Did you backwash some beer through it? I did that once and had to disassemble/wash/rvassemble. Then it worked as normal.

Do you have a picture? It sounds like you have problem with the gage rather than the regulator. You can replace the gage, they're sold at Lowes/HD in the welding section.

Here are some photos of how the top is attached. Using stainless steel 1/4-20 bolts, I simply used the existing hinge that was attached to the previous lid. The chain is there to keep the new lid from 'over-opening'I made a hole next to the hinge for the temperature controller's thermometer...

Here it is with the faucets. Now I can fit a corny on the hump, increasing the capacity from 3 to 4.

Now I've added some black laminate and some insulation... Up next: Faucets...waiting on Fedex

Here is the new top. Made with 5/8" particle board. This shape allows me to store a corny on the compression hump inside the freezer..

Well here is my keezer project. I am waiting for my faucets to arrive. They were originally supposed to arrive tomorrow, but the Fedex tracking now says today.:ban: Here is the freezer... My plan is to replace the top with a new and improved top, equipped with four faucets.

I have a Chugger with the SS head. Works great. If that is out of stock, they offer a plastic version that might suit your needs for now. Then you can replace the head when the SS becomes available.

Both work fine, but I'd prefer Star San for convenience. I like the measurement cup that's part of the Star San container. Kinda like a container of oil for a two-stroke engine.

Thanks Audger. I'm gonna try to brew this weekend. I'll keep an eye on the flow throughout the entire process. I'll post the results.

This was my first batch with the HERMS. I got ~80%.

Thanks. In my last batch, I was able to maintain ~1gal/min during the mash (155F). However, as I began to mash out (~170F), the flowrate began to decrease. This occurred without any adjustment to the pump. Is it typical for the grain bed to "thicken" as the temp rises? I'm thinking that...

What is the proper flowrate for a HERMS? I've read what appears to be conflicting information. With a HERMS, you should target ~1gal/min of flow. However, Palmer's book claims that in order to prevent compacting the grain bed during sparging, you should not exceed 1qt/min. I mash in a 5gal...

How's it going. I am relocating to Williamsport, PA. Do you know of any brewing supply shops or brewing clubs?
