Wow, and I just read all 15 and 22 pages in your other threads to get that info. :) You're the man Pol, da man !!!!!!! Keep on helping out us new guys. Thanks

Sawdustguy, I'm kinda afraid to ask this, but regarding #41, 42. Any chance you did have the nipple length correct at 6"? I'm looking at your beautiful pictures, and I can't see how that is a 10" long pipe. Knowing that the tee ports are 2", it just doesn't map out. The 7" long element...

slight hijack.......... I've been trying to find a website for the new store, I'm wondering if it is up yet? Oh, and great deal ! Jason

CodeRage, I am looking to use a disconnect for my RTD or Thermocouple. Some of the models I have looked at have a metal braid covering the wire but do not specify if there is an inner insulator or what the temp max of the cable is. I am planning to initially heat the HLT with gas to get up...

Has anybody entered this into brewbuilder yet? I'm thirsty and lazy jason

ZZzzzzzzap !!!! OW!! :D

Ohio-Ed, Your 'idea' has been banging around in my head since I first responded. Are you planning on initially mounting the PID in a small enclosure for portability, with AC and probe jacks? I wonder how much the AC cord tether would be a pain, depending on one's layout. I'm begining to...

Ohio Ed, I agree with you about moving towards thermocouple/pid now for later expansion. I don't know if you have considered starting with a cheaper, stand alone device that will use the thermocouple probes. You won't be wasting money on any probes purchased, and when you do upgrade to a PID...

so........ I'm seeing a fermentation chamber with several conduits running within the vessel (for larger contact surface area) that open to the water/glycol bath, pumped to recirculate, with possibly a secondary heat exchanger (coil) for temperature adjustment (ice bath or small refridge). All...

Greenbirds, That is a great description of my efforts at whirlpooling. I have only been using 1/2 tablet and am still getting the fluffy 2-3 inch layer. I know it is not my whirlpool, as I can get a vortex that just about reaches the bottom of the kettle. I have also let it sit for up to 30...

fyi I believe that most of the leaf hops are marked "new crop" I am still struggling to finalize my order, knowing I should go pellet based on how much I brew and available storage space, but still really wanting to get some leaf. (love the fresh cones) jason

Epic Score !! Truly classy move budbo. Especially in an area where CL is so weak for brewing hardware. Jason

Thanks Mike, I needed that. jason

bjzelectric, You should try it on tap. It still isn't one of my favorites but I felt it was a little better balanced. I agree with you about the 60 min, it has really become my standard go-to beer. The Gaithersburg Alehouse has the Burton Baton. If you like DFH, you really should try this...

jamest22, I just got one of those in the mail a few days ago. I bought (from bobby M) the version with the built in thermometer. He even sells if for $5 off if bought via the link in the thread. Shipping was priority and cheap, I got it in 2-3 days. This is a thing of beauty. There are...

Chester, Nice rig. I am also planning out my first rig. How is the bazooka in the kettle working for you? I have tried one (straight version) in my brew kettle for a couple of 5 gal batches but it just gets too clogged up with hops. I have been using only pellets without any leaf, and the...

Wayne1 I really like the whirlpool set up in your BK. Quick question about the inlet. Is that also a welded in double female? Then there would need to be a close nipple- the visible coupler-another close nipple and the elbow? is that correct? I'm wondering about the spacing from the edge...

You are my hero. :D Really, it is great that you were able to present your plan/method in such a straight forward and easy to understand way. By presenting the 'big picture' it makes it much easier to see this as an easy, and more importantly, viable solution. You have removed many of the...

Thanks guys! That is what I was hoping to hear. Is it really so simple - I can add a pump and a RIMS unit to my existing cooler mash tun with a bazooka tube and have automated electric mash temperature control? Great guide. jason
