When I took mine apart I followed this thread as well, however I did not make the tool he made. I used 2 screw drivers one large and one small. It was the biggest PITA but after about 20 mins I was able to get the latch to give. Once I had the small screw driver in the latch I had to use a...

My guess it is fake. This video was around youtube for a while but I think that someone made it with microsoft's video editing tool.

wilserbrewer it is not wort residue. i was just boiling water to make sure it was working properly. Now I am a little tentative on using this element bcs of the rust. I will try to use the barkeeper's friend to see if it will help with the rust. I guess I will be extra careful with any...

OK I was going to start working on my 2nd electric kettle and took apart the first one so I can take some measurements of the cable lengths then I noticed something. My water heater element rusted when I only ran it 2 times. I am thinking that I may have to get another one. Here is a picture of...

Pol, you make a good point. I was just seeing if people had any suggestions before I went through the trouble of making the cables.

my controller will only be near my kegs so I am thinking that 6 ft will be enough at first but when I finally attached the cord to the element it just seemed so short that I was a little concerned. I will make the other one 8 feet just to make sure that it will fit. I just wanted to see what...

For all of the people who are using electric water heater elements on their kettles, what is the length of the cable you used? I was originally thinking 6 feet, however I think that this maybe too short. I am mounting the heating elements directly to the kegs and do not want to make them too...

Welcome, nice to see another person from Ohio here.

Is it an actual hole or is is splatter from the weld? If it is splatter from the weld you should just be able to knock it off with a file. Can you take a picture of it so we can see?

OK I finally put the holes in one of my kegs. That was a PITA. It took almost an hour to drill 1 hole. I don't know if I am doing it wrong but it just took that long. As the hole size got larger it was quicker to go through the steps on the bit, but the smaller holes took a long time. Am I...

I saw that video, but he didn't really give much detail on its location vertically. Where do people usually put their elements relative to the ball valve? Do you think 180 degrees from it is a good location?

I am in the process of converting my Kegs to Keggles and have been wondering where people have been drilling their holes in the Kegs. Where do people drill there holes for the ball valve and their electric elements? I think that I want to put the holes 180 degrees apart from one another and 1/2...

Sorry man I am a Badger Fan not a Yuckeye fan. I am so glad to be back in Big Ten Country though. Live in TX for 6 yrs and hated the Big 12 every minute!!!

I did a search on google for several different things regarding brewing and I kept coming back to this forum so here I am.

I'm in Hudson. Now don't bash me because I live here. I am a transplant so I am not a native Hudson person. Originally from Wisconsin.

hi everyone, I started brewing last year with a buddy of mine. He started me off with all grain brewing so I am now hooked on it. I should have tried the partial grain or extract but now that I have my feet wet in all grain I am going to stick with it. I have lurked here for a while and have...

34 here but the wife is older for at least the next couple of months!!

I have never seen one of those before and I just bought the step drill bit this morning. So I was just thinking if it would be easier to use one of those I would give it a try. I guess I am open to ideas since I have not done anything yet.
