Thanks for all the responses. I was able to get this tuned a little bit better by throttling the output of the pump as suggested. I'm going to try this with very hot water tomorrow to see what kind of impact I see. If the kinking is too annoying i'll upgrade to the thicker wall stuff...

So I purchased about 20' of silicone tubing a few years back and cheaped out and went with 5/8" OD from US Plastics. It's worked perfectly with the occasional kinking. This was only with gravity fed systems. Last night I hooked up my chugger pump for the first time since i built my stand...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Just to clear up any confusion: I picked up this Burner and the NG Conversion Valve both from Williams Brewing. @Day_Trppr - I really wish I had seen that offer on Williams Brewing because that looks like it's exactly what I need. I'm going to try this with...

I have read a ton of threads on this and can't really make up my mind on some of the hose connections on my stand. I currently have 3 BG-14 NG burners that I am going to mount to a new stand. I have the Williams Brewing 3/8" orifice/ball valve that screws directly into the back of the...

Unfortunately the wrong thing is toast. Looks the keezer is on it's way out. Been plugged into the wall for 24 hours and is still parked at 48 F. I guess it's going to turn into a fermentation chamber now. :(

Yeah, i opened it up last night and re-set all of the terminals. I'm thinking it's toast.

Has anyone had one of these fail on them? I purchased a chest freezer about 5 years ago that already had the conversion done using the Ranco ETC111. I had no problems with this in the past 5 years and all of a sudden (well in the last 2 months) the unit failed. I didn't notice this as I...

Did anyone get these models and can provide a link and/or download?

I think this is a good idea, and even if I have to get this done at a machine shop it won't be too much work. 6' sticks of that angle are only 15 bucks from mcmaster. Mine already has a single crossbar in the middle that the link doesn't show. I could just add two more legs below that...

I def. have access to local shops that can do this work if I need it. My boss has a welding setup that he's always looking for an excuse to use. I don't have all 3 kegs yet, just my single keggle right now. The stand is 49.5 long. 3 kegs (16.1" each) is 48.3 total space. If each of the...

Like many others before me i'm combing through the HBT archives as I plan a brew stand build. I haven't seen a whole lot about using those angle iron fish tank stands as a starting point. I have one if my basement that measures: 49.5" long, 13.24" deep, 28" tall. This was originally...

In for one.

I keg so i'm not as concerned with making bombs. I swirled it around yesterday. I will check it again later this weekend and then add Beano as a last resort. Why does Beano work?

I ended up going 3/8" > 1/2" pipe fitting. Then 1/2" tube extension > 1/2" NPT > Barb. Once i get the thing soldered together I'll post a picture....if anyone would care to see that is. It'll be ugly seeing as it'll be my first soldering of copper. I got all the stuff at Lowes...

I do not plan on using a pump with my setup. Wouldn't a plate chiller require this? That would add a hefty cost to the setup.

The plate chiller would cost a lot more than the CFC from AHB.

I could also use something like this too http://www.mcmaster.com/#5272k196/=867ipe right?

I have the temperature set at 70 in the fermentation chamber ie: my keezer that doesn't have any homebrew in it right now. :(

Update: coming up on 12 days after pitching and the gravity is still parked at 1.025. I am guessing that's where she'll stay?

Something like this i suppose.... http://www.plumbingsupply.com/copper.html#reducingcoupling Just need to find somewhere local and how to weld the copper....
