Weird thing about these older fridges is that often they can consume equal or less power than a modern one. It has to do with the fact that they do not run auto defrost cycles. That also means you'll have to manually defrost the freezer every once in a while. I was very skeptical, but when I...

16 gallons seems about right. I usually mash in with 8 for 5 gal recipes and then do a very small sparge after I lift my basked to hit my boil volume (7 gal). I have never sparged more than a gallon. My recommendation: err on the generous side and run a long boil to hit your volume. As far...

OK it's just sold.

I've been talking to a guy about it for a while, but he is taking WAY too long to pull the trigger or not. It's for sale.

The clip for attaching to the kettle/basket is not included in those pics, but if you come up with a better idea for that, please share! Anyone- I may have missed it on this thread- what is the 'best' way to affix the whirlpool arm to the rim? Mine came without the screw. I bought a...

Wanted to check back in on this. I have received the sensor and have it hooked up. It's to spec, and pretty high quality compared to other sensors I've ordered on ebay and amazon. Seller was responsive with a question I had during shipping. Only con is it took a long time to arrive. I'm sure...

I have that setup and run 5 gal batches no problem. I even hold back ~ 1 gal to do a quick pourover sparge. You are good to go for 5 or 10 gallon batches with the 20 gal kettle and solid side basket.

I just use one of the plastic rope totes with a duct line running out of the side near the top, 415 CFM inline fan. I don't even run at full blast during boil, no drips. I have a fairly short run, though.

I'd need to weigh everything, but fedex is looking like $20-25. I'd just pass on the exact shipping amount (and supply receipt).

Here it is during the mash. Keep in mind only the RIMS tube and Controller are for sale- Mash tun, etc. have already been sold. The controller will run a heater element (in the RIMS) with a PID controller to maintain exact mash temps and 2 pumps (or whatever you want to plug in). Dog also...

Sale fell through due to buyer funds. Back on sale! Here is the listing: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/5636599338.html

My sight glass also leaked on water test. I disassembled, taped all threads, tightened everything. Still had a little dripping leak. It actually sealed itself up on my first brew day- I think a little sticky wort did the trick. No issues since.

For kettle dimensions search Concord pots.

Managed to sneak in a brew after work last night, something I never would have dreamed of before. 5G, 70% efficiency (consistent with first batch!), less than 4 hours. I mashed in at 8:15 and was totally cleaned and yeast pitched before midnight. I still think I can shave 15 or so minutes...

Wanted to drop a link to a vendor that would have saved me a lot of time if I would have found him earlier. I was looking for a RTD temp sensor with 1/4" NPT threads and a detachable probe. This proved pretty tough to find, plus the probe on most standard RTD's you'll find is generally ~2", not...

After a final push, the brewery is done and first batch brewed this weekend! Mash Drain Boil Overall, everything went smoothly. I do have a couple of items I wanted to get some feedback on. First, a bit into the boil, I started to get a pretty decent drip going out of the...

I went straight to whirlpooling through the (Jaded) CFC with no issues to speak of. That said, probably couldn't hurt to get a little whirlpool/trub cone going before I send it through the chiller. I haven't needed to use this function yet, but one of the reasons I went with this particular...

First day brew notes are in! Overall impression: wow. Easier, more efficient, and faster than I've ever brewed before. I swear I've had tougher times with extract batches! Keep in mind I didn't get the full nano system- just the kettle and recirc fitting. First note- this was a wit with 50%...

Well it looks like I was wrong- temp turned out to be the issue. The kegs were on ice at the party last night and the pours were perfect all evening. :tank: Little bit of mixed feelings about the resolution. I am very happy to have figured out the issue. On the other hand, one of the main...

Edited: Post moot. I didn't notice the additional pages
