Brewhemoth Black Friday Sale

[Doctor_M]

Sweet! I ordered more clamps and fittings last night from brewers hardware and a really big order from morebeer. Christmas came early it seems!

 

[fpweeks]

What's the distance between the bolts for the legs? I'd like to order ferm-wrap and need to know whether the 11" will fit or the 7".......
Also do you need a 90 below the yeast catcher? I didn't include that in my brewers hardware order......

 

[snackson]

Drooling... I can't wait until I get mine. Actually, I can. Last night my wife walked into the kitchen to a puddle of water coming from underneath the fridge. Turns out the ice maker water supply hose busted off and leaked all over. I'm going to have to replace some drywall, moulding and flooring when I get home before I will be able to enjoy this.

As to the 90, it all depends on the height you have your fermenter set at. It's 16" leg to leg on the circumference.

I don't really use the sight glass as a yeast catcher. I just use it to see activity and dropping the trub. The 90° elbow just allows better access in my fridge. I can get measurements but I am guessing since these are hand made they may be slightly different....

Got a call this morning to finalize the location of the thermowell & tasting port locations for my two Brewhemoths. They should ship by Monday.

I was order #7 :rockin:

That's great news! I've been hoping... almost expecting an email with tracking number by Friday latest as I was order number 5. Not that it matters as the thermowells I ordered are on backorder, but I do have everything else minus some hosing and insulation... and a pump for the cip setup. Ok ok I guess I'm not as close as I thought! This ended up being a bit more money then I anticipated but in the end when I have 30+ gallons of beer fermenting in a temp controlled environment it'll be so worth it! Going to try and tackle Scotland's 120 clone :rockin:.

Dammit, i wish i knew what order number i was! Hard to believe that there is no invoice number on my cart receipt or my email confirmation....hmmm. I think i placed my order around 9 am EST.

That's a bummer, as I said before I placed my order no later then 1:15 am est. The sale started 12 cst, I'll bet your somewhere in the middle of the orders. Not much help I know but hang in there!

 

[brewmasterorr]

So I am sure the answer is simple but how do I attach the 1/2" female npt inside the fermenter? I thought a 1/2" to tri clamp would allow a nipple on the inside but it does not on the one I got... Any help?

 

[fpweeks]

What are you trying to attach? Typically you wouldn't want threads all the way through.....it's kind of the point of the tri-clover and how it makes it sanitary.

I have a 1/2" spray valve from mcmaster. It's just for cleaning. I am trying to see how I can mount it. It has a female npt so I need to get a male npt on the inside to attach to.

I ordered my brewhemoth and recieved my confirmation email at 12:13am cst so I'm also hoping to hear something soon as well

I also ordered a brewershardware cip and wondering if you guys had any input on this pump?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PTT5JM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Would this pump be a good option to run the CIP?


Thanks!

I'm still trying to figure out what pump to buy so I'm in on suggestions as I also have a brewershardware sprayball. From what I have read it needs to be oil free and the pump head should be stainless steel. I'm all ears for suggestions though, I'm fine spending a few hundred dollars for the right pump.

 

[brewmasterorr]

I have a little giant pump that I when I brew. I got the mcmaster spray ball so I would not have to buy another pump... I think I will just drill out a cap and put a nipple through it.

You would need an NPT fitting on the inside of the tri clover flange. I don't believe I have ever seen a fitting for sale like thus. You would likely have to have ut custom made. Otherwise get a brewers hardware spray ball

Here's the pump I currently use to CIP my hdpe conical.
http://www.libertypumps.com/Products/Category/SubCategory/Product/?p=22&s=4&c=14

I picked it up off eBay for under $100. It's rated for liquids to 140 degrees. I know this is the sticking point most people have in finding a good pump.

I've been using it for about a year with great success, with hot tap water and PBW.

 

[brewmasterorr]

Got it in my side by side fridge. I am pretty sure I could fit two!

That's awesome! ...... but is there anything in it?

 

[brewmasterorr]

Not yet I am also working on my new control panel...I think I will brew again around Christmas. At least I can get everything cleaned and ready...

 

[fpweeks]

Still anxiously waiting for mine.....so in the meantime...

 

[snackson]

Got all my Brewers Hardware stuff. Now I just need my Brewhemoth to show up. Well, at least by next weekend, I'm still finishing up the kitchen floors/walls after the ice maker on the fridge broke while I was underway.

 

[Doctor_M]

Just got an email from Josh, my brewhemoths shipped out on Friday and tracking is showing delivery EtA of tomorrow!

Same here.

 

[snackson]

I got an email today too! Wednesday is when it is set to arrive! Just finished tiling/grouting the kitchen. The good news about the old fridge leaking water and damaging the kitchen means new fridge for the house and a new fermentation chamber for my Brewhemoth! My two weeks of leave is going to be filled with getting my brewery full up and running again.

 

[fpweeks]

getting jealous!!!!

Glad you'll get to have your way with it since you'll be on leave. Thanks again for your service sir!

Yours will probably get to you before I get those darn thermowells from BH! At least their cranking them out pretty quickly it seems. I'm sure their welder is going crazy fulfilling these orders.

 

[Doctor_M]

Drinking this to help wind down, dunno about anyone else but I am pretty anxious to get them. Heres to hoping they arrive safely...

 

[fpweeks]

Well I have thermowells on back order too! Including my entire BH order if valves and pieces parts.....

 

[Doctor_M]

Well they are here and they are safe! Well packed imo. I'll get pics up tomorrow!
