Ok went shopping.
60' 1/4 ID copper. ($45)
6" x 2' stove HVAC pipe ($4)
6" chimney rain cap ($7)
8" to 6" reducer (for base) ($7)
6" male x male adapter ($2)
Have to check what size pvc I have in the basement for wrapping. But before that I have another question.
Currently i have...
Well the good news is that I still have a prechiller full of lead and not a HTL full of it.
Got to wrap my head around this thread some more to figure out how to build this. So my options are 3 in coil going up and 4in coil going down vs an engineered clover leaf pattern.
Why did I build a keggle HLT? This is much better. To piggy back on the plate chiller idea, <cough> I have prechiller that is an Impala Heater core (yes this is for a car) that <cough> might work. The heater core costs $28 at auto nation and looks like copper. Only issue I see is tubing and...
I am think of jumping on the band wagon on this. I have read through the thread a few times. Do any of the implementers have any new thoughts or insights on how to make one of these if you had to do it over? Also where did everyone purchase there tank from?
Debating...
My Mash Tun Cooler is starting to melt when I upgraded to 10G batches due to closeness to burner and longer burner usage. I am using a gravity metal shelf stand with 18x18 shelves. Would adding a windscreen reflect heat away from the cooler? Was thinking of trying flashing or hvac ducts.
Ran 23 pounds through this contraption and ran into a slight problem. On the side with the gears there is a hole by the roller. When milling, this roller goes back and worth some (note the mill gap is still constant). Net result:
1. Grains drops straight down.
2. Grain kicks into the side...

Finally brewed something and the tube and mesh combo worked great.
Actual I used the mesh also in the brew kettle and the wort chiller dented it. (it also clogged as well). I might use a stub of copper tube there as well in addition to a hop bag.
Thanks for the thread. Did my first AG brew today using this pasta maker device. A few suggestions for those reading:
1. (as said before) Mare up the rollers until it looks like it will hurt/cut you fingers when you run them across it. Had to take my rig apart to remare them because it...
I order two all grains kit from them 2 weeks ago. No kits and no replies to emails.
Purchased a super chiller 3 months, fast delivery, had an issue and they resolved the issue promptly.
I think things are going south for them.
Ok I made a hybrid one. 27 inches braid that covers 10 inches of copper with a machine gun hole pattern. The holes are much smaller than yours. The copper is open on the side and the braid is closed at the end with a hose camp and copper cap.
I also have a 20" stainless sping that support...
Yeah kinda like that. Does it work for you?
Would you do anything different? The holes are bigger than I imagined.
Is the end of the copper open or closed?
Anyone try a braid and then have it cover a cooper pipe that has some slots/holes in it? Like a mini braided manifold.
The thought is that more of the braid will be used since less of suction will occur around the value and be distributed more.
