What is your recipe? Do you know your OG?

Is that dip tube diy or by Norcal Brewing Solutions?

That's great! Looking forward to the pictures of your keg cleaner parts and setup.

Can the pump stand the hot water? I read the user guide, it says working water temp up to 90F max.

Regarding to the grape taste in German Lager was mentioned in the link below; https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=26580.0https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=26580.0

Just take the CBD out, clean it, put it back with a short dip tube. What's stopping you?

No worry. I had my Pale Ale in the fermentation bucket for 2 months b4 I had time to put it in my keg. It came out perfect. I'm not saying aging makes it better, I'm emphasizing that if my experience didn't go wrong, you don't need to worry about your delay in bottling.

The cost for each bottle isn't even more?

I think the cost for each can is around 50 cents (not including the cost of can seamer).

Smells good, very smooth, taste like sour gummy bear [emoji106] [emoji106]

I meant the small round ones you bought from Amazon. I guess they are stronger than those from Home Depot, although they both are neodymium.

@mongoose33, in your opinion, are those magnets more powerful that the ones you can buy from Home Depot?

?? You are using 3V keggles, don't you know the limitation of 15 gallon kettle?? Not saying that 15 gallon kettle can't handle 10 gallon batch with 5-7% ABV. Just wondering why you are asking a question which you have had the experience already.

It is not just the size of the kettle, the total weight with water and grain can be too much for a residential stove top to handle. Besides, power is another concern. For a 5 gallons batch, can your natural gas stove top get to a rolling boil with at least 6.5 gallons of wort in a reasonable...

A 10 gallons kettle may be too big for your kitchen stove top. What is the batch size you want?

What is your heat source?

Turn the fridge on, feel if the freezer partition is cold. I guess that only the top (ceiling) of the fridge is cold. I would just cut the partition out if I were you.

I won't suggest any beginner to buy a Beginner's 5 Gallons Brewing Kit. I consider those kits are a waste of $. I would suggest any beginner to jump right in "All Grain Brewing" using your stove top in your kitchen. A reasonable batch size is 2.5 to 3 gallons. Get yourself a 6 gallons (24 Qt)...

You need to test and see how much temperature would it drop after 60 minutes mash using hot water only, not with grain. To keep the bucket warm, you can put the bucket in a tub or a bigger plastic tote which is filled with hot water as well. Do you get the idea?

Find a recipe first, then scale down to your system. Your batch size is limited by your boil kettle. You may not be able to make a 2 gallons batch with it. Just for boiling wort, you need to factor in your boil off rate, and you can't have 3 gallons of wort to start with because of boil over...
