Hi, As in my country (Romania) StarSan is not available in local shops and Amazon shipping fees are about 75$, I'm looking for alternatives. Bleach & vinegar solution diluted according Charley Talley recommendations could be a substitute. What I did not understood is: should I rinse or not the...

There are 4-5 links in total but the one I found very interesting claiming the safe usage of this blend is March 29, 2007 – Sanitizing with Bleach and Star San episode. In the mean time, the sanitation duration seems to be 2minutes !?!

Hi, please do access the site : <<https://beerliever.com/bleach-no-rinse-sanitiser-home-brewing-beer/>> . You'll find too a link to an audio file which is a record of a radio statement of the inventor of Star San. I did a google search and I found some homebrewers (not many!?) pretending that...

Wow !!! Your chiller is huge! Congratulation!:hat: I see you use a small centrifugal pump like the one I'm waaaiting to arrive from China (it looks like they use a wheelbarrow to transport it). Are you happy with the pump? Re pipe diameter. I went for Ø10mm (inner Ø8) because I red about plate...

As I had promise, I come back with 4 photos ("... the show must go on ... "). First, the chiller support made of o length of the PVC pipe used for coiling, an appropriate plug to keep the chiller standing and a piece of chip board. All this was lying somewhere in the attic so this is the reason...

Please, do excuse my error! The clear PVC tube is Ø19 OUTER DIAMETER!!!

I forgot to mention a detail about the length of the PVC sleeve. I recommend to leave it longer with 100mm at the "soldered" pipe end. At the other end, leave it 300 - 400 mm longer. You will cut the ends after the chiller coiling just before the fitting installation. I was so "intelligent" that...

Hi, I'm working on but it does not go as quick as I would like. Here are some pictures: As I'm cheap, I have decided to use PVC tube for the outer sleeve . In such a case soldering was not an option so I had to use compression fittings. If you decide to use silicon tube than you may use...

Please, do read post #23.

Of course the two heaters will be connected to individual sockets! If not for the technical reason you just mention but, at least, for the usage comfort. As soon the wort reach the desired temperature, one of the two heaters will be disconnected until the second one connection will be controlled...

Have a look at fourth picture on post#14. The-Engineer-That-Brews had use zip-ties (the black vertical ties).

Thanks for your confirmation too, Gerry.

Sorry Gerryo, but please read all my and Thatscold posts regarding the connection cable. Than you will agree the homemade one could work.

Right but two kettles and a food grade 32l polypropylene bucket cost me about £17 and I had not to pay shipping fees. Working time is rewarding for me so I don't think Peco boiler would be a better option.

For the counterflow chiller I will build, I will use 6m of OD10mm/ID8mm copper pipe and OD19mm/ID15mm clear PVC tube. To be able to use the PVC tube without melting it by soldering, I bought 10mm ring compression to 1/2" adapters . The others details are very similar to the pictures in post #14...
