This is swaying me in the direction of the Exchillerator instead of a plate chiller. My reservations of both types are this: a plate chiller can get clogged with hop debris, and the Exchillerator PEX will degrade when exposed to uv light. Kal's idea of wrapping it with reflective tape seems to...

I'm still waiting for someone's review as well. I might just have to jump out there and get one. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

One can added a nice slight cherry flavor. It does ferment out slot of the sweetness so it's not as bad as you may think. I added towards the end of primary but you can add earlier so it ferments more sweetness out. I did that with apricot one time. Added after two days of fermentation. Turned...

That's good to know Kal. What do you think about using it in an indoor brewery? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am also interested in this CFC chiller. I am looking forward to your review. As of right now I use a garden hose CFC but I like the idea of using chiller water in the next batch instead of wasting it. For anyone wondering why I can't use my chilling water now is because garden hoses house...

Cool. Thanks guys. I will be buying some thermometers for cooking and brewing now. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I came across a website of thermometers while checking out som BBQ equipment. I thought these thermometers would probably work for brewing too. Has any bought or used products from here? http://www.thermoworks.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Good luck. I wish you all the best. I do not have the motivation to polish the inside of mine. A green scrubby and BKF is all the inside is getting from me. I'd like to see a pic of it when your finished. Let us know if it does help with clean up. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah. Inside is just dull SS finish. I imagine it world be a royal pain to polish the inside if anyone wanted to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks. I haven't finished the rest of the system yet so it just sits there looking pretty. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The first one took about 4-6 hours broken up over the coarse of a couple weekends. I was starting off going for that brushed look at first but after hitting it with the polish I couldn't stop once I saw that mirror shine come through. It is definitely labor intensive. For my second keggle I...

Thanks. I trust that this advice comes from experience. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I was just wondering after reading the back of my bottle of Harris sta-clean flux. After the joint is soldered, what do you do to clean the joint? From reading the bottle, this stuff has some nasty stuff in it that I don't want touching my beer. I was going to solder a coupler in my keg using...

If only polishing with a rag and neverd-dull was that easy on SS. This project took about 6 hours of labor broken into 2 weeks to go from beat up old keg to polished keggle. Now I am working on the next on. It is in better condition than this one was but the manufacturer never sanded the keg...

Finished with the first keggle. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am in the process of increasing my production from 5 gallons to 10. I have acquired some decommissioned kegs from a local keg management company and am now starting to clean and polish them. I decided to go the gator grit route for sanding since it seems to be the most popular. Thanks Bobby M...

Thanks for the advice. I had a feeling it was because I planted in a planter. Now I just need to find space for a hop garden.
