I'm building a new brewery, and before going ahead with purchasing new equipment, figured I'd see if anyone is looking to offload some extra stuff. I need 2-3 ball valves, various camlocks (both male and female threaded), etc. please post or send me a message if you have anything you'd be...

any more info on the keggle? feel free to message me directly if you prefer, i'm somewhat local (college park)

Unless the rules changed, I'm pretty sure we can't talk about distilling... So by keg still you meant brew keggle right? You want to use two 120v 1500w simultaneously in your brew kettle... Right? There's a number of different ways to do this for homebrewing beer, if you want to just be able to...

I have a somewhat hairbrained idea of using a keg with the top uncut, connecting a tc to the top with an instrument t. Cap on the top for hop additions, steam out the side of the T... But there's a lot of other issues to consider so the easiest thing is likely to copy your setup with a normal...

Hopefully I didn't miss this being discussed already, but is the proximity of the spray nozzle to the steam source(kettle) important? Or, to ask in another way, other than the extra $$ for more stainless plumbing, what do you guys think of having this setup mounted a few feet away from the BK...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HMCYV80/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This has been recommended elsewhere. Likely need 2 of them to fit the 4 ssr if i go this route (I realize the pump SSR's won't put out much heat but still want to keep it consistent). alternatively...

We are only planning on staying in this house another 3-4 years and I already have tons of renovations that I need to do, so don't want to run 220 anywhere else in this house, but did have quite an easy time moving the 220v service from one side of the laundry room to the other because of...

Well that changes things then. I guess a larger heatsink on the top of the box is in my immediate future. Thanks!

Do you have direct experience with them? most of what i've seen has been anecdotal, or second hand reports... i'm not opposed to getting a different heatsink... just figured i'd get some first hand experience to base it on.

Thanks for the feedback, I was debating wiring the pi outlet before or after the main power contactor, but now think I'll go ahead and do it before. This will be the only live connection that isn't through a contactor, but I think it'll be fine since it's all inside the box. I'm going to do...

Enclosure Layout/design My Yuco 16x16x6 enclosure came today, and I started laying out the components. This is just a quick draft version, i didn't measure or mark anything. back plate is covered in blue painters tape for when i DO start setting the final layout, wanted to get some feedback...

spa panel wiring and setup I decided to use a 50a spa panel for GFCI protection, and because i'm not planning on being in this house forever so want something i can easily take with me, compared to replacing the breaker in my main panel with a GFCI breaker. i got away with doing some work on...

so... i figured it's about time for a build thread. i'll be adding to this as i go along, and it'll be a slow build, due to a number of factors including a toddler and infant at home, waiting for parts to come in (some from China, some waiting for items to get back in stock) but wanted to at...

i don't remove to clean any more, but had in the past, and could have messed up the O ring a bit back in the day, but always seemed to have problems walking a tight line between a small leak and some movement of the fitting. to be fair i may have slightly ovaled/ bent the hole when drilling as...

yeah i've made up my mind re: using the TC elements, just waiting on the brewhardware radius faced solder flanges to get back in stock (since it looks like they're the only supplier of these?), no response to my poke up in post #7 (not that i expect any, he's likely a busy guy) so the wait...

thanks, i'm going with a 16x16x6 enclosure, should be here tuesday, though as i have an infant and a toddler at home, build progress will be slow ( i justified the electric build by "if i can brew inside, instead of on my propane BIAB system, maybe i'll be able to get back to brewing more often...

this is an extremely interesting thread. I to am eagerly awaiting results from the test batches, though don't really brew a lot of lagers and helles, so it may not matter as much to me. I'll likely try buy a flat lid for my keggle that i could cut in half and solder some stainless hinges in...

Someone didn't call 811!

This has been discussed a lot... Like here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/3-wire-spa-gfi-control-box.577754/. Basically, it's not to code if it's hardwired in to the house. If the spa panel is wired to a plug, it's treated as an appliance, not a sub panel so it's "ok" (just like how...

I replaced my dryer outlet to have 4 wire service to plug in my spa panel so have not done this myself, but I believe you wire everything up as normal and put a jumper between ground and neutral in the spa panel. Similarly to how you bond ground to neutral in the dryer when using a 3 wire plug...
