Decided to make a keg "coozy" today....I've been losing lots of heat and my beers just aren't up to par. I used to love my igloo 10 gallon mashtun, but I'm not a fan of plastic leeching chemicals into my brew. It's made of 1000 denier cordura with a yoga mat lined with reflectix. I have a heavy...

A few weeks ago I got an idea in my head to downsize my current 2 keggle propane fired system. I guess I was getting tired of messing with the burners and not being able to close the garage door to avoid prying eyes....plus, I really began to like the idea of using slim quarter kegs because of...

So, after several years of brewing and using a whole myriad of different equipment...I have come to this project. It has been a long time coming, because it requires tools that are beyond the average DIY'er. However, I am not the average DIY'er. ;) Over the last few years, my interests have...

Hello Brewlanders- Been less active for a while, expanding my skillset and pursuing other hobbies. Here's a little project I did the other day....a single burner stand made from UniStrut. A couple things: 1. This stuff is cheaper than new mild steel. Steel is approx $5 a foot for 2x2 square...

Not sure if this is the place for it, but.... Just wanted to let everyone know that Brew Hardware is legit. I ordered a fair amount of fittings, camlocks, diptubes, etc. and was very impressed. Prices are VERY reasonable. The attention to detail in packing everything was outstanding, and...

Awesome Ebay score...99 cents plus 35 shipping....haven't checked the flow meter capabilities..but it makes an awesome sight glass....

Hey folks- Been on the forum a good while now.....life got in the way of brewing, and I got heavily involved with a few other hobbies. I ended up selling off a lot of my AWESOME (and I do mean awesome) gear. But, brewing has quietly been calling my name. I may get back into things slowly and...

Hi All- Just wanted to point you guys towards a few items I'm selling on ebay....I have three 2-valve lots of some AWESOME VALVES. They are manufactured by GEMU and are diaphragm style (no crevices and can be disassembled). Made from Hastelloy C22, kind of like a super-duper stainless steel...

Hey All- Just thought I'd point you to an auction I have up on Ebay....lots of changes in my life; brewing is getting less and less time on the center stage. CHECK IT OUT, AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!!! :rockin:

I've been looking at what it might take to power some of these awesome old-school power tools I keep seeing pop up. They're definitely old and rusty, but a little TLC goes a long way. I'm researching what it will take to install a large DC motor to drive some of these beasts. I've never really...

How cool would it be to have something like THIS In your garage? We could make ANYTHING....:mug::ban::rockin:

I gotta say, I have used several rotary tools over the years, and especially with all these homebrewing projects! I got a DREMEL 7700 but it required charging and would run out of juice in the middle of all my projects! So I had to recharge and wait to start back up again....very frustrating...

So, as the title states, what do you think would be the best recipe to brew first on a new electric rig? Working out the bugs is important before you jump straight into barleywine! My build is HERE. It's an all electric single vessel build where I wanted to prove that you could do in one...

Hey all- Got a 30A 2P GFCI to put inside my control box. The load side and neutral make total sense to me, but the line side has these odd connections, almost like "clips"...I assume the breaker is intended to snap into an electrical panel. How do I adapt this to be mounted into a small box...

Hi All- Anyone know the part number/specs for the spade connectors used with Auber PID's? Everyone says to use the "narrow" ones.....but I don't want to order the wrong size and Lowe's/HD has a lackluster electronics section...usually only one choice for parts like these. :mug:

Hey All- I've been researching how to provide GFCI protection to my toolbox control panel. It will be supplied by a 4 wire dryer cord, and I have a 2 pole 30A GFCI breaker in the box. My question is, once I hook everything up to the breaker (grd, neu, hot), aren't I still left with the second...

Here's some pics of my home's breaker panel. Looks like a 200A service panel with a 50A stove circuit and a 30A dryer circuit. I plan on using the dryer circuit in my laundry room, as it has a wash sink and my brewing room is also on that same floor...plus my rig is all rated for 30A anyway and...

I see a lot of wiring diagrams and builds using terminal blocks....but the way they are being used, it makes more sense to use a minibus as a way to distribute power to the panel. Making jumpers on a terminal block seems to be more labor intensive, but the terminal blocks look to be a...

I think the title speaks for itself.....I'll be firing my BK with electricity and would like to insulate the outside with reflectix, but it's only rated to 180F. Anyone use it on their electric BK, and if so, did it melt? :confused: A bit of background, I plan on using this for a single...

I recently purchased an Ebay Plate Heat Exchanger from Ebay seller Flatplatehx: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220682773195&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I think I got a great deal, 40 plates with 3/4" MPT (what I needed) for $79 shipped! It's right around the size/surface...
