    started my first brewing build today!

    yes, you are absolutely right! Took my cart home for some testing and use for the weekend and watched them bow until they touched each other... but the story starts when I got home with the cart and flipped it upside down while trying to get it off the truck myself. It rolled over and crushed...

    Do you consider blow-off tubes essential?

    Corny keg level gauge

    has anyone ever silver soldered, or welded in a sight glass to a keg? sounds like a project... better yet a float switch incorporated to the last few inches of the keg, like a fuel ascending unit in a cars gas tank... just thinking...

    started my first brewing build today!

    Ok, so I started work on the burners this week. I added a wind shield, and electric spark igniter. I made a mount to fit the two bolts under the burner that holds the two castings together. Used some huge all-thread I found in my shop to mount the burners. With the all-thread mounts I can raise...

    Using ice to bend tubing

    I have used sand inside of 1" steal pipe. I packed it in tight and plugged both ends. then I heated the pipe in 1" sections to cherry red and bent them to follow a template I made for the shape I wanted... The sand inside the pipe will hold the pipe open and keep it from pinching. It's allot of...

    started my first brewing build today!

    I have a bayou classic 10 gallon mash tun and a bayou classic 16 gallon kettle that can also be a mash tun. A chugger pump, and an immersion chiller that I made. I've done two all grain brews with what I have and I'm gonna take the plunge and grow my equipment up a step... Also considering...

    What's wrong with my hop plant?

    I really don't know the answer but, I "feel/ look" like that when I need a beer! Maybe you should poor one for your homies and your hop plant to make it feel better... :mug:

    Persistent infection nightmare

    yes, I agree with the grain milling. that needs to be done in a completely separate area. also I have heard of problems in the kitchen where a wife would make home made sourdough bread in the kitchen and the husband kept getting infected batches of beer. the problem went away when the husband...

    Copper coil? Anyone use this?

    the thin walls of that tubing will actually exchange heat better then a thicker copper... also, when I did mine I boiled it with a vinegar and water solution before using it in my brew... the vinegar and heat helped brighten and clean the new copper. I didn't want any extra contamination in...

    Splice off of an existing 30 Amp run?

    I'd say make up an extention cord to run out to your brew set up. Un plug the drier and plug In the brew while needed, then roll up your cord when you are done...at least that way your not dealing with permits or altering your wiring to the house. Otherwise I would just pull a dedicated gfI...
