I use the high temp silicone stuff. Not sure what the flexible PVC tubing at the big box stores is rated for, but worth checking out. Otherwise, look for the silicone stuff at morebeer northernbrewer, tylersbrewing.com, etc.

A couple of hoses and at least three hose clamps. A pair of garden hoses to run the water. That's about it. Now, if you've got a pump, the answer gets a little longer.

J. Marshall Brewing Company. Or the J. Marshall Brewing and Bait Company. Or the J. Marshall Brewing and Tackle Company Allegheny is a cool name, but it looks like it is spoken for. Using your name may be your best bet. Coming up with brewery names is a frustrating process with as many...

+1. 10' of line at 38 with 10-12 psi or 15 psi on hefes works like a charm. I tried to use math to be exact, but this works better than math for me. :)

To keep it relatively straight forward, for your purposes, the differences are two fold. 1. It will require a different coupler to push beer out of a sanke keg. 2. Accessing the sanke to add beer or clean it will most likely require that you remove the spear. This isn't difficult, but it...

I use a pair of Blichmann TOP controllers. Standing pilot should work well. These burners have a hole in the base for running a pilot (I use it to bolt them to the stand). As for the regulators, I wouldn't know. I run natural gas straight from the meter through 3/4" pipe/hose, and reduce it...

Looks like a boiler to me.

If you plan to temperature control using a spark ignitor consider using one of the cast iron ring burners. The jet burners do great at putting out heat, but getting that gap just right with a spark ignitor on a jet burner can be tricky. I finally got my 20 tip burners to be reliable on...

Asparagus steamer and a couple of weldless fittings ought to do it. Be sure to take pictures!

I use one of the 2" TC siphon kits with a SANKE keg. Works fine, but I have gone with a silicone o-ring over the typical TC gasket because the o-rings seem to be more robust. Doing it as a bottom drain would require some cutting, which I was not in the mood to do. It also requires a...

I had a new system built after brewing with my friend in his pro brewery. He has a grant with no float switch. Like you said, it serves as a buffer between pump and MLT. It also serves as a handy place for him to collect wort samples to check pH, gravity, etc. Apart from that, I don't think...

Considering the amount of room you have between your false bottom and the edge of the cooler, I'd suggest skipping the cord stock and buying some 3/8" silicone hose. Slice it down one side and slide it around the edge of the false bottom. The cord stock works in my setup because my false...

I have one of the Italian 15 gallon cornys, and the posts are standard Cornelius. Poppets should be pretty easy to find unless these are different. Call them and ask.

I think they're about $23 if I recall correctly. I batch sparge. So I don't need the sprayers. I have been using the regular loc-line I bought from you some time ago, and it works well. But if I were to do the sprayer, your method makes sense. Just break down the regular lock line and...

In 2010, these were the preliminary books sent before beginning the American Brewer's Guild course. Brewing by Young and Lewis, Chapman and Hall Textbook of Brewing by Jean de Clerk A 3 volume practical handbook for the specialty brewer: 1. Raw Materials and Brewhouse Operations 2...

For a sparge arm that gives a shower effect, this seems ready made for that purpose. For recirculation of wort, however, I would just run a separate section of open ended loc-line and switch them out as needed. They pop off the pipe threaded piece really easily.

That's what I did as well. Of course, when I had the Blichmann TOP ASCO valves put on there, they squashed two of the lines down to 3/8". But those are the ones that heat the HLT and MLT. So it's not really slowing me down too much. But you can definitely tell the difference between those...

Or, if it's freezing up, you can try setting the tank in a tub of water. If you're using a banjo burner, they can freeze a tank up in the summer in Texas (or at least mine did). Haven't thought about it in a while since going NG.

Really, I'm pretty sure my jet/wok burners have 1/2" thread. Mine are the 20 tip, but pretty much the same. Link to Burner

I have a 2" box steel 1/8" thick and it is a beast. It is plenty for my puny 20 gallon kettles and, I estimate, it could hold 4x as much. It is a heavy sonuvagun (from my experience lifting it out of the truck and screaming like a girl while I did). The stand is 74" wide x 24" deep. I have a...
