i really like it when a DIY video take the time to show EVERY step. really good video. Did you ever change the battery in the smoke detector that keep cherping in the back ground?
@ColoradoFlyFisherMan I felt like that too. I wanted to make sure it was clear and every step even on this simple project was covered. As for the smoke detector, I did change the batteries, but it kept chirping for some reason so I disconnected that one....lol
@Runenaldo it was an estimate based on how I was going to build my pickup tube. I used some copper fittings ands the 90* I was using meant I'd need 1.5-2". Plus putting it that high gives u more surface area and I had a washer on the outside as well
Nice job...I was looking for a video on this because I'm heading in this direction. Also plan on getting a site glass/thermometer combo from Bobby M to do my HLT.
@jturie I am going to do the same I am going to do a video very soon showing some of the items I have been accumulating...I am actually in the process of gathering steel for a brewstand build. A Brutus 10 style system. Single tier 3 vessel with a single pump (for the time being as I am a batch sparger, i'll get a 2nd pump once I start fly sparging) But I am planning to get a lot of video and still shots of the build as we go along and post them here.
There arent alot of videos detailing builds (tomroeder has one). I am not planning to automate mine (at least not initially). It will be a manual Brutus 10, although I will probably add a switch for the pump to ease in the on/off of that...
Nice walk through, I have the weldless fitting. I have a stainless steel keggle I plan to install it on, hope it drills OK. I had heard that drilling stainless steel might weaken the metal around the hole, if anyone knows about that, pass the information along. My only purpose is to drain my boil pot into my carboy, no pumps. Could I end up with more trub drawing near the bottom versus the ability to raise and lower my copper racking cane?
@bjcpc0337 I have heard the key with SS is to use plenty of lubrication and teak breaks and let the bit cool. You should whirlpool after the boil and during cooling and allow the hot break and hop stuff to settle in the center of the kettle then route the out pickup tube to the side of the vessel. You may still get some but much less than the other ways and it is def easier than a siphon.
Nice job and good detail! I think a ball valve is pretty much essential for any large sized pot and very easy to install.. I'm thinking about moving my dip tube over to the side and start whirl pooling.. for one, I use hop bags but would like to do away with them to try and get better utilization.. or maybe try and find a better solution for filtering the hops and cold break into the fermenter.. I also just installed a site glass and LOVE It! Video coming soon!
@TheKonaboy65 Thanks! Yeah, the battery on the garage alarm is dead and I have been to lazy to change it...lol But if I film out there i should def change it...thanks for noticing...lol

Nicely done. Looking forward to future vids as you build out your system.

@jakecpunut Yea, the next installation I am doing is a site glass/thermometer combo once brewhardware (Bobbyfrom NJ) gets restocked.

Nice job! What's next a side mount thermometer well?

@ihikefar Yeah, I plan to add a short thermometer right above, or just to the right of the ball valve...and maybe a sight glass....
