Drip tray has no drain as I didn't want to have to complicate the inside with drilling another hole and running more tubing. My plan is to just mop it out when needed with a bar rag. The backs plash tile I got at Home depot. Not self-adhesive, but it was on a mesh netting. I used a...

Hey smarch0, Thanks for posting your build. I ripped it off in damn near every way! About the only thing I did differently was to use a 2-part pour epoxy on top. I embedded some grains, hops, and a drip tray in the epoxy.

I can't believe I just found this thread. I've made plenty of epic bonehead moves. The ones where I didn't have to dump: Exploded what I figured was the entire krausen out of my dunkle. Got home from work on monday after brewing Sunday. The airlock was clogged and audibly hissing. I pull the...

Interesting build, 2 questions: 1. Whats with the expanded foam around the c02 tank? 2. Whats the copper manifold for?

Holy ****.

NECROMANCER!!!! Any update on the wire diagram? Looking to wire mine up today and would rather bypass the thermo so I can use the light wiring to power a fan...

Progress! Spoke to Joe from General Welding Supply http://www.gwsco.com/ R-Size Cylinder filled with G-Mix = $98 Mission Accomplished. Going to probably call a few more welding supply Co's to see if I can find a cheaper or closer (~20 min drive)

Apparently that was the wrong size. Good News! R-Size is $76.48 Empty! Bad News! The Location is not where its listed on Google maps! The closest place is +1hour drive each way! Good News! They Deliver! Bad News! +$16.50 Deliver +$9 Hazmat Surcharge +$Fuel charge! AND they have problems...

Holy Crap. They Want $172.50 for an Empty "Q-Size" (5lbs) Cylinder!!! The search continues!

Looks Like there is a Praxair reasonably close by. I'll drop them a line! Thanks!

Seems like people want a bloody fortune for them. I've seen $150 shipped! I'm trying to get my stout on Nitro for the weekend and found a nice kit quasi local but I can't seem to find a damned cylinder! Made some calls today and found a 60 LB cylinder for nearly $250 bucks but that's a LOT of...

Took a reading two weeks or so ago and it was down to 1.028. I gave it stir and let it sit. It started bubbling again last week. Gave it a reading today and were down to 1.014!! It tastes awesome, smells delicious, and is going into bottles tonight!

Trying to make my goals for the year (60 Gallons) so I'll be squeezing this one it, Hitting My LHBS to pick up the goods for this one. Planning on Brewing it Sunday using a small sample for a starter then pitching that on Monday. This will be my 3rd AG (All this month!) The prior two went...

Fired this one up yesterday for my second AG. I mashed with 4 gallons and sparged with another 4. I had a lot more loss during mash because I ended up with just under 6 in my pot. I added about another gallon. I think I also lost more due to evap since it was colder with a nice breeze since I...

I recently received a 10gallon aluminum pot for my bday from my woman. I didn't oxidize it like whats being recommended here and other place. I washed it out with soap and a scrub/sponge thing, and noticed the water turned GRAY. I knew that wouldn't be good for the beer so I did scrub it a bit...

Looks awesome. Can you provide some more info on the plc's and the software? What did you write the software in?

I've been trying not to baby it too much and just let it do its thing. I Also Brewed a Dunkel and a Bitters last weekend and a APA this weekend so I've had a good amount of distraction!

Its going well. I'm down to 1.022ish and the taste has dramatically improved. I'm planning on sampling it again today for a grav reading. I had moved the carboy upstairs which brought the temp up into the low 70's. I had wrapped it in a electric blanket and a bath robe and tried to bring it up...

Picked up the 3711 Sunday. Finished the stir plate Monday and fired up the starter. Pitched the starter last night at about 11pm. A thin white krausen has formed and the air lock is bubbling. I know the air lock bubbling doesn't necessarily mean much. I'll take a grav reading this weekend and...

Thanks for all the help fellas. I'm going to hit my local homebrew store today and see if they carry the 3711 and fire up a starter.
