I have built multiple mash tun out of coolers and slotted copper pipe. I prefer 1/2 inch pipe with 90's and Tee's. These can be adapted quickly to a bulkhead...
I also use a large (1/2") braid that I bought as part of a conversion kit for my cooler. It lauters like a firehose. - John I could see how their minds worked,...
If I remember well, there is Bob O. that did an all electric brewing system, an HERMS. He could possibly get in touch with you. I have seen some pictures on...
I've got mine going now. I've made a few adjustments (simplified) the system from my original plans. It does work pretty nice. I'm still getting used to...
Hey Bob, I have a dual regulator on order from Midwest Supplies. I needed this to operate a beer gun as well. I decided to spend a little extra on the...
I've been buying a lot through Midwest lately myself. Most recently 16oz flip-top (Grolsch style) bottles. The best price break is 4 dozen at a time for a...
Marco, I was meaning to ask about your BJCP classes. Do you have someone in the club that's certified or are you doing them some other way? I'd be interested...
Thanks for your help, Bob. I'd really love to see what you have in relation to the process you underwent to build your system. I'm extremely interested in...
Not a problem. I have a busy evening ahead, out of town company, but I'll try to get you all of my documentation if I get a moment. That would be my design...
That is easy to do. Splice your gas and liquid lines with a stainless T fittings. Run a 12" hose to the quick disconnect fittings. All can be found at...
So, I'm on the hunt for beer kegs, but the world seems to be depleted of such a wonder. Anyone have some tips on how to go about locating beer kegs at a...
I've got a perpetual craigslist keg search, they get posted up every month or so in the San Jose area. I can usually get them for around $30, depending. I've...
It's getting too late tonight after all of the homebrew, wine, and liquor that I've had plus needing to get up in about 6 hours for work to make the updates to...
One word - Sabco. Maybe not the cheapest but if you don't have a connection at the local brewery to receive decommissioned kegs *legally* this is about the...
<Snip> So, I'm on the hunt for beer kegs, but the world seems to be depleted of such a wonder. Anyone have some tips on how to go about locating beer kegs at a...
I recall almost a year ago, before I luckily found mine in the trailer of the lawn man ($20) that Sabco announced they can no longer get Kegs to refurbish...

I like to do it the other way around.... Plastic primary (usually a 7.5 gal bucket with lid and airlock). Then into a glass carboy. During the primary the...
Yeah, that's one heck of a subject. I brewed a batch of beer yesterday, trying some different methods for my otherwise not so great efficiency. But ran into a...
... I'm not one of the big guys, but I have used a separate mash tun (picnic cooler) and lauter tun for almost 20 years. I don't remember what my efficiency...
You may need to reduce the speed of your recirc. Too fast a flow and the bed will compact causing a stuck mash. I am sure you know this but sometimes it is...
I have used the ones with the shut offs and I regretted spending the extra money. In the end, I had to drill them out to get rid of the mechanism. They would...
