Not sure how well water would work, but I have used fine grain sand to bend 1" steel tubing before with great success. And all you need to do is duct tape the ends

If anyone is wondering (I know I was before doing this) here's a couple things I have learned from soldering my kegs: You can make a nippling tool by tightening a coupler on the end of a bolt with some washers and nuts, putting the bolt in a drill press, and using an angle grinder with a...

Joined to participate, thanks for all the info so far, watch the DIY section for pictures of my Kal inspired E-HERMS system. I hope I win something, haha.

The probes I got with my PID are pretty short, so I got the half coupler so they would be sensing in the kettle instead of in the fitting. They're also M8x1.0 threads, so I have to make my own fitting out of a plug (drill and tap a hole). I like the idea of putting the whirlpool fitting at the...

I have 3 fresh keggles that I just finished polishing to a mirror finish. I am going to be drilling the holes, nippling them. and soldering in the couplers tomorrow as follows: Mash Tun Sparage arm False bottom center dip tube HLT Whirpool arm -Mounted at the highest point in...

I am designing and building an electric HERMS system and looking into all the fittings and such right now. False bottoms are expensive.. Has anyone used a massive grain bag, like the whole size of the keggle and a standard center dip tube instead of a false bottom? It would make cleanup...

Why don't you just run the auto-tune program? It should set everything perfectly to absolutely nail the temp every time.

Thanks so much for the explanation.

Why a quarter? And do you risk damaging anything by running it at a lower voltage?

Looks awesome! I have been toying with the idea of getting a 220v coil and running it at 110v for the time being until I can run the proper electric line to feed it. What do you expect to get out of it running at 110.. Where did you get it and what model is it? Alex.
