    Canadian from GTHA

    Welcome to a fellow Canuck! I noticed your post in another thread and No, there have been a handful of Canadians on here in the past few years, but I guess that like me, we'd never seen that 'Canadan Roll Call' thread..thanks for bringing it up! I read through most of it and though most links...

    How to mount temp probe for RIMS system?

    Does not look ideal... You do want to keep the probe near the element, especially with a slow-acting controller like that. If you intend to stick with your controller and it's flimsy temp probe, @Bobby_M makes compression adapters for probes...

    I just built an inline carbonator, it works great!

    Exactly the logical approach I chose! ....now if I can just keep up with it :P :mug:

    I just built an inline carbonator, it works great!

    It's not about how many times it goes thorugh, but about how long it spends being infused with CO2. I noticed this is the second thread you've posted in involving carbonating short-cuts.... You remind me of myself when I started kegging: Impatient. :P I do understand; I tried all the fast...

    Kegging into a commercial keg from plastic fermenter

    Welcome to HBT! AND: Sorry that welcome is so slow.... Sanke kegs present a number of problems for homebrewers and though a handful on here have successfully (and expensively) made use of them, I think everyone else was waiting for someone else to go first in answering. The first thing I'm...

    Closed pressure transfer from a plastic fermentation bucket

    I'm not entirely clear on what you mean.... If you mean you're going to buy and install the floating diptube/closed transfer kit I linked to ( https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/balllockbulk_floatingdiptube.htm ) Then yes; Just plug a gas disconnect in with a hose into a jar of sanitzer...

    What's your Favorite Brew Store???

    My LHBS: https://www.jakeswindsorbrew.com/ ..They don't sell online but I like having them around. I'm in Canada, but if I were in a US town that had no LHBS, I'd support the store that supports the homebrewing community more than any other I've seen: https://www.brewhardware.com/ Your post...

    Got these yesterday

    Can I ask where you got them and how much? I use them for my cervical-collar..makes it breathable and way less uncomfortable, plus I can change them out when they get dirty.

    Closed pressure transfer from a plastic fermentation bucket

    Here's probably the simplest solution: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/balllockbulk_floatingdiptube.htm Welcome to HBT! :mug:

    Electric all in one purchase in Canada

    If it helps, here's some of my current considerations: https://goldsteam.com/shop/beer-brewing-equipment/kettles-and-mash-tuns/20-gallon-stainless-steel-electric-brew-kettle/ https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/biabbottom17.htm https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/biab18.htm ..and here's...

    Electric all in one purchase in Canada

    Actually no... I've been following their prices since the Brewzilla 3.x days and I was greatly tempted by that fantastic deal..I did however read the fine print: They had a shipment of units with blemishes and possibly small dents so they started by knocking the price to about $200 off and...

    RIMS element for 240v controller

    You won't reach max power on a RIMS element (or at least you never should!) Opt for the one with the greatest surface area to distribute that power. Here's the best price I found on RIMS hardware; (*conditional)...

    Connecting two Gas Lines

    Any idea how much pressure that can take without hose-clamps? I've never tried that outside of a vessel... I sometimes pressurize up to 28psi depending on temperature.

    Connecting two Gas Lines

    Heck! I didn't know those existed :p Thanks, but..they list for $62.55.. a bit steep.... I'm gonna have to think long and carefully about that. :mug: EDIT: Addendum; Must be a new product.. I just looked them up on my favourite Aliexpress dealers page; $5.16 CAD...

    Connecting two Gas Lines

    The one @day_trippr linked to is better; I'm biased and prefer solid Stainless Steel without a wonky connection. I'm gonna page @Bobby_M : One of my Holy Grails is a SS Universal coupler... I know you make or have made to your specs, machined parts such as your Spin Cycles.. Is a Universal...
