Interesting! Thank you. This is all making much more sense to me now.

Thanks, I figured it wasn't so simple, just thought there might be a way to figure it out but I hadn't really thought about the clasps being part of the calculation. I kept thinking about how my pressure cooker can get up to 15 psi with just a "rattler" weight on top that is nothing but a few...

My Anvil bucket sometimes doesn't seal great, so I put a 10lb. weight plate on it. Recently, I had mistakenly used a gas ball lock fitting with an integrated check valve on the fermenter to get "free" CO2 to purge serving kegs. When I went to correct this issue, I realized there was a good...

Ha ha, yes, that is exactly it. For some reason I completely forgot that with the setup of daisy chained keg purging I was basically going the "wrong" direction through the cornies such that the ball lock's integrated check valve was also going out instead of in through the gas post. The ball...

What is the name of the Dunkel recipe? Is it a dunkelweizen?

You will get better feedback if you provide more details. Post what yeast you are using and you might get very specific advice to that strain instead of general lager answers, particularly if you are trying to ferment under pressure with it. As far as fermenting in a keg, keep in mind that you...

I had a poppet get stuck open with debris this past summer and it made a mess of my garage with root beer... In that situation, I also found out that the picnic taps have some pressure limitations that I had not been previously aware of. My guess is your leak was in the picnic tap, either the...

Here is a visual.

OK, I see how you did it. With that design, I guess you wouldn't need the fan since all the heat should go through the heatsink. I could take a picture, but basically on my box, the fan is exactly where your heat sink is! I hadn't really thought about doing it that way. Neat!

That all makes sense. Thanks for the idea of lighted switches... that might alter my weekend plans. On the fan, I just think (this is a IMHO type of thing) that with a panel, while the heat sink is cooling the SSR, where is the heat actually going from there in your panel box? A cheap 220v fan...

I am not an expert either, but I have built a few panels. One thing I would suggest is going with a higher rated SSR (and related items). While you are fine with using a 25 amp that for the 4k watt boil coil, if you stepped up to a 40 amp version, you would be able to use your panel for the...

Here's one of the videos at 3:43 you can see the bag of liquid Lutra I used it for a Miller Lite clone (requested for a retirement party) and it turned out fine. No unexpected flavors there. Since I saved some of the yeast from that batch's starter, I might give that a go for my next hard...

So I had brewed an 11 gallon batch on Saturday, hooked up three cornies to a gas out post on the CF10 in order to purge them. On the last keg, I put a gas ball lock fitting with the built-in check valve to prevent any suck back from the attached tube going into beaker of starsan (in case it got...

A dip tube brush and a ball lock jumper. Looks like 2022 is my year to clean up!

Wow, this is so great. Count me in please!

@EarlyAmeteurZymurgist, Archi77 is interested, and I would like to be a backup, but we aren't able to PM you. Maybe your account settings would need it to be adjusted? Maybe in "Privacy" adjust "Allow Users to.... Start conversations with you" from "nobody" to "members" if that is the case...

Same here, not trying to cut you off of your dibs!

I would like to be a backup! Let me know.

The duotight tubing (evabarrier) makes balancing much easier. The duotight fittings you would need depends on what type of fittings you currently have on there.

Please post a final product, it definitely looks like an interesting project!
