Anyone have McMaster-Carr part list?

[pzack]

Anyone know where I can find a McMaster-Carr parts list for an all-grain setup (from scratch)?

Thanks in advance!!

Waaaaay too many configurations for any cohesive list.

While McMaster probably has everything you'd need, they will be the most expensive option, without question. Better options are Lowes/HD for coolers, copper, and basic plumbing parts.

Murray Equipment (.com) has the best prices on stainless fittings that I've been able to find. And Bargain Fittings (.com) has great prices on stainless conversion kits and parts for coolers, kettles, etc. Do a little searching before you go with Mcmaster because you will severely overpay if you go with them.

If you know someone who regularly orders from them, you can ask to have them order for you on their shipping dime and offer some homebrew in trade. My job has an account with them, but i have yet to need anything just yet.

I order from them, get the specialty pricing, and don't have to worry about shipping. For those reasons, I was hoping I could save myself a few hours with their catalog and see if someone had already put together a list of part numbers for things I would need (tubing, fittings, wire screen, tanks (?), pumps, etc)

Thanks!

Half the fun of building your own rig is finding the parts you want. I'm willing to bet that almost no two systems are alike. Each brewer has their own configurations that are tailor made to fit their process. I say roll up those sleeves and do the dirty work. That way you can have EXACTLY what you want

Well, maybe this can get you started. ½" silicone tubing, male quick disconnects for your vessels, female QDs for the hose. 90°

All are available in larger sizes stainless, etc. I use these though, they work great, I highly recommend.

+1 That's the way to do it. We can probably help you with plumbing terminology etc, but we would need to have more specific information on what you have in mind. Consider joining a home brew club in your area if there are any and try to hook up with a few of the guys there. You can learn a ton from them and you can check out some of their methods and equipment first hand.
