I actually used my rig for the first time today. I have a cheapo turky fryer but the burner is very nice. It got 12 gallons up to temp very quickly. Anyways, mine has 3 legs and when you push down on the burner they move outward. I noticed the feet of the legs each have two holes in them...

well, no, it isn't that frugal of a contest. I have 2 6.5 gal glass carboys, two buckets, bottle tree, bottles, cornies, etc... I am just trying to stop buying equipment!!! :) ErikN: Thanks for the transfering idea. It never came across my mind to do that!

I am a bit confused on the "ferment in it" idea. Are you saying to ferment in my MLT?

Thanks! Thanks for all the tips guys. I can't do the cooler thing (that would be purchasing new equipment). The winch thing sounds cool but....I see danger! I will try a three teir design with somehow moving the burner under each teir. I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Seriously, I cannot afford anymore equipment. I can get wood, nuts and bolts; that is about it. I wish I could just buy a pump, that would be nice. I have a baby on the way and I shouldn't have even purchased the few things I did. I just hope I can work something out with the equipment I...

Anyone have an idea on a rig to build that would allow the kegs to stay in place while I move the burner? I am now aware that moving hot, heavy kegs around would not be a good idea. I am not too good of a designer but, I will give it a shot in the meantime. Thanks!

The reason I did not do it myself is because I do not have all the equipment and it would come out to the same price if not more by purchasing the equipment. I read/watched you DIY many times and wish I had the tools to do it. This chiller will suffice.

No, this chiller is very big. It is very nice and build well. I believe the diameter of the tubing is just fine. I remember there being a debate of 3/8 vs 1/2". I will post pics when I get home. The chiller is definitly the best deal I have found anywhere. 65 and no shipping. Post pics later.

Hi all! So here is the story: I now have 2 kegs converted over. One as a mash tun and on for the boil kettle. I also have another 5 gal ss pot and maybe a 7 gal aluminum (came with the burner). I have only one propane burner, I made the frame nice and sturdy to support the weight of the...

Well, I actually never looked at the diamiter of the tube. All I know is that My HBS charges $55 for a 25' and everywhere else I have looked the chiller is around $80 or more. I thought it was a good deal :)

HI everyone! FYI, I found this 50' immersion chiller on EBAY from the seller Learn To Brew Dot Com. The sellers name or ID is Chrism5446. The price is $65.95 and FREE SHIPPING!! I recieved it in 4 days and it is perfect quality, nice bends and great soldering for the hose fitting on top...

Hey all!!! I am going to start a new thread but since this is on topic here we go!! I found 50 foot immersion chillers on Amazon.com for $69 + 15 shipping. SO I checked Ebay....I found one for $64.95 with free shipping!!! I bought it and it got to my place in 4 days!!! It is amazing...

I used notty for my dry stout last year and it took 3rd place at the national comp. here in Chico. I believe my ferm temps ranged anywhere from 65-73. Maybe I was just lucky?

Hi Lucky. I just sent you a PM. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight. I have only used pellets for dry hopping before for my Belgian Wit. I definitly dont want any beer wasted so, I will check out the pellets instead. Thanks again!

Thanks! You all are great!

Last night I made an IPA. I also attempted something new for me. I tried a partial mash in my own little fashion. I have my 5 gallon pot, filled her up with 3 gallons and put in a large mesh bag with 3lbs of 2-row, .75 40l, .75 Munich and .25 Carapils. Of course the bulk of the fermentables...

Now that's a little too far! Thanks for the responses. So, the Australian method show using all the water you are going to use for the mash and just draining te bag. The other link I saw shows dunking the drained bag into another pot of water. I think this will be a little beter of a...

So, I am sure this has been done before so, if there is an article out there, please let me know! By the way, I got a 3rd for my Belgian Witbier and 3rd for my Dry Stout at the Homebrew Competiton in Chico, Ca this last weekend! Not bad for my first attempt at each of those brews and my 6th...

That is a great idea! I might seriously do that as a joke next time we hit up a bar.
