What aspect of the bag do you hate? I had similar feelings myself when I first tried BIAB and experimented with mockups to see what difference a rigid mash-holder would make and concluded that it was a PITA to clean compared to a bag. Both will drip all over the place if you're not prepared to...

Apologies; I know nothing about Brew Commanders, but I get kinda bothered every time I see a horizontal RIMS. I honestly don't know how significant a difference it makes in practice, but given 'heat rises', temp changes will be slower at the probe and what's coming out may not actually be at...

A 1/4 is the same height as a 1/6 ..It's just about 11" wide instead of 9.25" so you can still install the coupler and try it out for height...you just won't be able to close the door. :mug:

Yup! And then got sarcastic and/or humorous in making up a name. Go to this thread; https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/best-names-for-your-beer-batch.732488/ and tell us what it was supposed to be and what you called it. :mug:

I've seen inspiring pics of your beautiful brew rig some time ago and if I recall correctly, you had one of those large TC sock filters inline on the path to the fermenter.... I'm wondering 2 things; Do you still use it? ..if not, why? and: What is this: I'm a strong proponent of large kettle...

I looked that model up ( https://www.danby.com/products/compact-refrigerators/dar440bl/ ) and I think your greater concern will be the height once the coupler is attached. A 1/6 keg is 9.25" wide and about 23" high... The temp control and fan unit appear to be mounted right in the middle of the...

There's several areas to address. Since you're only 2 messages in since signing up, here's some friendly advice: There's no such thing as too much information when posting a question, and like @mac_1103 said; A picture is worth a thousand words (or about 40 posts over 3 days as we try to pry...

Having started on the stovetop with a couple of Cooper's kits and glass carboys, my three Big Ones were; - Moving to all grain - Building an electric rig with all the fittings and pump and CFC - Closed fermenters and transfers ..and like @CascadesBrewer said; "a bunch of small factors" which...

Looks like what I'd call a "Health & Safety" assistant. I have a 'Sanitation &Safety' assistant myself, which reminds me I owe @balrog an explanation for the whiffle ball; It's not just the whiffle ball, but also the mouse, the bag, and the box that are tools for my Sanitation & Safety...

If you mean the interior walls and floor; what is it made of..SS or plastic? Mine's plastic and I often have drips or rings and I just wipe them with a warm damp cloth and try and keep it clean with each keg change.... When I occasionally have a couple empty spaces, which happens once or twice...

It depends on your usual smallest batch size; Put it a couple inches below the wort level. If you haven't yet picked out a port to install, here's the best you can get (in my opinion); https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/spincyclesubmerge.htm :mug:

Gainfully employed since age 7, paying income tax since age 10, catastophically injured on the job and forcibly 'retired' at age 46.... The word 'sedentary' never belonged in a sentance with my name, but everything I lived for is now painful or out of reach. Now that I'm done being depressing...

I began with stove-top brews, so here's a messy one: I'm disabled so rather than move the huge pot off the burner to mix, I took my large SS dutch-oven (which I had thoroughly scrubbed with barkeepers friend inside and out) and wearing thick cotton gloves inside my rubbermaid gloves; dipped it...

If I recall correctly, DMS vapourizes at around 90° or so but remains stable in solutions below that temp. I could be wrong though, my brain is broken and I've lost most of my science..I can't even remember if that 90° is °C or °F...either way, not a temp you want to bring finished beer up to...

When I started kegging I had the exact same leak happen a few times with both gas and liquid disconnects... I had bought the cheap chinese ones. After searching this site and sucking up the knowledge on offer, I ran out to my LHBS and bought some genuine CMB's and I could immediately feel the...

Vulcan ESB It blew the airlock off 3 times and there's still a stain on my basement ceiling. :mug:

Mine's currently disassembled (until I can complete my 'accessible brew rig'), but then, it's not one of those with TC output that's further down, hence less dead space. To that end, my temp probe is long enough to descend to just below the output. Heat rises, flow carries it, and the dead...

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...

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...

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