    AC to DC conversion / small gearbox

    Claudius, I am planning on 5 positions at 1.5 rpms. That would allow me to run the alarm for 8 seconds for each position. It's just an idea and may not work. I was lucky in that I did find the 120vac 1.5rpm motor online last night for $12. The turntable will be two round sheets of PVC at...

    AC to DC conversion / small gearbox

    Mine will be controlled by the hot wire output from my alarm on my timer(in theory). I will have to position my drop cups based on the distance the lazy Susan travels over the alarm cycle. It should be a simple operation. It will take some trial and error before I cut the cups out. I have a...

    AC to DC conversion / small gearbox

    Hoping you guys can help me. I am looking to make an automatic hop dropper that will drop my hops into the boil via rotating disc. Think lazy susan with a hole in it. Two questions: What is the best way to convert AC to DC for a small hobby style gearbox/motor? Also, what gear...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Chris, what did you cut the plastic sheet with? I think I am going that route. Beer was fine this time despite a non air tight seal, but I just don't always trust it. I don't need the glycol since I have a duel controlled roll in chamber in my garage Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Tricky, it was that same gasket. At first I thought it was air tight, but after actually fermenting in it the smell of fermentation was so strong in my fermentation chamber while the blowoff hose was silent. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    Ok. Still have an issue. I can smell the co2 through the top. I may not have enough silicone under the female screw on piece of the top. Really pissed now that I may have 13 gallons of wasted Rye. Hopefully there will be enough of a co2 blanket to protect the beer.

    Are Pubkegs on Their Way Out?

    You buy the bladders each time at $8 per. You can buy the kegs direct from the producer for about $24 per. Local brewery in Georgia called Burnt Hickory was using them and I have seen them at the brewery at Terrapin, but not in production. If you have to buy the bladder each time I would say...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    No glycol for me yet. I have a roll in fermentation chamber (cool side only). I have not fermented in this one since I received the new gasket. Hopefully Sunday!

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    I used the 3/4. It's a snug fit. Still allows room to screw the lid on and get plenty if grip.

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    I received the seal yesterday. Bit fits perfectly on the top. However, you still have to take the inside threaded ring off to apply silicone as before. Luckily, I had already completed this task. I applied forced air from my compressor and it appears as if there are no leaks. The true test...
