I want to start whirlpooling my wort in addition to immersion chilling. I was surfing around mcmaster carr for pumps and found a drill driven pump for 10 bucks with garden hose inlets and outlets. Any one use one of these? It's max flow is 6 gpm and max temp is 120, but I might try to push it...

Im not sure about the hops clogging the 1/4", but I know that alot of pumps have larger suctions and smaller discharges. The manufacterer of the pump may have literature has a pump curve or minimum pipe sizes. Let me know how it works i want to build a whirlpool chiller and was going to have...

I bought one similar to Midwest's. The reason I purchased the cfc and not the beergun was price and I understand the science (kind of, lol) of a cfc whereas the beergun doesn't create any counterpressure so im not sure of how it would work. There's alot of people that love them. I think I...

Most extract brewer's don't do full boil's. They add water at the end to top of the carboy.

15.5 gallons should weight about 117 lbs plus weight of the keg itself.

I was considering buying from them but when I had them price a four faucet kit instead of the standard two faucet it was more than double the price??? So because I tend to support local business anyway I bought from my local brew supply and paid about the same amount and had someone show me...

I second. Pvc is way cheaper and very easy to make.

You can get cars and condensors re-charged so i imagine you could find someone to recharge a refrigerator. Probably you could call a appliance repair shop and it would be cheaper than a brand new refrigerator. Unless you want to upgrade or something.

Can you use sch 40 pvc for the manifold? Making one out of copper would cost a fortune at current market pricing. Maybe the false bottom is the way to go for 25 bucks.
