I made one using a 20' coil and it gets 5 gallons from boiling to pitching in about 15 minutes, good enough for now. As the summer arrives may have to get an water pump and use the ice water in a cooler to drop those last few degrees.

I have had good experiences at both, but use Tuxedo more due to closer location. The guys at TPB have always been helpful with advaice and getting some parts that I needed.

Did crack the valve before putting on the gauge, it holds pressure in the tubing and regulator because the needles did not move for two days after turning the tank on then off. Meant to say ball lock disconnects, thinking that the one on the 5lb tank is bad when hooked up to the keg. Like I...

So, I have a leak and drained a tank in about a weeks time. Before hooking everything up did a leak test by submerging the splitter and connectors in water finding a small leak where an MFL washer was left out. Then charged the system and turned off the tank and the gauges did not move for two...

Nice double eagle on 2 to start a round, too bad he couldn't manage to hit his caddie's hand.

BIAB allowed me to transition to AG brewing with minimal investment into a burner and pot, now I'm looking at how I can swing an e-BIAB with pump for recirculation. Have made 4 batches with my current setup and everyone that tries them likes them, so I see no need to go to a 3 vessel setup for...

I like it, my PVC one is starting to warp and the worm clamp keeps coming loose during the boil. Would be nice to upgrade to something better.

Thanks for the comments, just glad that it passed the SWMBO's inspection and was allowed in the house.

Thanks to the HBT community for the inspiration and advice from your prior builds. Would not have been able to do this without this site.

Got it moved in to the house and had it's first pour :mug:.

Finally got it finished :rockin:, just need to add a drip tray. Wanted to know if I used some angle brackets with some epoxy if that would hold onto the wood on the freezer?

Wasn't planning on it, just another 4 or 5 coats of poly. Probably put the taps in tomorrow and move it into the house for the first pour.

Finished the staining and got a coat of poly on, not looking too bad. Do a couple more coats and insulate the lid then place the taps and will be ready to put into action.

Finally had a little time to work on it today and got most of the trim on. The top has 1/2" quarter round on the inside and it will have some galley rail along the back.

Not much progress today, working 12 hour shifts all weekend. Did get a couple more pieces of trim on to cover the seal. also have a limited number of clamps to work with.

The way I understand it is that there is so little r-value in the 1/4" plywood that there should not be any problems with heat dissipation. Hopefully it works out like that, I don't want to try and explain to the swmbo hat I need to build another one because I fried this one.

Initially thought about using the chalkboard paint, but think that I will put a clear credit/business card holder on the trim above the faucet and make a label to slide in there. Should be able to finish up next week, if the schedule permits.

That's a good idea for next time, then I will just build a bar around it and call it good.

Got a little more work done today, cut and stained some of the trim and also put on a couple of pieces. The plywood wrap will be stained a golden oak for a two tone effect.

Tested before buying the wood and it gets nice and cold.
