I used to store it in a box that came with my 5 gallon carboy but found out that bugs were nesting in the cardboard. Need another idea. I store all my gear in the garage between brews. Thanks!

I'm looking for advice on the most efficient way to use the chiller. With my old immersion chiller I had the cooling water running full blast. Do you moderate the water flow or just the wort flow?

I'm repurposing my IC to build the CC. What is your recommendation on length of the coil? Should I get a 25 ft or 50 ft hose? Cutting off the ends of a 25 ft hose would only leave enough for about 23 ft for the actual coil. Do you think this is long enough? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to price a keggle that has a brass ball valve, weldless bulkhead fitting with a SS nipple and SS pipe. The interior has a SS false bottom with a copper/brass 1/2 inch pipe compression fittings for easy disassembly. There is no lid or thermometer. What do you ink is a fair price?

Did a search but could not find the answer. I built a cpvc manifold with hack saw cuts every 1/2 inch. Deburred the inside of the tube the best I could with a copper pipe. Other than taking off the upc stickers and washing with dish soap is there anything else I need to do before my...

I'll be moving to 20 gallon batches. How big of a cooler do I need to mash 48 pounds of grain using 1.25 quarts per pound for the initial mash?

My house brew is an American IPA that I brew in 10 gallon batches x2. My brew day takes about 8 hours from start to cleanup. Hoping to shave 3 hours by going to to 20 gallons. Keggle hlt, blue ice cube MT, and keggle BK. I currently batch sparge. For those who brew 20 gallon+ batches...

Tried searching but couldn't find an answer. The temp probe wire is very short, is it as simple as splicing the wire with a length of wire? I'm concerned that extending the wire could affect the temp reading. Any help would be appreciated.

I have 20 feet on my kegerator for the dedicated Hefe tap but wanted to know if there was a hack or trick to serving this high volume on a shorter picnic tap. This is for a 3/16 line. Thanks in advance

I regularly scan Craigs list for sweet deals for freezers or fridges. Some of these are in pretty good cosmetic condition and are going for the right price (free!). The only thing is the unit does not get cold. What do you suppose the average costs are for repairing these units? Cost of...

Hopefully, this is in the correct forum. I currently batch sparge using an Ice Cube cooler for my MLT. Now that my 2 tier brew cart is set up I was wondering if I should to go with a 3 keg setup. What are the advantages of mashing in a keg? BTW. I always do a single step mash.:rockin...

I planning to attach a 2 outlet/switches to my brew cart to control the March pump and recirculating pump (a'la Mr. Malty). I thought I would get some feedback before I electrocuted myself. My plan is to attach a 2 gang box to the brew frame and use 2 combination switches. The switch is...

Using ideas I found on various boards I finished my 2 tier stand today. Just need to get some cement board for the bottom shelf and the space to the left of the HLT burner. I plumb in the gas lines for my next enhancement.

Here is my rough rendering of my planned brew stand It will be made of 1 1/2 x 1 1/12 perforated angle, iron two kegs on two burners and a Ice Cube MTL (Blue). The stand will be 72 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 32 inches high. The Bk will go on the lower section (20 x 16) and...

Hi all, I have been brewing since 2004 starting on extract and then moving on to AG. I found this site researching my upcoming sculpture build. I will be constructing it out of perforated angle iron. I must say this site is packed with great DIY ideas! I hope to learn a lot from everyone...
