I did mine similarly, but with camlocks to make it all streamlined. I used a two 3/4" gh to 1/2" npt nipples (male to male) then attached a Camlock B on one side, and a Camlock D on the other. Works great!

Try PBW instead. Use got water and run it for about 20 mins. Then use clean, warm water for about 10 min to rinse. Works great. Yea you could hand clean better and faster, but this saves your back. Especially when you have to clean 4 kegs and a few glass carboys.

I'm using an EcoPlus 1083 pump, but i've heard decent results from as low as an EcoPlus 396 as well. The only reason I went with the 1083 was for the extra pressure so it would scrub the base of the kegs harder for cleaning. They are small pumps regardless and a great fit for a 5gal bucket ...

You read my mind. I had to rip off all the aquarium silicone I had on the nuts/bolts, and it took some work but that was exactly the right move.

First off, I see I attached my toilet flange a little different than the photos above, so my leaking issue is a little different. I sat the flange on "top" of the bucket lid instead, so it makes sense why I was having issues. Well, good news is I found a fix in case anyone wants to install the...

So I just added the flange and noticed it does not make a flush seal with the bucket lid. How are you keeping this from leaking?

This is actually a GREAT idea. I went out and put up two flanges today, along with some nuts/bolts to lock the flange down to the bucket lid. I'll probably put a little food-grade, aquarium silicone on the inside of the lid over the parts of the bolts just to make sure the seal stays good and...

here's 2 more photos of the ball lock fittings and the angle of the hose that is an issue once the keg fittings are connected. Please help!

Question: So I built one of these Key/Carboy washers, but I'm having a weird problem that I haven't seen anyone else mention. When I'm trying to wash a keg, I attached the Gas/Liquid Ball lock to the keg, but due to the angle the hose comes out of the Gas/Liquid Ball Locks, it won't allow the...

Completely agree. I have another batch this weekend, so I'll calculate time per gallon boil off.

Well, it kind of sounds like if you have too much preboil, boiling it out is the correct solution. You will just have to compensate for hop times. So, if the 60 min is up, take the hops out so we don't over bitter the beer (I use a hop screen, so I can just lift it out of the keggle). Done...

Yes, I am hopping at the 60 min mark (at the start of the boil), so yea, the boil is getting much longer exposure to the hops then normal, so that might explain the bittering. I've noticed I've set my heating element to 212 in the past, but the boil wasn't very strong, so I just kicked it up...

Hey guys, I have recently upgraded to an electric brewery system, and there is one big bug I haven't worked out, so I need some "boiling" advice. Basically, I'm fly sparging into my boil kettle to reach my target pre-boil size, then I boil for my 60 or 90 mins...whatever the recipe has. The...
