Thats pretty much what i used. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/automatic-sanke-cutter-making-kettles-426740/ If you dont stand back in clear distance, you need to watch for fumbling over the cord. Be careful either way.

All due respect granted. Thanks for explaining. I look forward to watching your vids. Its a very thin grinding wheel. Explosin would be weak, but agreed could cause damage if i werent protected in safety gear. To offer some other "dumb power machinery operating advice". -- its probably...

Bobby, im not sure what you meant by "nice try". I finished the job on two kegs. Omj - terrifying, really?? I was standing 5 feet back with hand on power wearing ear muff and eye protection. What do you think could have happened? I didn't feel the thing would jump up and fly into my head...

Yes, I used a common metal cutoff wheel.

I didn't bother with a potentiometer. I just used a lower voltage supply (6v maybe?) that I had lying around. Seems to spin at the right speed and works great for me..

Sure thing. I took out the diptube and reused one of the coupler parts that held it in under spring tension. The only modification I did was that I had to grind a tab off that part to allow it to spin freely. I used a bolt, washer and nut to hold it onto the wooden jig. It was a very simple...

Made up a jig for my cut off wheel. Cut 2 sankeys in about 4 minutes. One for HLT, the other for boil kettle.

I contemplated selling the unit. It was unused and was free to me. I'd love to see what you come up with. The ice water certainly chills it down quickly. I have an old cooler here that I might integrate everything into. I bought a "small" bag of ice and it went quick. Next batch, I'll...

Great job and great idea! I started collecting parts last weekend and was wondering what I'd put them in. Now I know!!

Might be true, but the ice water I'm pulling from the tub is certainly colder than the tap.

It went allright, really! I never had a chiller before and finally figured that I'd build one. Criteria: I didn't want to mess with garden hoses, nor did I want to wash out dirty lines/hoses filled with wort. I mentioned that I had to discharge the initial 5 mins of water... it was HOT, so I...

I made a recirculating wort chiller using a liquid CPU cooler for a computer that I'd like to share. I whipped together a quick video. I had to discharge the initial 5 minutes of water as it was coming out piping hot, but then I recirc'ed it back into the bath. Here's a vid -->...

"However, some of the clean up for by the yeast during conditioning is more efficient at higher temperatures" right... in the query; "and this can be done at room temperature, can the last 2 weeks of secondary conditioning be performed in the keg" Is room temperature considered "higher...

Long story short, my 1st brew blew up in a spare room. I didn't know any better and was using a 5 gallon carboy as a primary with high gravity brew. The fermentation plugged up the airlock and finally blew it across the room. Trub was EVERYWHERE--on the walls, door, ceiling and floor. I...

I've made it up to page 48 and my eyes are crossed! Was wondering this... if the patient method required 2 weeks of waiting and this can be done at room temperature, can the last 2 weeks of secondary conditioning be performed in the keg while it's carbonating at room temp (ie; 68-70°)...
