I have got my Kegs converted and everything works as planned! I just need a sink near the brewery and I can run my full water test... More pics!

Ah yeah! It's time to covert some kegs!

All of my fittings are on their way now! Wayne at Bargain Fittings is Awesome! I dropped him a message telling him I was trying to get the male QD's and he checked his stock and added them to my order before it shipped. Just wanted to plug the amazing customer service.

Im glad you suggested this. I found something similar in How To Brew and elseware on this site and people seem to really like them. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f257/all-grain-mash-tun-need-ideas-my-30gal-blue-barrel-352476/

Im going for it! way easier than the manifold I was planning on making. Did you reinforce it at all or just run the braid? Thanks for the reply by the way!

I hate to bring a thread this old back to life but I am wondering if you have experienced and problems getting your recirc/sparge stuck with this braid setup?

Now Im excited! I placed my order last night through Bargain Fittings for all of the plumbing for the system. Right now he has a killer deal on 3 piece stainless ball valves that could not be ignored. I went with the Kent plastic QD's and was able to get the final cost down to $360.00. Bummer...

I might give this a shot! but may solder it into a few larger pieces that can be taken apart to simplify cleaning (less tiny parts). I might also might put an angle on the pipes going from the outer ring to the center so it contours the bottom of the keg. I do not have bottom drain keggles so...

all of the copper is only $25-30 at H-D

Makes sense... This caught my eye, and would be easy and cheap to make as I already have the parts sitting around. Any thoughts?

wow, thanks for the input. Aguie, so you are running a bazooka as your sole filter in your mash tun? The one thing I have read is what you said about starting the flow slow to set the grain bed before opening it up. If you have success with just the tube as your filter ill give it a try and...

Next issue... If anyone has experience with this and can help a guy out. I am currently running a manifold like the one below in my mash tun, the only difference is I have it surrounded in 1" ss braid. I am tempted to try to use this when the herms is completed but I am worried that my mash...

I agree with these guys... Im in the middle of my build and I just spent a ton of time looking at systems on here and have ended up taking parts from many different systems and wiring diagrams to put mine together. Have fun with it and take your time and im sure it will come together nicely.

Thanks Sparty. The enclosure is 10" wide, 8" deep and 12" tall and I think it was the perfect size for this setup. Here are some more pictures of the panel. I got my PID set up and confirmed that everything in the panel was working correctly and added some finishing zip ties and wire wraps to...

Here is a crazy idea to save some money... And I have no idea if this would work well, maybe someone has tried it and can advise. Could one use 1/2 in ridgid copper pipe and cut it into say 2 inch pieces and braze them into the kegs to be used instead of couplers or weldless bulkheads. Then...

You are not kidding! I just maped out my keggles to figure out what fittings I need and put an order together on bargain fittings and it was about $500! I may have to set them up in stages in order to be able to afford it.:mad:

Thanks guys, I was doing really good at keeping track of the cost of pieces and parts until Christmas when I got a bunch for gifts. I need to get back on that so people can see how much it cost me. Its really hard because of the multiple trips to the hardware store for odds and ends.

More pics.

It has been a while since I have updated this thread but I have got a bit of work done in that time and im pretty proud of it. I milled the box on a friends mill and that worked prety well. I got it painted, all of the components mounted and wired up. To my surprise, today I finished the...
