Mine is the same way. I emailed Mike (w/ Chugger) to see if that was how it was supposed to be. Here was his response: "We changed it to assist with moving boiling wort. We have found it helps to prevent cavitation." FWIW, mine works like a champ and moves the hell out of some hot wort.

My mash tun is a 10 gallon cooler and not fired. So, I couldn't re-heat when temps drop. I recently bought a pump and was going to try to expand its use into the mash steps. You know, gotta try to show a little ROI to SWBO. :) I would only be using it for a few minutes to vorlauf, not recirc...

Any downside to recirculating wort in the mash tun with a pump? I don't have a RIMS or HERMS system, as I use a single infusion mash and fly sparge. Currently, I vorlauf into a pitcher (and pour it carefully back into the MLT) until the wort is clear. I didn't know if there would be a lot of...

How much are you asking for it?

Going to be building a keezer in the very near future and I'm looking for a controller. Does anyone have one their not using or willing to part with?

Sweet! Will they be in with the Citra? Any way to get on a notification list? Eric

What about simcoe?

Hi, I have a question about my temp. controller's sensor probe. My controller is a Aqua Logic TR115SN (looks like a rebranded ranco). Anyway, last night I plugged the freezer up to it to test it out. When the probe was inside the freezer (in a cup of water), I noticed the temp was reading 97...

Looks sweet! Did you move the hinges of the freezer or leave them in their factory position? Is your coffin insulated in any way? Eric

So, I'm about to venture down the keezer road and I have a few questions... I have my kegs, freezer, and temperature controller. 1. What is the desired height and depth of the coffin? I know it needs to be tall enough to support whatever glass I fill up, but is there any other...

From my experiences, you need to have a hose that connects to the valve's output and extends beneath the valve... thus sucking the wort from the BK where the dip tube ends. Without that hose you'll just pull the wort to the valve level. Eric

Sweet, thanks for the quick responses.

Would that be the "full load"? Here are the specs... Amp Loading Capacity: Full load: 9.8 amp Locked Rotor: 58.8 amps Resistive Heater: 9.8 amps My freezer pulls 5 amps

So, I have an opportunity to pick up a temp controller for a pretty good price and I have a quick question. The controller is an AquaLogic TR115SN. Checking the data sheet for this one, it says that it will handle temps from -30 - 210 degrees. Is a temp controller a temp controller? I mean...

Here's my TopTier setup. It's all gravity fed at the moment. I've had it right at a year and brewed 10 times on it. I really like the TopTier! I have a fired HLT and BK with a 10 gallon cooler mash tun. To fill my HLT, I use a RV hose to send water through the filter. It works great and I...

Here's a high-res image link to one of the temp modules on Blichmann's site: http://www.blichmannengineering.com/TOWER_of_POWER/photos/Single_control_module.jpg

This was an excellent recipe! I'm brewing it again this weekend. The first batch was brewed as the recipe stated, but I zested 2 lemons and 4 oranges instead of the bitter and sweet orange peel. Man, what a great flavor combination. Saturday, I may substitute a grapefruit for the lemons...

Pick me!

I really like my TopTier. While it was a little pricey, I think it was worth it. On my site (linked in my signature), I have a few pics of my setup.
