Cut it up and weld it to your tippy dumpy MLT!!! I know I would love my tippy dumpy a lot more if it had a hydralic lift built it. Whats the total travel on it?

I was going to keep a reservoir in my walk in cooler where I'm going to store all of my kegs/serving tanks. So probably around 38-40 degrees.

I got them from ebay from valves4projects here: Gravity Feed Capable, 1 2 items in valves4projects store on eBay! I can't say how long they are going to hold up, but the prices were relatively decent.

Had some tonight and it was fine. Strange ... Maybe the picnic tap I am using to dispense got some air in it and what was in the line got the vinegar taste... I swear i tried clearing the line and it tasted the same tho. Color me confused.

Where would it be getting the oxygen from tho? I've had it on nitro the whole time.

That could be a definite issue. I've been storing it at room temp in the keg. Its a red, so I thought room temp was fine..... oops.

Thanks for the adivce. I've never gottena single infection in my beer. Can't believe I got one the first time I try wine. Craziness. I guess its time to start drinking wine every night instead of beer haha.

I brew beer for the most part. Decided to try one of those wine kits. Got a Malbec. Wine was pretty fruity to start. After about 3 months it got to be very drinkable. Not sure how long its been since I made it, maybe 6 months, and it is starting to get a bit of a vinegar taste to it...

Thanks! They really are pretty sweet little microcontrollers for relatively cheap.

I've used the rig at small production sizes a few times now. Works well. It feels almost exactly like my keggle system really. Just a bit bigger and with tri- clovers instead of brass quick disconnects. Using the tippy dump for the grains is fun as hell tho :) I plan on trying to fill up...

SO I know its been a while, so here's a quick update. As I've said I've been working on my temperature control for my 85 gallons fermenters. The system is finally at a place I feel comfortable showing my progress. Check out the video and let me know what you think: On another note, I...

Sitting at trappist right now. Freakin awesome place. Thanks for the suggestion! Guys here are really cool. Beer selection is incredible if you love belgains, which I do. Feeling good and headed over to beer revolution now.

Nice. Thanks!

I'm traveling to Oakland for work tomorrow and have a bit of down time in the evening. Anyone have any awesome breweries they suggest to visit in the Oakland/San Francisco Area? Thanks!!

I don't trust the plug I guess. Try taking them out of parallel and putting the SSR inline with the top plug that has worked before, don't connect anything to the bottom plug.

A march pump should not be drawing 3.8 amps. It sounds like your wiring is messed up somehow. You best bet for getting a solution would be posting a wiring diagram and a picture of your control panel I would think.

Thanks man. I went by your place the other day and you guys were at some beer festival. Place loooked great. How is the new equipment install going? I can't believe you guys upgraded form what I have going to a 7 bbl system in only 7 months!!! That is awesome. Man I could pick your brain...

Definitely portable. Some sort of Supply and return pump on wheels with a water/cleaning supply tank. I haven't fully figured it out yet. Finding the right pumps to provide the proper PSI and flow rate can be difficult/expensive. Yeah, the fermenters are huge and take up a lot of space in...

Yeah sorry I haven't written any updates for a while. Right now I am still working on equipment. I don't plan to find a place to rent until late Feb. or early March of 2012. I need time to build my bank account back up. In the mean time I have been working on modifying my fermenters and...

Ok so this is why I wanted a socket: The 1" nut is welded to the side of my kettle. The heating elemnt slides through the hole in teh electrical box and the washer and the oring go over it to seal against the nut. Like this: Then the Heating element threads into the nut, holding...
