Hi Joe, I would stay away from any welds..... John Blichmann didn't go that route, and I wouldn't either. Go to his site, and read up on his fermenters... they...
Built a Herms rig similar in design to the Sabco Rims unit. My herms exchanger is 50 ft of 1/2 in copper in the sparge kettle. Water here in Baton Rouge is...
Hey there, For brewing indoors I use a 6 gallon catering "Burco" water boiler which I picked up from a second hand catering supplier for £30. I have a 3KW...
Your high pH in the water is due to dissolved minerals , typically magnesium and calcium carbonate which would react with copper to make CuCO3 (green ) Cupric...
I'm still learning about this stuff..Is there anywhere a simple diagram of such a setup then photos later so I can learn the geometry and operating principles...
Don't get too paranoid about welds and microscopic holes. Brewing is about numbers, one does ones best to keep on top of sanitation, and we then pitch such...

On Tue, 07 Mar 2006 19:11:46 -0600, Nic Bourke ... Not a bad thought if you have two pumps. I added a small gear motor with a fan, about $3 from American...
The second pump is one I picked up as surplus for around 20 bucks, it isn't food grade or magnetically coupled, but it doesn't need to be because it only ever...

A funny thing when you really think about it. We all get so concerned with mega-sanitation and such, and then forget about how this all started and how we got...
Mike, Try picking up one or two 6" buffing wheels, an arbor that will chuck in your drill motor (the arbors that are flat on the outward end & have left hand...
