So last night I soldered a couple bulkheads into my HLT, soldering from the inside. This morning I see that the bulkhead side that's deeper into the HLT, which has lower visibility did not fully melt. The bulkhead is pressed in, so there is good shelf for the solder to sit in. Can I clean...

I'm by no means a sparky or a guy that does well will control systems, mechanical engineer. I have let the electrical engineers design the black box far too long without understanding. Are there any step by step "how to" on making a basic propane control system? I have a preference if the...

WOW, I'm speechless and green! Clean, functional and I'll go as far as beautiful! Congrats and hell of a nice job man.

So recently I upgraded my kettle. So for the old kettle I've made a new chiller with the intention of hard mounting it to the kettle and using it for a manual at first maybe auto later HERMS, whirlpooling when desired and chilling of course. So here's my new chiller. I'm going to solder in...

I recently upgraded my kettle. I’m going to use my old kettle for fix mounting my chiller. My intention is to use it for HERMS, whirlpooling and chilling. Some differences in my design, which you could consider, I’m using copper tubing and I’m soldering a NPT 1/2&#8221...

Nice XB9S, I was a design engineering for Buell before they closed shop, working on the water engines: 1125CR, 1125R and BII.

If you brew Monday, I'll certainly be looking forward to your feedback.

Working on a Wookey Jack clone recipe, which I think I’ll do a 30 min hop stand for. How are you guys estimating your IBUs doing a hop stand? Since FW lists Wookey at 80 IBU, I’m going to target close to that (perhaps drop Magnum to 1oz). Here is my hop bill and BeerSmith numbers: 1.25oz...

I've not made a stand. However, I'm a mechanical engineer working in heavy industry specifically dealing with structures and mainly with the bolted designs, I see a lot of opportunity for improving the load flow making a few small design changes. A simple example, when making a 90 degree...

Looks great! Quick question for either of you, going to solder for the first time some copper pipe. How are you cleaning you post-solder assembly? I saw a guy use carb cleaner, but that stuffs pretty harsh. My work will be small enough to go into the dishwasher, so was thinking about a Dawn...

Kinda a rookie project next to the outstanding creations others post on here. However, still proud. Today I started building my mash tun, which will have a manifold, sparge arm and I'll also be adding a Brewmometer. Using a Coleman Xtreme 36-quart Cooler. Here's the mockup of the manifold...

I'm VERY green!!! Nicely done.

Anyone have additional feedback regarding the success of the recipe? Any recipe adjustments?

Any reason to keep a dedicated glass carboy or is this a strictly plastic only? I'm interested in brewing my first sour, but don't want to cross contaminate.
