Mofox1, Total of Topic. Sorry curiosity got the better of me. I've never even heard of "no chill" brewing, sounds kinda cool though. Thanks for the explanation. The secondary thing is a hold over from wine making. Not terrible common, unless you're say aging on oak or something similar. Don't...

TheWiggman, Thanks for posting the link on the hermit build. I'd heard people talk about the coil, but didn't understand what they were putting them in. Sometimes the brand names used are lost on me. I don't think that style of element is available to me (but to be honest I haven't checked)...

mofox1 and TheWiggman, thanks for your feedback. mofox1, Trying to do to much? Without a doubt! What I have drawn up would be the long term, down the road type a thing. One reason the cost, and also I will grow the system slowly to see what I like and what works for me. First off I will add a...

Mardoo, Short answer, yes avoid hose changes. Long answer: I will need 5 hoses to brew this method, I would like QD's to be able to hang hoses vertically when not is use. This would be to promote drainage and drying. I would only need to make minor hose swaps, V7 to BK or BK to V9 depending...

Sorry I didn't note, both MLT and HLT are Igloo drink coolers. I'm looking for a 1/2 barrel keg (15.5 gal) to turn in to a keggle. Then I could use the existing 8 gal BK as HLT since I have 2 burners. Other than that, the theory of operation sound about right? I've thought about 3-way valves...

I hope to have successfully added a simple diagram of my design. Thanks for the assist on that Mardoo. Please assume a valve is closed unless told it is open. Yellow circles are quick disconnects. A dashed line indicates a hose that will need to be moved during brewing. Only V5 would be used...

dblunn, Thanks for the tip. TheWiggman, good point on heating of the strike water. How long would you guess it takes to heat a single batch (12.5 liters of strike) if I'm planning to use a 2000w element. (120v 20amp circuit over here) I've only heated with gas thus far. I've got the system I...

4v, 2 pump, 1 LP Burner, with EHEX Looking for some advice on a design. I would like to set up an Eherms with an LP BK burner. I don't know how to attach the very basic diagram I created. Sorry. MT and HLT- 10 gal Igloo drink cooler BK- 8 gal SS kettle Ehex- 2 gal with 2000w 120v element...

Double post.

SE, what Benn said. Thanks for the toolbox heads up. I'm on homebrewtalk also I'll do a search. Cheers

SE, That is a slick idea. I may have killed off the brain cells that were suppose to be able to think of that. Never crossed my mind. I'm cheap and I don't want to have to buy the SS head unless needed, and I know I would be super pissed if I broke the plastic one. Cheers, Willie P

Mardoo, West coaster then, I'm a 4 hr drive south-southwest of Chicago. I grew up in a little hic town right on the Mississippi river, still live within 20 min of there. I did spend some time is CA when I was in the USMC. Goid &DJ, I kinda have something like a combo of those two in mind. A...

Thanks all for your inputs. Mardoo, thanks for the link to the design HEX design thread, I will have a look. I'm seriously thinking the small vessel EHEX with PID control is my next step up. Oh and thanks also for your advice on the "Yank" topic. :) (where were you at state side?) MoFox1, when...

LOL. My rig is more ghetto than bling bling, but I get your point. Good thing that Magic SS Pixie Dust isn't required to make you beer taste good, or I'd be screwed. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Willie P

Thanks Mardoo Yes the link I posted also has the SS head for $30.00 US. That's $100.00 US for pump with plastic head and SS head. From what I've read the reason for the SS head is more for protection from breakage that it is for performance, is that your take on it too? Cheers,

Thank you for your prompt responses. Good to get input from someone that has actually used these. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on one of these. Seems like a sweet deal to me, about half the price of a chugger ($70.00 us and shipping is flat rate $7.00 half way across the US) I wasn't...

Hi All, I hope this is a good spot to ask about the MK2's performance. I'm from the United States and this is my first post on your site. Started looking over on AHB because of a recommendation from a guy on HomeBrewTalk.com. The topic was 4 vessel systems with separate vessel for HEX. Seems...
