I knew I wasn't crazy. Not that this proves that ... You're sane, right?

Hope you like it. It's the one thing in my setup I splurged on and I have no regrets. The noise level + speed at which it works were good selling points. After one session I got the standing legs to go with it (ordered through LHBS so no shipping). Almost no lifting anymore, my back is thankful...

Is it just me, or do those pull rings tend to get in the way every time you try to close a camlock? I've taken them off at least half of my camlocks, and have been trying to decide which is worse: closing the cams with the rings in place, or opening the cams with the rings removed. So far...

Yoop, is your CFC already threaded on the wort ends? If so you can ignore the rest of this. Earlier this year I modified mine so I wasn't using tube clamps anymore. I only had 1/4" copper pipe coming out of the CFC. I wanted to sweat on some adapters but couldn't get the right size locally so...

Looking to upgrade? Or are you new to legging?

If you answered this I missed it - what yeast did you use initially? Did you make a starter or rehydrate or just pitch as is?

I don't aerate. And I don't do starters. I brew 5 gallon batches. I'm sure somewhere that'll catch up to me. But until then, simplicity is bliss.

Why place the fermwrap on the floor? It was my understanding fermwraps needed space around their outside so they didn't overheat. Is that true or an overblown concern?

Stumbled onto two boxes of 22ozs recently from Craigslist. Not as good as free, but can't complain. Less than half the cost as new and from a home brewer who was moving, so they were clean. It's also an excuse to pick up some different 22's from the store. Unfortunately, the price on those...

At the risk of reviving a dead thread over accuracy, the wall thickness depends on the pot size. For example, from Northern Brewer, 10 gallons is 0.8mm while 15 gallons is 1.0mm. 15 gallon 10 gallon

Glad to hear. I'm hoping to start very soon today on a somewhat similar recipe, give or take 1# on the base malts and Vienna instead of crystal. Targeting 32 IBUs. Not normally a wheat fan but some recent mildly hoppy wheat pale ales inspired me.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look these places up.

Did you make this? How'd it turn out?

?? You sent me a PM yesterday at 7am saying the burner and chiller were available and I could pick them up today. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see you're getting rid of stuff, communications just a little frustrating. Good luck on the move.

I'm still waiting for your address. Also, the items we arranged a pickup for are no longer listed, is that because they're pending to me or have you sold them to someone else? Are you still honoring your offer of $100 for the set? Please reply to my PM with an address and phone number. Thanks.

I'm going to be in Indianapolis for a couple days. If you could only stop by one brewery, which would it be? What about two? Also, it will help if the place allows kids. If you're not sure if a place fits that bill, suggest it anyway. Or if you know some place does not, it'd be great to know...

I've stumbled on a grab bag of parts that I no longer use. A couple elbow bends. Two nipples. A few connectors. See the picture. I believe they're all 1/2". If you want me to double check anything, just let me know. One of the elbows and one of the adapters are reducers. Two of the nuts are...

Unfortunately I don't have an air compressor. Briefly considered picking one up but not sure I can justify. I've been doing the boiling-water after & again before brewing. May stick with that for now. May just construct my own spinner so I can make sure it's dry or at least doesn't have sitting...

Seems like no matter how often I turn my CFC end over end there's always liquid left behind after I use it. Anybody got any creative solutions? I've been thinking about putting it in a hose reel and setting it spinning. If I can get it to fit.
