I purchased a brand new environmental control chamber from the State of Illinois surplus auction to ferment in. It creates a precision controlled environment...
I am building a single tier HERMS system. (Gathering the parts right now). I have two March 809 Magnetic Pumps I plan to mount just below the three vessels....
Most descriptions I've seen of such systems take the amount of wort that's going to be trapped in the lines into account when figuring the total volume you aim...
Derik: Maybe I could close a mash tun valve and open a valve to suck water out of the liquor tank and then just sparge through the HERMS lines and coil. What...
I'm finally getting back to building the HERMS I started several months ago and I found your question interesting so I took a look at what I had initially...
Bob: I'm not getting something with your schematic. What I was proposing is during HERMS the pump takes wort out ot the Mash Tun and sends it through a coil...
Lee, If I understand you're explanation correctly the only difference between my diagram and your plan is that you pump your sparge water through the HERMS...
Bob: I would have gone electric as it would be easier to handle the HERMS heating. (No gas pilots to worry about). However, I'll probably use the system at...
Bob: Sure wish we lived closer together. We could work on our systems together. I am going to buy the steel for my frame this week. I'm too cheap to buy...
Hi Bob: I have heard the problem with HERMS for step mashing is it is almost useless because you cant change temperature fast enough. OK on your explanation of...
One last thing regarding my single tier brew project for lurkers. I got hold of a valve expert the other day and he cautioned me when using solenoid valves of...
... snip I haven't really studied the issue, so I have no idea. How fast is the ideal step? Obviously, the ability to do it quickly enough will be affected...
Hi Bill: Your explanation sounds logical to me. I have not done it but heard this from others it didn't work for them. Possibly they fell into your stated...
Bill, I would've been insulted if you didn't say anything. I'm trying to understand all of this and you make perfect sense to me. BTW - the method of having...
Lee, I went a bit of an easier route. I just bought a big steel and oak work table since all of my stuff will just sit on top. It's a bit tall so I'll...
Looking for a second co2 tank that I can use to carbonate the beer that I have sitting in queue without having to displace my current beer in my 'rator....
The valve on a scuba tank is different. You won't be able to find a co2 regulator that fits it and you won't find anyone to put co2 in the tank for safety...
Bob: I could use the info from you on where you picked up your Quick disconnects. I have not purchased them to date. yours sound good to me. Lee ... From:...
If the valve is replaceable it becomes a C02 tank, it will be filled to C02 specs and a standard C02 regulator will work. I called my local air-gas guys and he...
What if I wanted to use the scuba tank for oxygen? I already have an oxygen regulator although it doesn't fit the tank, so I guess a new valve would still be...
Remember, it is a scuba tank, you will not find anyone legit who will fill it with anything it is not suppose to have in it. Too big of a potential liability. ...

It's a March 809 with 7.2 gallons per minute. I suppose that assumes no restriction and I'm sure there's some. It has a ball valve attached to it and of...
I got my QDs from Minibrew. It's the same place where I got my MLT and HLT. Here's the URL for the male connector: http://tinyurl.com/co65mq Here's the one...
