I think it was Budweiser that had a relief valve stick on one of their fermentation vessels many decades ago. It exploded and blew a 30 foot diameter hole in the roof of the building. Not something you want to play around with. If you do any of this, make sure you have all your bases covered...

This thing will handle both. There is a setting for using inductive loads. Here is an excerpt from the manual: "4.5.2 On/off control mode It is necessary for inductive loads such as motors, compressors, or solenoid valves that do not like to take pulsed power. It works like a mechanical...

User the SYL-2342. Its output mode is rated: Relay w/ NO and NC contacts: 7A at 240VAC, 10A at 120VAC

I had thought of just modifying the spear. Basically removing the dip tube and the modifying the rest to incorporate a valve. Turn it upside down. Then you could use your existing hole for the vent lock. No need for a tri-clover clamp. I had actually contemplated the build with the Corney lid...

Here a a couple: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/sanke-fermenters-106253/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/15-5-gallon-sanke-conversion-fermenter-129018/index2.html#post1449468

Blow off tube would or airlock would work. I have just come to hate stoppers too. They get nasty pretty easy still. Another thing i really like about the carboy cap is that it completely covers the sanke hole so nothing ever has a chance of running in to the beer. I have had on occasion that...

I just didn't want to deal with the cleaning of too many parts. At the end I have just a racking cane, a carboy cap, vent lock and keg to clean. No valves to disassemble, etc. Everything is easy to get at and get cleaned. In fact the easiest thing to clean is the keg and the racking cane...

I use a Carboy cap over the Sanke portion of the keg. Put you vent lock on one side and use a stainless steel racking cane to siphon out the beer when the time comes. I have marked on my racking cane in 1/2 inch increments so I know how far off the bottom I am. A very slight counter pressure...

Man, all this almost makes me want to up my flood insurance and pray for a flood. I am about 300 feet above the 500 year flood plane. Tsunami...?

"Prost"

Ex is a "has been" and a a spurt is a "drip under pressure." I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination. I work in their IT department. A couple of the Engineers here helped me with my gas set up. I was really just stating what I learned trying to set mine up. On the other hand I...

Sorry about that. I didn't see that about your valves. Definitely a bottle neck if using the C6120. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I have a gas system set up. I use 1/4 hose and a Marshall C6120regulator, look on page 3 of the following PDF: http://www.abergas.co.nz/anytime/pdf_files/anytime48d84b8c1fd93p314.pdf. It has an output range from 5 -45psi. I can bring wort to boil in about 12 minutes and at the same time heat my...

I have not noticed any difference either way. I have two brew rigs. One with a Immersion chiller which I just throw the hops directly in the BK. I end up Whirl pooling that one at the end. I also have one that uses a Counter Flow Chiller. I use a hop sack with that one. If I make the same beer i...

Might not even need a 100W I have used a 60W with a small Computer case fan to keep air moving in my Fermfreezer. Got it hooked to a seperate thermostat. This causes me trouble in that the Johnson controller and the heater thermostat can get in to a heating cooling fight. Took me a while to get...

Got this Hefeweizen with the following recipe: Amount Item Type % or IBU 13.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 45.23 % 9.00 lb Wheat, Red (Cargill) (2.9 SRM) Grain 45.23 % 1.0 lb Carapils (Briess) (1.5 SRM) Grain 4.52 % .5 oz Hallertauer 4.1 [4.10 %] (90 min) Hops 7.3 IBU .5 oz...

He failed to mention that it cools to pitching temp in about 10 - 15 minutes for 10 gallons. That's pretty damn fast for an IC in the Heat of Texas summer. We are talking 105 degrees F here for ambient temperature. We probably go through 15 pounds of ice during the process. Correct me if I...

This is exactly the problem I am running in to. I am trying to create a set of calculators for mobile devices, phones and such. I have a few already working but can not seem to find the formula for the hydrometer that can be adjusted to different calibrations temps. If there is any body out...
