The advent of the 3500w induction burners is accelerating my electric brewery plans, now with a lot less wiring and building. Might not be as much fun, but safer, faster, and easier. I brew 5g batches, but want 5g at the end going into the keg, so I usually boil 7+ gallons. Am therefore...

So I have an idea for a hood build, wondering if anyone has tried anything like it. Use PVC & elbows to make the bottom frame as big as you need (square for one kettle, or rectangular to fit over 2-3). Install an inline vent fan into a square or rectangular piece of ply/mdf/etc, that...

Also in Brunswick and interested. Where in the midcoast are you based?

It's the Bull Jager brewery, if anyone is interested.

Brunswick, Maine

I have two keggles. One has a 1/2" ball valve and center dip tube, the other just had the top cut off. The outsides have been polished. I will be sticking with 5 gallon batches, so considering trading for smaller brewpots, in the 10g range. Hoping I can find someone who wants to up-size...

I'm following now. Thanks. Although it is starting to seem like running a separate circuit isn't all that pricey compared to the alternatives.

I like this idea. At the start and end of each brew day, I could flip the two breakers, ensuring I wouldn't trip due to the dryer and brewery running at the same time. And I think I have a spare panel at my wife's office, left over from a remodel. Any danger or code worries about...

That control panel looks ghetto awesome. I mean that entirely as a compliment. The thing about Kal is that the aesthetic, while professional, is just too common. But that thing is kick-ass.

Probably 60+ feet of wire would be needed. I'll keep it to 30-40 amps with a set-up that only uses one element at a time. Just hoping to find a safe but less-expensive and less-trouble solution (avoiding pulling down all the insulation in the basement ceiling to run a wire, etc.).

The dryer is upstairs and the brewery is in the basement, so there'd be drilling and wire running regardless. Wish it was that easy.

My brewing space is at the far end of the basement from the electrical panel, but only a few feet from where the supply for the dryer runs upstairs. So conceptually I am imagining some sort of junction box with a switch that would route power to either the dryer or the spa panel (so my wife...

That's a haul too - thanks for the offer though.

I'm going to pass for now. Doesn't quite work out for me.

N Berwick is a bit of a haul, but let me know what you'd want for the floor corker and I'll see if it's worth the drive. Thanks!

Brunswick. I'd be interested in either corker.

Trying my first batch of wine so looking for a corker. A step up from the most basic would be nice - something adjustable. Let me know what you got. Thanks, Jim Maine

You could use a ring terminal clamped onto the ground wire. The one thing I don't like about all the use of the JB Weld with the ground wire is that, although unlikely, you could insulate the ground wire from the "chassis." Yes, it would be difficult, but even reducing the contact between...

There has been a posting on Maine CL from a guy in NH selling a bunch of kegs. Says he travels up 95 occasionally.

Live in Brunswick so looking forward to checking it out. Facebook posts would suggest they're going all in. Already starting classes.
