I don't think so; that's 1°C to +60°C. My bet is that the plastic would crack way before it gets to -60°C. How often do you pump ice?

I haven't run BLC with my pump, but always run PBW after use, followed by water and Starsan rinse. It is widely used in industry, scientific research, aerospace industry Max circulating water temperature: 100°C 4.The pump is suitable for medium temperature 1 ℃ -60 ℃. I'd be a little wary...

This past weekend, I have been blessed to spend time with my loving wife, sons and friends, and to be able to drink my homebrew and many excellent craft beers. And I'm thankful to live in a world better off than a year ago in spite of all the negativity.

Damn, I can't believe I missed this. Had been waiting to buy a new bag to replace my 3 1/2 year old wilser bag. Did HBT just recently remove the new thread sidebar, or have I changed my personal settings? I always check the recent posts and the Sponsor Showcase when I'm on the site, which I...

Glad you got it all figured out. That Bud box looks good. I assume the KBWD16 is inside. Looking forward to seeing it once you get it all mounted.

Thanks. Got my code overnight and have placed my order. Looking forward to checking this out.

I started out trying to do exactly what you did, cyber, but I think finding both a decent motor and reducer for $70 shipped is pretty rare. Congratulations, you did damn well (and got quite lucky). At probably 50 lb or more total, unless you find them locally, you might pay that much just for...

Yeah, I thought I was going crazy, like I hadn't read your whole response. But then I realized that I had quoted you, and it wasn't all there. That little video definitely makes it clear (I hope). Good luck. Can't wait to see it once you get it all done. I feel like a proud Mama. :)

The black circles really just symbolize the switches, but yes, there is one terminal per circle. The 2 on the left are the center terminals on the switch, referred to as the commons, since they connect to the 2 poles of each switch. Just wire those to A1 & A2. If you get the switch in hand...

I can't answer for The_Bishop, but you're almost certainly guaranteed to have to shim one or the other. The alignment needs to be pretty precise unless you want to wear out your mill bearings/bushings or motor, so you'd have to be pretty lucky to have them align without any adjustment. I had...

I don't have have experience with any of these, but will voice an opinion and some advice. First, in general, a 12mm coupler probably wouldn't fit on a 1/2" round shaft, but the shaft on the MM3 (assumed, based on my MM2's 1/2" shaft) has 3 flats on it, so a 12mm size may fit. But if it...

I'm ready to give it a try too.

Sorry, I just spent 45 minutes giving you the child-speak response and accidentally lost it. Don't have the time or patience to do t again. Here's some quick answers: Put a screw in the threaded hole to connect the grounds to the chassis. Yes, twist the 3 color wires together. Switches...

Sorry, Gadjobrinus. Can't always be on call to respond to HBT forums. :) Correct on the motor connections. More on the ground below. The ground from your power cord is usually green, connected to the round ground pin on your 3-wire plug. If the KBWD-16 has a metal chassis, then you'd connect...

If you call 20% faster (60/50) a tic. :)

Used to check CL regularly, but my company now blocks it, so I don't remember to check as often. I do have some keyword alerts set up. Some pretty good deals as long as things were in good shape - especially the kegs if you're good with pin locks. Will have to look into Letgo and Offerup. My...

OK, here are some pictures of my mill stand. This is an old butcher block microwave stand my wife had bought for ~$15 on CL or a local thrift store. I moved the bottom shelf up so that I have only ~1/8" clearance from a 7G brew bucket to keep dust down. I aligned everything on the diagonal so...

RDWHAHB (aka, chill) :) You're good. You're going to crimp or solder some spade lugs onto 16AWG or preferably 14AWG wire to apply the DC voltage to the motor armature. The DC voltage is applied between the unlabeled screw terminal and the CW one. Then, you'll connect an earth ground...

Definitely, if you neglect your time and gas money. You have to be the judge regarding those.

Also, if you're an AHA member, you should already have the Brew Guru app on your phone. No, it doesn't provide a lot of feedback on each place, but it is absolutely one of the best apps I have used. Read Tim's guide and then use the app to see where everything is and to get AHA discounts at...
