Am buying a food grade 12v DC pump and would like to find a reasonably priced speed regulator with a built in switch so I don't have to wire in a switch in the control box as well. The speed regulators I've found really don't say the will turn off or dial down to 0 amps. Any help would be...

Went to my wine/beer supply store in Tulsa and found my son-in-law his Christmas present. They had a display of Blichmann G1 boilermakers on clearance. They had 2- 10gallons ( now only 1) and about 5- 15 gallons. They were sale priced with an additional 20% off. :ban:

Found the norcal website. Thanks for the heads up. Cheaper than the ones in Tulsa for the G2 10 gallon pots.

Well, wanted to see and check out some brew pots so we made a trip down to Tulsa today to the wine/brew store and what do you know, right in the middle of the store they had a close out on all the Blichmann G1 Boilermakers. They were on sale PLUS another 20% off the sale price, so that...

I can see how temperature control is important, thus the thermometer built in. This brings up another issue with getting a new burner for them; not only the need to bring the wort up to a roiling boil faster, but the ability to control the temperature once obtained. MAN, beer making is...

Thanks Darwin, that's a cool idea and have saved the link in my favorites of items I'm looking at. Will def. get a brew pot with a thermometer.

Podz- Yep, describes me especially at Christmas. Learned long ago if you go cheap the first time it costs more $. Buy cheap first, then end up buying the better one after getting sick of screwing around with the cheap one to make it work. But now I'm older and have learned to RESEARCH to get...

The suggestions made so far has enlightened me to the realization that though a conical fermenter has a lot of WOW factor, other equipment would serve my S-I-L much better with his brewing at this point. Upgrades I have decided on are 1. a new brew pot. 2. The wort chiller. 3. Upgrading...

Thanks suli, not experienced with CL either but will look around.

Thanks dfess. That helps. I am handy, S-I-L not much so, especially with plumbing ;) Thanks for the links Doc, costs run up fast don't they on this nicer equipment. SuliBrew, thank you for the list. What category is brew equipment commonly posted under on CL?

Thanks dfess1. They live in Garden City, KS; we live in SE corner of KS. I have found some brew pots with valves, the 10 gallon be large enough for a full wort boil? I know daughter has commented something about not being able to get up to a full boil if too much liquid, so I assume they are...

And I thought I had this figured out:smack: The beer making is a family affair with the gkids and all, so it's like family time. I know after brewing they take it down into the basement for better temperature control. For now, they are set on bottling the brew when it's done, and also set...

'The Brew Bucket'? I will definitely check it out, thank you.

Thanks How, upgrading his system to make it more enjoyable was my intention. Not sure what an all-grain-system is, he only does kits right now. Not sure if my answer is relevant to your suggestion :( The kegerator I assume is a keg type device and they opt for bottles as they are easier to...

Hello all, With fall just around the corner I have started contemplating Christmas gifts. My Son in Law makes beer from kits about 3x/year, and after watching some video recently on beer making I realized just how much work is involved. He makes it with plastic buckets, racking, etc. and...
