That would likely work.. but If you're at all handy, or can follow instructions, I can't recommend enough using pull-through/soldered fittings at brewhardware.com https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=556844 bulkhead fittings tend to be a pain -- breaking them down, putting them...

cutco knives are generally fantastic (imho) -- looks like I need to expand my set some.

lots of things going on here. :rockin: I'm no expert, so take with a grain of salt. it is definitely a possibility that you could have many contributing factors going on. since you're getting stuck sparges your mash temp controll problem could be due to a lack of flow through the...

I'm not an expert, but making a starter the night before a brew doesn't seem like you'll have enough time to make it worth it, even with a stir plate. it usually takes 24hr or so for me to get a good cold-crash after the yeast do their thing for a couple days. the yeast may do the...

bazooka screen is just a stainless steel woven mesh.. here is a quickie video that shows how to make one out of a SS reinforced water supply line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Goi0KHx9Ss and here is an example of a purpose-made one...

I'm interested to see how you plan to separate the beads from your spent grain.

Count me in for multiple bottles. I got 3x5lb because it is so convenient to use co2 for stuff but so inconvenient to refill.

I have no idea, but pics would be nice..

I'm in

I'd sure be interested to see the details of your system.. it looks like where I intend to go. though I do have to qualify, I'm not the OP and I don't intend to run a pro-level brewery. :tank:

For my loop i used a standard gate valve to restrict the flow from the supply side to the return side so that i could have one pump running continuously to circulate glycol in the chiller and so that the relative pressure on the supply side would bias flow through the valves when they open...

I've no experience with the size system you are talking about. I currently ferment in 15.5g Sanke kegs using a glycol chiller loop for temp control. (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=8013716) essentially I do exactly what you have described. I have my chiller constantly pumping...

I finished my first two batches through the glycol controlled system. not without troubles unfortunately. First off I have to give props to the coolzone brew jacket. That thing works like a champ! it's easy to put on, easy to hook up, easy to take off.. just easy overall. a word of...

+1 to this. Love my cam locks

5l erlenmeyer flask. Woot

definitely dont run these pumps dry

Generally i run water through mine. I use one pump exclusively for sparge water so no cleaning really necessary. The other i use for pumping wort and recirculation for cooling. I run water through for a couple minutes to flush. I'll take them apart every couple brews for a good cleaning...
