vinyl has really bad heat transfer properties. You can run vinyl up to the kegs, but I would use copper around them. 75ft total I would think. exit point o treturn point. I'm guessing thats what the pump is rated for but I owuld think it would depend on the diameter of the line as smaller...

I don't see why not. Just make sure you use lead free solder and don't bend the copper too many times. The more times you bend it the more brittle it gets, and it will fail pretty quickly.

I've seen all of these buts its nice to see them all in one place (except the stone work one, that is nice!)!! Great thread. My bar is done, but the room is not.... :mug:

It'll work for the 5 gallon batches I would think. Once you go to 10 you will prob want to replace it. If it were 1/2" or 3/8" I would tell you to replace it now, but you should get some good surface area out of the 5/8. Prob take about 15- 20 minutes to cool you batches depending on your...

Not terrible. What size batches are you doing?

Haha, but I AM selling it. That's the whole point. Regardless I would be happy to have you drink some of it. Come on out to CO and stop by, beers are free until I open up. Even then I'll give HBT members a decent discount.

I've definitely thought about it, I would need an extra furrel welded onto the boil kettle for a side drain/whirlpool recirc. I ended up building a 50' CFC over the weekend. I had the hose lying around so I just bought the copper and threw it together. I think this will work well for...

Yup. 4" cutting wheel on a dewalt angle grinder. I thought about building a jig and then said screw it and just free handed it. Cuts turned out pretty darn nice. Even the welder said I did a good job on them. There was a really nice radius where the lids were rolled over the top of the...

So here are the pics of the progress I made that I mentioned in the last post: Frame Primed: Close up of some of the welds and fittings and such: Sight glass and one of the nuts with an element threaded in The bottom drain with butterfly valve on it. Also the welder made the custom length...

I would love to be able to trim the whole thing out with real wood stained to match the bar, but money is just a problem for me right now (Surprise!!). Check my other threads and you'll see I'm trying to start a Nano Brewery this year, so funds are very tight right now. It's exceptionally...

Yeah I was thinking going white tiles and white crown molding and painting them all the same color (eggshell white or whatever, god I hate painting). Then using the same color for the base board and doors/door frames. I think the light color will help make the room seem bigger. It has low...

Good to know. I have like 320 sq ft. of ceiling to cover. $4.62 for 1.666 sq. ft. means I'd spend $890 ..... Thats a lot of cash. I saw some of the tiles they had on that site. I like the white ones that have a similar design to yours and they were only $1.95, which puts me at around $375...

Damn, I knew someone was going ask this haha. Unfortuantely, I have not made much progress from this point. I know its been like 8 months, but I ran out of money and then started a different project when more money came in. I really need to finish it up. I've been having a hard time finding...

Yeah I did that. If you google "Antique ceilings" you get a ton of stuff too. I just wanted to make sure I was looking at the same thing, cuz i'm sure he did some price hunting. Thanks!

This link doesnt work for me?? I really like your ceiling and have been trying to finds something cheap that looks good. Are you sure thats the right link? Thanks!

Thanks, funny thing is I was just reading your bar build as well! I like your behind bar set up. I wish I had thought of doing something like that. Haha! Nice.

This is what I've been working on. Good luck! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/bar-build-basement-overhaul-progress-tracker-164329/

SE Aurora definitely has money. I live in central/north west Aurora, which is not the nicest area. My neighborhood is nice, but the surronding area is pretty crapy. Dry Dock has a pretty good handle on the south west side. I think your right, if anywhere in Aruroa I would go south east...

Sounds like a fun project! Have you thought about wrapping the kegs in a copper coil and running the glycol through that? Unless you are good at welding I feel like coming up with a jacket will be difficult. I suppose you could use a bucket and just recirc fulid in and out of it with the keg...

Good info. With the way I have things set up it is cheap and very easy to swap out heating elements. again, so much of how I set up the electrical is dependent on how the building is set up. I'll start looking at potential places in the next few weeks, so I'll keep all of this in mind during...
