Have I been living under a rock? How did I not know these existed? Seems like a great idea if they work well. Has anybody bought one?

I got my pump yesterday and I want to do a toolbox mount. Every plastic toolbox I have looked at has slightly sloped sides. Of the 10s of builds I've read through, I haven't seen anyone address how they deal with sloped sides of their toolboxes. I look at the toolbox builds and those are the...

I started with 35' immersion chiller (3/8" refrigeration tubing) with a 15' pre-chiller. I was completely dissatisfied with the cooling time so I converted the IC to a CFC. I've used it twice and I have been thrilled with the cooling times and that was just gravity fed. Now I'm looking at...

I knew I'd forget something. Looks like I introduced hot side aeration like it was my job. I thought I'd get a head start on oxygenating the wort while it was cooling in the ice bath. So I gave it some nice vigorous stirs from 160 down through 90 degrees which is where dumped it vigorously...
