I'm planning on building a pvc tower. However, I'm a bit confused as to what I need to purchase for the hardware. I'll need a faucet and a shank right ? What kind of shank should I get for a 3" round tower ? Just wondering how I'm gonna tighten all this on a round surface

Well I've got a thermapen and it's supposed to be super accurate. I'm pretty confident the problem came from the mill. I crushed my grain with the cranknstein before I realized it was way too coarse. There was quite a big difference compared to the barley crusher.

I brewed using a different mill last weekend and I had a terrible efficiency. The mill is a crankandstein and I found out the gap setting was much looser than my barley crusher. Then I remembered that I used a credit card on the barley crusher so I did the same with the cranknstein. The crush...

I needed to cut some shelving in my mini fridge door. Everything fits perfectly butndo you guys have any idea on how to seal or cover exposed foam in the door ? I am talking about that nasty spray foam they use which makes a lot of dust when you scrape it ? Duct tape would be the last option...

^i will definitely check this out. Thanks for the insight !

I replaced the oring already, almost brand new and I use lots of lube too otherwise it's almost impossible to install the beer line. What is the poppet ?

I've been kegging for the last 12 months and I'm having a problem with my keg. The beer line (out) is extremely hard to connect to the keg. Once it's on, no leaks though but after a couple of months, I'm seeing some wear on the ring , propably caused by the tighness of the connecter. Anything I...

I finally got my new Danby mini fridge today. Now I'm read a few threads about building a mini fridge kegerator and I'm wondering a few things. 1) Do I really have to take off the top of the fridge ? Seems like a major pain and I might break the plastic. To find the lines, I plugged the...

Whree did you get that duff beer can ?? So cool !

Thanks for the clear answer b-hoppy !

Well i'm quite confused about what is a shoot, bud and crown. Basically, as long as the rhizome is still in the ground, I'm gonna have a plant growing each year right ? But after 2-3 years, aren't the roots gonna be too big to get rid of ?

Hello, I live with my mother currently and would like to plant some hops. Problem is next year, i'll move out so i need to get rid of the hops. Are they very hard to get rid of ? I've read some people are having problems with that. Otherwise, i'll plant them in a big pot

Well I've been told regular paste flux won't cut it for soldering ss. I went with stay clean (harris products) and soldered my 1" nuts and valve easily

Yeah I guess. Keg is considered a large pot so maybe it does not help. The resistance of both elements is 10 ohms

All right guys so I have a few updates for you ! My elements are rated for 120V at 1500W. I bought a multimeter today and right now, I'm doing a test. I took a reading on both elements and got 119V each so voltage is not a problem Could it be that one of the element is not heating as it should...

Not I haven't measured my outlet voltage...I will borrow a voltmeter next week. 10 mins after my original post, I got a small boil. What do you think ? I'm used to a big vigorous boil from my propane burner so I'm not sure if this boil is all right. As you can see, most of the bubbles are right...

So....after a few weeks of working on my electric keggle, I finally got a chance to test it tonight only to find out I can't achieve a boil at all. I'm stuck at 203 F even with a few layers of insulation (I'm brewing inside btw !) Here are the specs : 2 x 1500 W elements on two different...

yep !

All right guys, here's an update : I removed all the wires and started over but this time, I didn't use the heating outlet on the stc. It works perfectly as it is and I don't need a heater in my fermentation chamber anyway !

oops you meant the plastic wire nut ! So yes there are four hot wires joined together
