I couldn't decide which forum to put this in, but I decided the keg forum would know best. Googling has not solved this for me, so I'm hoping someone here knows. If not, I'll end up posting whatever I end up doing and maybe it helps someone later. I was gifted a minox fusti by my father in law...

Yeah, there are calculators for that too, here's an example I found. And yes, the bulkhead is exactly what I'm trying to decide how to do now too. I'd love to find a way to go from a bulkhead to a keg gas post, but I haven't figured that one out yet. For pouring, I'm sure you could...

I don't add in additional sugar after kegging, I just hook it to the CO2 tank and let it go at my target PSI for a couple of weeks. You can do force carbing (and I've done it in a pinch) where you jack it up to 25 or 30 PSI for a couple days, then take it back down. That may be what you were...

30 PSI, really? Wow. I was gifted a 40L one for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how best to set it up for fermentation. Now I need to work our pressurized transfers as well as a blow off tube, god problem to have! But I set my kegerator at 12PSI, not sure you need 30.

You could just go to your local big box, check out some of the appliance hoses with quick disconnects here: http://www.homedepot.com/b/Heating-Venting-Cooling-HVAC-Parts-Accessories-Pipe-Fittings-Connectors-Gas-Fittings-Connectors/N-5yc1vZc4n5 You'll see them rated up to 100k (and those...

I'm pretty sure the Blichmann and Edelmetall are just BG-14s with windshields / stands / etc. I don't know how long it takes you to heat 13 gallons now, but have you looked into adjusting your existing setup by adding in wind screens / adjusting height, etc?

You'll need some exhaust venting or it will choke the flame. I found that in my initial burns - it burned perfectly without the kettle on, but with the kettle and the windscreen (even with the back vented), the front jets would choke and come back, choke and come back. I'm going to add a small...

Almost done with my NG rig and will be making a post once I've tested boil times, but I did increase to 9/64ths on my 7" WC supply. e: I think it could be increased a bit more since I can close the shutter some and still get good flames, but I'm going to do a boil test first.

The english word for that is "jockey box".

What is your gas pressure in water column? The standard NG banjo orifices are sized for 11" WC. And of course check the orifice for spiders, my first run the flame was bad and I didn't figure out why til I found a dead spider blocking flow. Also, how much waste heat do you have? Are you...

OK, I think have my parts list set up, although I'm going to do a slightly different style build than Rynolee - most of it is the same though! I'm going to use a windshield from Brewers Hardware: http://www.brewershardware.com/12-heat-shield-burner-mount.html They have a rear vent, and...

Fantastic, thanks! I have BG14s, so the windshield will be separate, but that's probably easy enough when I make the HD run for piping. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Getting ready to do this exact same thing with 25 gallon kettles too. Did you have enough stainless left over to put angles in the front as a second heat block, or do the windscreens do a good enough job? Also, did you vent them out the back at all, or was it not necessary? Thanks for the...

Hey all, Another Louisville brewer here and I'm looking to go all grain and get a brew stand. Anyone know any welders in Louisville that do stands? I've been looking, but am apparently horrible at Google or something since I'm getting nowhere. My Old Kentucky Homebrew knows some people that...

I was just saying "top" as a point of reference to the diagram since I was phone posting, so I couldn't generate a terrible MSPaint diagram like the attached one. I know it is vertical and that the water loops, I was just saying that the wort is probably going to go in a straight path from...

I agree that it's an interesting design, but I don't see how wort in the top of that cylinder (top being perspective for the diagram, basically the side without the exit) is getting through. All the moving wort is going to follow the path of least resistance, which is along the bottom, where...

I'f I'm understanding your question properly, you want to separate the two hot terminals on the GFCI to have independent plugs. On a GFCI outlet, you can't split them to have two different switches controlling each outlet. You'll only end up with the line (incoming power) plug protected...

Thank you! That's what I've thought, but my sticking point is that I have like 1300 dollars in amazon gift cards so I am buying a bunch of stuff there and I want to make sure I don't screw the kettle and burner purchases up, especially going NG. I am pretty sure I'm doing 3 BG14s with the...

I am sure this is a really dumb question, but I've been doing a bunch of research on this and the things I am reading are inconclusive. Is there really a difference between the BG14, the Bru and the Blichmann? Or is the entire difference the housing? I'm getting ready to buy the kettles and...

Thanks! I figured out blichmann burners after looking closer at the pictures. 15-15-20 is actually the exact kettle setup I was thinking about. Does that work for most 10 gallon batches and lower OG 1/2 bbl batches? Also how well do the burners work on NG? And any advice that I haven't asked...
