If your tower/font is located remotely (as in not on top of the keezer/kegerator) then liquid cooling is going to be a must. Otherwise, air-cooling can be done with less fuss, especially if your tower/font us "n" shaped with two channels back to the storage compartment. Internally glycol...

Chi Company, Inside Flange, part number 12B03161: https://www.chicompany.net/beer-store/beer-dispensing-equipment/shanks-tailpieces-parts/shank-parts/repair-parts-for-draft-tower-shanks?zenid=p9ict71e4mu1pr55l1la8ke8n6

I definitely like the clean lines on your installation as well. You have the added advantage of two separate mounting points as your font is an "n" - with a "7" or sideways "L" and only one mounting point, plus large 4" piping I'm afraid the otherwise thin lip of the TC flange just isn't big...

Bit of a necro-post, but since it's revived, I might as well chime in. I took delivery of the parts for my new font before taking off on holiday early last month. It'll be constructed from 4" TC parts. I hadn't seen anyone else make one out of TC parts when I ordered mine, so this thread is a...

This thread is like a conversation about who makes the best steak, McDonald's or Burger King. Hilarious for reasons that escape some of the posters/readers. Even those who don't post much but have spent a fair amount of time reading know that the drama here is all political run-off from the KK...

If you're bottling, you might as well be buying beer from someone else. "Keg or nothing" is how I feel about homebrew.

Thanks for the reply. Those were the two primary places I found for these faucets. I'm looking specifically for the name/contact for the place in Florida from which the bulk buy in this thread was made.

Necro-posting here... Does anyone know the name/contact information for the seller in the US from which this bulk purchase was made? I'm looking to do a bulk purchase myself and any additional sources would be welcomed.

You're wasting a huge percentage of the spring filter by leaving it straight. Use a Tee instead of that elbow to force the straight section into a curve to open it up more and also to aid in draining. Also, not every extension spring is the same - if this idea were as simple as just getting a...

IMO, consult this thread about Lauter Helix https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/lauter-helix.95579/page-6#post-1478352 Or look @ BAC Springer filter.

If I may, the point he was making is that while the compressor is running, the power consumption is essentially static (max) - there's no proportionality, it's either ON or OFF. The second point is that commercial appliances lack the insulation of consumer/residential models (especially those...

Similar... 2L soda bottle, carbonation cap and a ball-lock gas line from a CO2 tank and you have beer ready to sample in 2 minutes with some shaking.

What was the pressure before lowering to 8psi? How much CO2 is dissolved in the beer?

SSR = optically isolated trigger with TRIAC switching. Silent. Nothing to wear out. YMMV.

There's no need for schematic. It's much less complicated than wiring any ardbir which will also require SSR. The Grainfather connect has inside it an SSR - opto-isolated with TRIAC switching, and a mechanical relay which trigger mains voltage on an industry standard IEC C13 plug - TRIAC with...

Not to put a huge wet blanket on the current direction of the thread, but scooterism asked about the Grainfather controller, so let's respect that and not try to hock some other DIY solution. I also have a lot to say about ardbir and all these other solutions, but this isn't the place for it.

Yes, except most people are using DC to AC SSRs triggered by a low voltage (3-24vdc for example). There are two ways to do this, about the same difficulty. In any case, you should be able to buy the parts from eBay. 1. Grainfather Connect -> IEC C14 connector/cable -> AC-AC SSR -> Heater 2...

If you use an appropriate external AC-triggered SSR, you can control a load of any wattage your circuit can handle. I plan to use a Connect to control a 5750W heating element.

The basic sankey adapter (TC cap drilled & fit with 1/2" Tee or Cross) is decently priced at Norcal, but shipping to Australia might be killer.
