Beautiful fermentor
Two new 7 gallon ported fermonster, which doubles my fermentation capacity. I can't wait till they are all filled up and bubbling away!
Got my new kettle and burner in the mail yesterday. Upgraded from 55k BTUs to 72k BTUs and 8 gallons to 10 gallons.
That edelmetall stuff is gorgeous. Are you going to solder the fittings?
Yeah, I have to agree with you there. It's some good looking stuff. I've seen the burner after some use and unfortunately it doesn't stay that way, but oh well, I've accepted it.
I wasn't planning to solder the fittings. I don't have that equipment to do that. I'm guessing that's recommended to do so?

What are your first impressions re: build quality and accuracy? I plan on buying one but would love to hear from someone who actually has one!
Not sure if you wanna see my block plane I just got.. But I just got one
I made a simple Graff (recipe from HBT) and used it this week. It was very quick and responsive! I did a calibration test like I would with my old Taylor thermometer and it was near spot on. There wasn’t any instruction to calibrate it and it was within its range out of the box.
For the price, it seems like a solid device. I would buy another one for $10 (+/-) without thinking twice. Durability is unknown at this time but I think with normal care it should last a long time.
I hope this helps!

Exactly what I was hoping for, thank you!
Following feedback from experts here, I went all in! “Buy once and cry once” right? [emoji51]
Went from stove top & 5 gallon kettle to 15 gallon mega pot and Edelmetall burner with leg extensions. (Can’t complain got a great deal on the whole package)
I brewed my first all grain “MIAB” 2 weeks ago, it killed me to spend ~6 hours brewing for 2.5 gallons of beer...
Also thanks to @FuzzyIguana who posted an amazon recommendation for a 50’ SS wort chiller for $50 which should complete my brewing setup.
Next step is either grain mill or SS fermentation? I also need to finalize a solution for heating my fermentation freezer, keep heat mat on carboy or something else?
Loving this hobby! Thanks everyone for the support.

Awesome! Please post your electric 3 vessel project on HBT.
I thought about going in the electric direction, I’m just not certain we will be in this house for more than a couple years & can’t justify the cost of running 220 up to my garage or exhausting air out of my basement.
5 years from now if I’m half obsessed with this hobby as I am today I would love to take a look at your build thread!

Got my Inkbird thermometer today and did a calibration test against my Javelin. The Javelin is more accurate, especially on the low end. 32.4 in an insulated cup filled with ice water while the Inkbird was 30.2
In boiling water Inkbird was 205 vs 204 on the Javelin. Close, quick read, but not quite as accurate as I hoped. So no, a $10 Inkbird will not replace a Thermapen! But a $25 Javelin is closer. Anyone have a Javelin Pro?
