stupid physics! :)

i put a brick under each leg of my burner and it was enough of a height increase to solve the siphon problem. I forgot about the tubing adding to the effectiveness of the siphon, problem solved!

i guess i will try that then. I do have a couple spears left over after the keg conversion. Or else i will try the orange cap idea and see how well that works.

why do that keep making your own beer and save money/taxes. :rockin: When you do buy get craft beer and boycott the big three. Its sad though that this will just hurt developing craftbrewries and new business. I'm really surprised though that people don't at least try and make their own beer...

Thats a good point.

that's cool I would like to see pictures. And that you can use the spear without screwing it in, I'm surprised it works with the pressure. I guess since the pressure is only 2-4 psi and a sanke is usually a lot higher psi.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/siphon-inside-keggle-doesnt-work-127177/index2.html I made a double thread here is the main one.

I think i'll get a few bricks and raise the kettle up a little. The tube is forced on top of the t- join with the top of the T open during the drain. Do you think the open top hurts? I was planning on pouring a couple of runs through it during mash out so that i could clarify the wort.

so you've tried what i wanted to do with the boil kettle and a siphon?

Yeah its the flexability of the tube that creates the vaccum I guess this will work then when I can clamp down the ends So I can fill up some kegs

Yeah I pushed it back down so it does not angle out. Shouldn't the height not make a difference since the vaccum should just contineue to pull out water since the seal between the bottom and the end of the spigot is not broken. this is the bottom of my boil kettle

here is a bigger picture. The welds are water tight.

I was thinking about using a auto siphon (like the ones for carboys) to help pump out the water by connecting a tube from the spigot to the bottom of the pump. I'm was gonna do this on my bk since the temp will be alot lower but I know you can't use it with really hot water. I was maybe...

óh also on the bottlom i cleaned up that rust on the edge with a brush. How long does SS have to wait before it rebuilds its protective cover, a week?

I don't know why its not siphoning out the last parts of water? Its has a 90 degree bend and is part of a 3 tier system. Should the kettle be a little higher? I thaught that it would create a vaccum from draining out a full kettle and be fine even though there is not much of a height change

I am planning on building my bk so that that chiller is built inside ( it can be removed but I don't want to do that very much) and stays during the whole boil. I keep hearing about how its not good for the acidic wort to be incontact with the copper for that long. Has anyone done this? Also...

Take a look at this idea: Morebeer's Brew Chat • View topic - Transfer from Fermenter to Kegs and 2L bottle I think I'm gonna try doing something like this for my primary, to secondary, to serving keg. In order to have a semi-closed system. Do you have any tips on how to harvest...

Thanks. Thats a cool setup.h

on a lower psi it doesn't go through all the tubes though. Do you think I should put more? its only gonna be gravity feed.
