Make smaller batches

Why not just use small 2'x2' squares to build up your 2'x4' panels? If I had to build a fermentation box I'd build walls out of 2x6 lumber, put fiberglass or roxul in the stud cavities, foam panel on the inside, plywood or drywall on the outside.

My plan was similar to this, haven’t had time to get it done yet. I have a dorm fridge with separate freezer compartment. I drilled two holes in the back and then planned on having an 8”x8” heat exchanger inside the freezer box. Maybe a little fan in there too to move air around. Then use...

How long are the beer lines? Did you consider psi at the tap?

You will likely not find a thermoelectric fridge that can hold even a single 5 gal corny keg. You may be able to find one that fits a 1.75 gallon corny keg. Perhaps a cooler like you would plug in your car. I had a thermoelectric wine chiller once and i wasn’t impressed with its cooling...

My first time growing hops will be this year. Current plan is to get metal trash cans for each variety and use them for basic container gardening. Logic being it would be easier to move plants later. I have a ton of bamboo and will use poles of it for growing hops, but.... has anybody...

For those using spa panel or sub panel with GFCI, have you integrated the brewery controls (PID, buzzers, switches, temp probe receptacle,....) into the enclosure? Seems like most people have the spa panel feed the separate control panel. I was just thinking one box would be preferable to two.

Just wanted to throw this out before I start my build, it makes sense to me, but input is always helpful. I have two 10 gallon coolers for mlt/hlt and it seems like they should be used more than just on brew day. I also have a mini fridge with separate freezer compartment. - Drill holes and...

Get the 240v outside. Do you have other potential 240 applications, like welding or an electric car charging station? I’m planning on going electric soon and right now the design I’m planning has similar equipment to what you listed. I was going to go with a thick bottom welded 15g kettle...

Wondering if anybody has used a stainless steel kitchen sink for an electric HLT or mash tun. I have a short basement and was thinking if I did a three tier gravity that a sink would save a lot in height. Plus they are normally pretty cheap used. The plumbing adapters required might end up...

I'm a novice brewer at best. Just finished brewing a basic extract kit. Have been looking over future equipment. And in consideration of electric vs propane, which is a natural extension of inside vs outside... I think it comes down to where do I want to sit. In the end we are all watching water...
