Where did you source the Swagelok fittings for your HERMS coil? I haven't been able to find a supplier with the 90* 5/8 tube x 1/2 npt.

+10 gal of red ale 4973.25.

I have been using a hop spider as well. However, I am personally not a big fan of dealing with the hop spider, and might just go back to the "hopstopper" I purchased awhile back. Also, I noticed your earlier comment about being hesitant of placing the plastic reducer to low for fear of it...

Mind sharing who has them? I thought they were all sold out again...

Flying Saucer... Awesome place, I finishe a plate at the Columbia Saucer before we moved. Unfortunately, my wife and I ended up moving to FL so I don't really go other than when we are there visiting family. If everything goes right, we should be moving back to Columbia towards the end of the...

Looks like you have multiple people on the list; however, I would certainly take one if you end up with any extras. (i.e. put me on the list)

I do believe on more than one occasion you have set forth that your mount is a better concept than kal's and "cannot" leak. If it cannot leak, that would lead almost everyone to believe your mount is "waterproof." However, now you indicate it is splash proof, but better because you have tack...

Kind of my question, it was stated that your mount is fully waterproof. However, if it is only tack welded (which is obviously not waterproof), you are relying on the silicone to seal the element (assumably on the inside of the mount). So what is the real difference from kal's method...

Is the element completely welded to that stainless steel plate, or just tack welded in those few spots?

Yes, I still have it. It is currently sitting in the corner of my garage...

Wow this is an old thread from last year. Still, the beer festival is coming to Columbia, SC this weekend. I will again be there and have VIP tickets for the afternoon session. I have done VIP tickets for every year that it has been in Columbia and continue to have a good time. It does get...

Temp probe is sold.

The probe is fine as I have used it previously. The problem with the connector (the one for the wire) is that the slide mechanism to hold it to the probe is messed up. Thus, it does not make a good connection and will easily become disconnected. As I had already made custom rtd probe wires...

That's the one. However, I just realized last night that the "spring connector" is bad. I will look this evening to see if I have another laying around. If not, then one would have to be located unless you simply need the probe.

I should probably clarify, the rtd probe and element are not included with the BK. Also, I removed the brass ball valve with the intentions to switch out to stainless before I invested in new kettles. Accordingly, if I can dig up the parts in the garage you are more than welcome to have them...

So I have been changing some of the equipment on my e-brewery and now have some extra stuff laying around... First, I have a keggle that I was previously using as my BK. It does have three holes punched in it, one for a ball valve, one for a rtd probe, and one for an element. Also, I took an...

I know you indicated that you used Minwax water based stain and polyurethane, but what shade of stain is that? Maybe I missed it. Also what finish of polyurethane (i.e. satin, semi-gloss, gloss)? Great build!

What he meant by that is he has an element mounted in both the HLT and BK, but only has on 'element receptacle' in the back of the control panel using a single PID. Thus, when he wants to run the BK, he has to unplug the HLT element from the panel and plug in the BK element. He does not...

10 gallons of a Centennial Blonde. 1123.5 + 5 (npater) + 10 (mine) = 1138.5 gallons

Understood. Most of the time people solder the fittings on the outside and my presumption was that would cause problems. Being on the inside is likely a whole different story as you elaborated on. As for the drain in the BK, that is a pretty creative idea. Using an all electric system, I...
