RM-I'm not sure why i used 2 90's on my dip tube to leave the trub behind. I guess from the pics thats what I've seen used. also I just measured again and it's 5 1/2 cups which isn't too bad. Also i don't have a strainer on the dip so this could possibly be a problem too. Jason. I'll find...

I've looked around and can't seem to find what I'm looking for after testing out my setup I'm boiling off 2 gal/hr when boiling 6 gallons, and leaving behind 1/2 gallon when draining my boil kettle. My question is do i need to adjust the amount of grain for the recipe or just add more water. or...

I got my rollers knurled and a hopper made. the hopper didn't turn out to well but better than nothing. ran some grain through tonight to test and it looks pretty good for a $20 mill. I'll try to get a pic up and here is the grind. Hopefully the pics worked. Thanks for all...

After 52 pages I went out bought 1 at jo ann fabrics for 13.00 with a 50% off coupon. Hoping all goes well but if not I'm not out much. Thanks a million for this thread:tank:

I know you probably checked them out but the chugger pumps with stainless heads are 99 bucks free shipping on ebay. just ordered one yesterday.

I decided to go silicone for the ease of connecting to multiple things. I know it's alot more money p/ft. but when you start adding up unions and valves at 5-7.00 that adds up too and it's not flexible. thanks for all the ideas though, it was a tough decision.

I ordered one today P-J, thanks for link. that should do it

I like it Swagman! I ordered my fittings though and now theres no turning back today I'm going to search around for the best price on a 809 and hoping to have this thing up and running in about a week or two.

Well it's official I just ordered all my qd's from barginfittings.com. As much as I like the copper look I just couldn't look past the ease of use and being able to see whats going on inside the lines. thanks for everyones input. I should be brewing shortly!

Scuba I agree it's pricey to say the least looking at about 150 for hoses and qd's. Yea the copper looks great cleaned I'm almost sure I'm going that way. BTW your wooden stand is Awesome!!!

Nice setup and very compact!. like the tool box idea is there any issues with overheating the pumps with this setup?

Very nice build!!!

I have alot of good posts about silicone but the copper is .97/ft. at Lowes and you can buy bulk fittings. Also if you want to replumb or replace a fitting you can drive to the store and there is no shipping. I'll check out Coderage's manifold. My biggest concern is keeping the inside of the...

thanks for the review it looks like they are out of the plastic and running low on stainless. I'm hoping they post more soon.

Thanks, the only other thing i'm not sure of is seeing where the air lock are if one of my pumps is not priming, but I guess if your outlet is going back up the bubbles should pass through the pump. I've searched on here and other sites but can't find many setups with copper lines though.

I made my single tier so you can store it upright. the kegs would be stacked next to it is the only down side. Everything else is hard mounted.

I've been kicking around the idea of using copper instead of silicone. i was thinking 1/2" with unions so I could disassemble and clean with brushes if I needed to. Is there any drawbacks other than not being able to see through it. Would you have to leave some water in the lines to prevent...

Here's the best shot I have of it.

maida I ordered my bulkheads from them I should've just ordered the tubing also, but USplastics is 5 miles from my house so I don't have to worry about shipping from them. the quick connects look very nice though I'm just shooting for the cheaper brass ones though for now. lostboysbrew, It's...

I am getting close to finishing my single tier setup. I have 3 kegs with weldless bulkheads ordered 1 each for drains. I have 1 march pump on hand already. My budget is about up so I'm not sure what to order. 1. silicone tubing 1/2IDx3/4OD usplastic 2.10 p/ft. (from reading posts it's well...
