Just got some stuff in form brewer hardware and duda diesel and I'm very impressed with the quality of all the products. Can't wait to put all this on the brewery on Sunday. More pics to come. Waiting on grain mill from northern brewer.

What size chiller did you get from Duda?

I got the B3-36a 40 plate chiller. I'm liking it already and haven't used it yet.

 

[Roadie]

That's the chiller I have and we love it! Good choice.

Roadie, how are your chilling times @ what temp water? Can't wait to use it.

 

[Roadie]

We have overshot our whirlpool temp every time. Ground water has been really cold but one pass where we didn't whirlpool took the wort from 212 to low 50's... in an instant. Crazy.

Wow that's insane. Glad I got this chiller. Thanks roadie. Cheers

 

[Roadie]

I didn't think I needed one but am going to have to plumb a thermometer after the chiller to try and not over chill the wort, especially since we've been whirlpooling most batches lately. You won't regret buying that chiller for sure.

If one more person says to me "RDWHHB" I'm gonna start punching people in the papazians. RDWHHB?

Dude, I just read your whole build in your basement. Wtf. Total stainless porn. Love it. Nice job on that little piece of paradise. Can't wait to use my stout kettles. Anything you would change about your kettles? Sorry for all the questions.

My stout tanks came with 3 dial thermometers. I don't know what to do with them. I will have bcs temp probes in the tanks. I was thinking about putting one before and after the hex. And maybe one on the city water in on the hex. Now I kinda want 4 thermometers so that I can see the in and out temp on the hex for the wort and water just for fun. Is that overkill?!

When I semi automate my rig that sounds like a good idea. I never thought about one before and after the hex. Good call. I love overkill. Haha

 

[sandyeggoxj]

Yes, Overkill is way too much fun. I get stuck in the mentality of "well I already spent $X so why not just spend $X more and do it 'right'"!

Thanks! My only real gripe is that the ports for the temperature probes are a little high for 5 gallon batches.

Sounds like you need to make more gallons per batch. Haha. If that's your only gripe then I think your good.

I have a triclover thermometer tee on the HEX that I move to the chiller output.

Make yourself or get an inline oxygen aerator with thermometer. Throttle the output to manage the hot flow and keep your temp in range. I have the same kettles and chiller and they work great.

Got the grain mill today. Thought it would be bigger but it will do the job. Gonna get the extension for the hopper and get a gear reducer and motor. Big day on Sunday trying to finish this bad boy up.

Built my grain mill stand today. Looks pretty awesome. Gonna use a corded drill for now until funds re appear. Def need the extension for the hopper. Cheers.

Lovely. Is that door large enough to stick a bucket in? Just curious how you're planning on retrieving the grain.

Sorry I guess should have posted the pic of the back. Just enough room for a bucket.

 

[Facebrewing]

Didn't get to paint but got a lot of good stuff done. Pumps are plumbed through the panel, Hoses are cut to size , chiller mounted, water test done with no leaks only problem is priming hlt pump and mash tun to boil kettle gotta get some air relief valves from somewhere. Other than that thanks to john, joe, and joe for all your hard work. Cheers.
