation with a guy who sits next to me at work for the past year and he basically just said "I hav a few kegs just sitting around, I'll trade them all to you for free beer"...

For me the novice I initially looked at my brewstand like this. Buy new..... Roughly $1000 Pay a welder $500-plus burners etc DIY.. Price of materials. $300-$400 What I failed to account for was all the other things I needed. My welder was only $100. But then my angle grinder miter...

Hello friends, To update I landed not two but three sanke kegs, all in excellent condition. I've decided to use at least one as a fermenter and possibly one as a serving vessel. What about the third one? Also I have seen one sanke conversion product that looks viable, it does not require...

Yeah I think the consensus is that if you are a professional you ought to buy elsewhere but if you're a hobbiest on a budget your ok going there. For example I bought one of their angle grinders for $20 And I have made three keggles with no issues. I'll be using the same grinder to clean...

My old home town! Hey I'm in the same boat as you.... I just decided to go to a harbor freight and by myself a welder for about $100. I'm teaching myself to use it right now. Its ugly but getting better.

Ok I think this makes the most sense. I will probably weld together some sort of stand for it so that I can keep it off the ground. Outside of putting it in refrigerator of some kind, is anyone familiar with a temperature control system for a snake fermenter? Also would installing weldless temp...
