After brewing extract for a year and suffering a house fire, loosing all of my brewing equipment, I decided I wanted to brew all grain. Not only that, I wanted to jump right in to a HERMs setup so I could be the mad scientist I am and flip ball valve levers while my concoctions brewed and hops...

Wow! You put a ton of work into this system and I truly appreciate your sharing of knowledge as it's helped me a lot when planning my system. I hope you're not getting completely out of brewing because it seems like it was a passion for you.

:smack: Didn't see the 90 degree compression fitting sigh... Well, since he was out of the Big-C camlocks I'll add that to the order once those come in. Thanks for describing your setup. Makes sense to do it that way.

Looks fantastic! I have been waiting for these to become available and was surprised by this post. Went to the website and found them at the bottom of the NPT fitting page. Just placed my order to upgrade my new pots and set up my HERMs system. Chugger Pumps put a dent in my wallet but I'm...

LOL! I tried using Visio but got frustrated with it. Ended up using the Draw tools in Excel. That worked out well and I'm almost finished with it. Check out how it looks so far: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzVo7-X0yF6QU3BjYVBFTkZHUm54Y2VWVlBENm9WLUJfSVg0/view?usp=sharing

Isn't Sketchup more of a 3D program? I'll download that tonight and give it a try. I have Visio but don't have the symbols I need to make that work Maybe I can find an expansion pack for it. Never though of using Excel, that may also be a good option! Thanks!

I've seen quite a few Drawings of HERMS/RIMS systems on here but am having a hard time finding software that's simple to use to draw my own. I'm trying to design my HERMS System and have been somewhat successful copying someone else image into a PDF and editing that but it's not pretty...

Bobby, Quick question, I couldn't tell from the video and didn't see a post that mentions it but with these be available with both the MPT and FPT thread option? Edit: I see the first post in the thread shows these with Female Threads near the back but that wouldn't work if you wanted to just...

After a second look, you could unbend one of the ends to make it long enough for a lid mount... Hmmm, Ill have to rethink this!

I have it but am in the middle of completely re-doing my system so I haven't used it yet. If it's mounted through the side of the HLT it should work fine but I don't think it's suited for mounting in the lid. Even though they lengthened the ends they're not long enough for me to get full use...

All good questions. I've drawn it out a couple of times "roughly" but I guess I really need to make a solid attempt at it. I am going from 5 gallon extract brewing right into an all grain 10 Gallon HERMS system so I'm taking my time and researching everything. Right now I have the 2-80 quart...

Bobby, If I gave you a diagram of the layout I'm trying to put together would it be possible for you to recommend a fitting setup? I'm still waiting for the dimpling fitting to show up on the website but wanted to get as much of the supplies I need for my first order. I'm looking at a...

Not sure what I clicked to take me to the Spike Brewing contest :mad:

This is for "Spike Brewing" not Colorado Brewing Systems

Great! I'll keep an eye on the site for them. I have quite a few other things I need and have been waiting for these to place my order. Looking forward to trying them. Do you suggest getting an extra and trying to solder one on a cheap pot before I commit my good pots to this or is the...

Looks like others have used THESE to punch the holes based on the reviews, would you think it would work?

That is an adapter to go from FPT to MPT and doesn't have the flange on the back to provide a surface to Silver Solder to the inside of the pot.

My new pots came in this weekend, ready to purchase all my bulkhead fittings and have a couple of questions; Do you have an ETA for these fittings or should I just go with your current fittings? (I won't be brew ready for a month at least so I can wait if needed). Drill the holes with a step...

That's where I got mine, best place I could find price wise and there are many of them in Ohio. They will ship to store as well if you want to save on Freight.

Great advice guys, I do appreciate it. Gavin, do you have a link to the thread showing the parts he used for the outlet temp probe? Your link only takes me to the picture. I suppose I could just use a Tee fitting with the probe entering that way.
