I thought about a single tree trunk type of design but got nervous about the amount of weight possibly unbalancing as water was moved around. 3 empty kegs but with 15-20 gallons of boiling hot water and hot mash moving from front to side to back, etc. inserting and removing kegs and pots to...

PMB? Do you mean PBW? PBW is an outstanding cleanser, not a sanitzer. Use interchangeably with OxyClean or cleanser One Step. Clean with PBW, rinse, sanitze with another product.

You could do it by moving the air. Put the taps into a larger line like a 3" PVC pipe that has a return. Insulate the pipe on the outside. Put a computer fan pushing cold air through the pipe, keeping the beer lines a little cooler. It might work. Won't cost too much.

O2 obsorption, like any gas, is going to depend on the temperature of the liquid. The lower the temp, the better the O2 will dissolve in the liquid.

Hey, Russ, PM me. We commonly do open brew sessions with people stopping in and, I currently don't have a brew partner. It's a lot easier than rebuilding a carb.

I have and use one of those from by cajun cooker with a standard portable propane tank. I had your problem with one of my 3 burners. The screw in the center of the burner is used to adjust some of the air/fuel mix. There is also an adjustment at the end where the propane line plugs in. It...

Yeah, I'm going to keep on eye on this thread. It looks very promising for building anything larger that needs temp control, wine cellar, fermentation "shed", storage, etc.

I like the price on that temp controller but, you're right, that probe is really short.

Yeah, I used that same one for years. I still have it and use it as a backup. As fineexampl says, it'll take some adjusting but for your application, there's no reason to spend any more.

Sorry, too obscure a joke, you misspelled "Rubbermaid". the whole thing was to be amusing. My wife's a dentist too, we're all just in the practical organic chemistry field. Bottom line is that if you are completely satisfied with your brewing, there's no reason to make any changes whatsoever...

1) It is always time to redesign your system. No matter how good it is because, it is always a good time to redesign your system. 2) Possibility of infection with that open and complex cooling process you have. 3) If yer brewin' 6 gallons and can keep 7 taps goin' you ain't drinkin' enuff...

Popcorn! Yeah, sounds good. We've got a stack of good brewers here. My truck was a '59 Chevy Apache Fleetside Long Wheel Base Also had a '56 Willys wagon. No space in the garage for a project now, unless I give up brewing (my wife would shoot me), maybe in a few years.

Hey BB, I noted your name and wondered if you were from the area. I absolutely can show him the ropes, plus, I used to be a gearhead - musclecars baby! There's a very nice active club here, we can get him setup.

No, I don't. When my brew buddy moved, he got that part. Just picture taking a paper towel roll, cut a slit a few inches long up the length of the tube, starting from the end, then another cut crossing the "T" so you can lay it out flat like you are flaying open a fish. The top of the tube...

Turned them into mash paddles by slitting them open and spreading them out flat except for a handle area.

Excellent, thanks. Done. Gentlemen, thanks for the productive hijack. We will now return to our regularly scheduled mod.

Hey Walter, I got a pump from my wife for Christmas and there was no warranty card. What's my best option here? It was a new pump purchase from Rebel Brewer.

What brand monkey are you using? and what do they charge for shipping? : )

Ok, so the contact area between the 2 is too small to get a good seal. Lets take another tack. Try taking a flat sheet and sealing it against the pot with a gasket. Take another flat gasket and use it to make a seal with the sheet against the funnel. That you re now making a seal against the...

Sweet job. Now you've got me considering cleaning up mine so it can go in my sunroom. That's a very professional looking job.
