I am pretty wary of using propane in the basement. I think that I just might build a three piece modular single tier system. that way, I can carry three pieces up from the basement as well as the rest of my brewing equipment. ( my basement is only half a flight of stairs off of the garage.)

Yes, I did not think about the humidity, until I ran across that in a post after i posted this question. :cross: I have tons of room in the basement, but space is extremely limited in my garage. I was just checking out my breaker box, and I will have no problem adding circuits for electric...

Yes, that is why I want to do a single tier...... I guess what I am getting at, is do I want to incorporate heat exchangers, ( and the added expense), or do I want to be more or less plain jane with just the pump??? Should I go ahead and run electric heaters, or should I go ahead and go with...

I have made one batch of all grain so far. I used a 10 gal cooler for my MLT, and a 10 gallon pot. I thought that this worked out pretty good. In the last week, I have come across 3 15.5 gal kegs, that was such a good deal, that I couldn't pass up. The issue I have now, is that I do not have...

I know this is an old post, but I just had my first,( and am having more...) , sawtooth, and it is awesome! I looked here for a clone, so I can make it this weekend:rockin:

I used a 3" air cut off tool. It went really fast. I was able to place the guard against the "lip" at the top, so I didn't have to build a jig. I just followed around the inside of the lip, and mine looks the same as the one pictured without having to build a jig.

Did you mix it up???????

Too many homebrews and your liver will be porous I will take my chance and have another...

I haven't, wish I could tell ya, I need to go grab another pint....

I am drinking an Oatmeal Stout, so I can try to empty this keg to fill it back up again with an IPA

I played quite a few years ago, out of high school. I got back too late to walk on to play football for the university, so I thought I would play Rugby to stay in shape. I eneded up liking rugby more!!!! @ years for the university, and 2 years for a club. Jeff

What about nylon straps with the disconnects??? You know, like on a back pack??? Just a thought, or a strap with two d rings on it like a belt on football pants...... Or, I could be quiet and go back to drinking beer.:cross:

Here is a pic of my ride, and it is continually work in progress. It should explain my name here a little bit.http://www.twistedbinderz.org/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=2

I haven't loked yet, but maybe tractor supply? I know that they carry bulkhead fittings, as we use them at work, or maybe The Parker store??? They both have websites. HTH, Jeff

Amother option for quick disconects would be push lock fittings. Home Depot sells them, ( although the ones they sell are fairly cheaply made), or you can get them from Grainger. They come in 3/8" and and have NPT ends. For those that don't have multiple regulators, they also come in Ts so you...

I think that it sounds interesting as far as flavors go. Think of it as a goumet " red beer". I think that you could have issues brewing it, as a store bought sundries tomato is going to have 1.5 ****loads of salt in it. (Salt kills yeast.) The other issue is that tomatoes are high in citric...

One way to help out with the bitterness, is to use just the "zest" of the lemon. The zest is the yellow part of the exterior of the lemon. Most people try to simply peel the lemon, but this adds bitterness, as the white part, ( the pith) is very bitter. You can buy lemon zesters, ( or zestors )...

I don't know much about whole grain, but did you know that wild rice is actually a type of grass? If you get true wild rice, it will all be black. When you buy Uncle Ben's wild rice, it is a blend of wild rice and white rice. There is almost zero starch content to wild rice.

Dunno for sure what Isomerize means, I am just a dumb ex- certified executive chef. I think that it means to convert to isomeric form. ( whatever that means ) All crystalized or candied ginger is, is ginger that is cooked in a simple syrup. ( sugar and water) until the ginger is candied. This...

Ginger is very potent stuff. Ginger can be bitter, and hot when used in excess. I think that 6 Oz. of ginger would be a lot. If you buy 6 Oz. of fresh ginger, and peel it and then use it, you might be okay, as you will lose some when you peel it, but I would not use any more than 4 oz. Something...
