    15 Gallon 240V - 2 Pump E-HERMS Build - Here goes nothing...

    First off, I have to give a plug to Kal at www.theelectricbrewery.com he offers a complete step by step build guide on his website (see right side of webpage). I pulled a TON of information from that when I started. It super well put together, and will even further convince you that DIY is a...

    15 Gallon 240V - 2 Pump E-HERMS Build - Here goes nothing...

    I'm sure you'll get a lot of feedback regarding this topic, but I thought I would throw in my two cents! I'm actually just rounding out my first year on my e-HERMS setup, and I really love it. I brewed a batch yesterday, and for the 6 or 7th time in a row hit all my values on the nose. It offers...

    new eBrewing setup, eBIAB or eHerms?

    I tried my hardest not to phrase that post and lead anyone to that conclusion, it seems I could have done a better job! As I mentioned, I think a high level of consistency is possible with most any system! A close friend of mine has great consistency with his eBIAB system, but I know others in...

    new eBrewing setup, eBIAB or eHerms?

    Just thought I would add my two cents. First off, this is a perpetual debate in my mind and the minds of most electric brewers (in my opinion). I currently brew on a 3 vessel system, but seriously considered moving to a eBIAB to save on cleaning times. However, I actually decided to just add a...

    advantages/disadvantages of kettle mash tun

    As a data analyst with a strong statistics background I have to mention one thing. While, I do LOVE brulosophy and think it's an incredible source of information. He is leveraging extremely small sample sizes (albeit experienced samples). So I'm not terribly surprised he rarely finds significant...

    WTB High Pressure Co2 Line for Regulator

    Looking to pick up one of the 6' Co2 Lines to make the regulator remote from the tank. Found a couple on eBay, but didn't know if I could snag one for any less. Thanks!

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    Couple of points I thought I would bring up. 1.) Using a greenlee punch to expand that hole wouldn't be ideal. Those punches work best with the initial hole in the vessel is the size of the threaded bolt that the punch attaches too. As someone who has used these punches, it would be a little...

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    Looking at the front, it looks like their is an indention where the ball valve goes. What's the diameter of that? I'd love to put some TC fittings on this, and in my eyes that's a plus over the brew bucket. I don't see how you could put a TC fitting on the cone of the brew bucket. I'm...

    Basement Brewery Plumbing Question

    Reviving my old thread. I've been brewing on my e-HERMS system for a few months now and I would really like to get my water source moved into the brewery. It'd be nice to not run 50' water hose for cooling via my CFC. Additionally, self-contained cleaning, drying, and storage would make my...

    Startup Cost v. LPG?

    Hopefully this is helpful for you, I priced out all my pieces because I moved hobbies and wanted to ensure I wasn't dumping a bunch more into this venture. Below is my build specs (for the most part), I used keggles to stay on budget, but that's a rough idea on the other components...

    Show me your brew room computer setup!

    I've got mine mounted on the wall with an articulating mount (here). I can move it out or swivel it if I'm sitting on any side of the brewery. I then just mounted a simple shelf I stained to hold my keyboard and mouse. Works good, and I think it looks clean.

    Keg Polishing Method

    Appreciate all the additional insight and comments. To clear up the question around my kegs :p. I connected with a former bar owner that was selling out some of the last things he had laying around. I picked them up for what I thought was a stellar deal. As far as the method, I was...

    Keg Polishing Method

    I don't think a drill would quite cut it for a couple of reasons. First, the dual action (vibration and oscillation) of the sander are what helps cut through the dings and surface scratches. Second, the variable speed of the buffer allows you to start slow and increase speed to get surface...

    DIY Under Counter Kegerator Idea

    Appreciate the insight Moon Brewer, and thanks for the pics. I've considered doing a makeshift extension of one of my mini fridges, but like you I wonder about the rapid cooling capacity and it handling 6 or more kegs. I've been thinking about taking a mini freezer and doing the same idea. Those...
