Stainless Steel Auto-siphon: A novel approach to priming a siphon
When a reader purchases a new kettle he decided to forgo adding any ports. He opted to engineer a stainless racking cane that is primed differently than most homebrewing canes.
Kegerator Tower Cooling: An alternative chilling system
A homebrewer came up with a clever way to utilize highly thermoconductive copper metal to keep his kegerator’s tap tower and faucets cold.
Homemade Glycol Chiller
If you have drooled over a glycol chilling system wishing you could afford one; drool no longer. Here is a build that is drool-worthy — at an affordable price.
Brew System Chiller: A time-saving upgrade
A homebrewer decided to step up to a plate chiller for his all-in-one brew system to reduce both the chilling time and his water consumption.

Inline Refractometer: Getting real-time density readings
How nice would it be if you could monitor your wort’s gravity in real time without constantly needing to pull samples? While this build is still a work in progress, its innovative
design is still impressive enough.
Power Your Propane Burner: Run your flames on a simple switch
Creating a safe and consistent flame that you can switch on and off with a toggle switch can be achieved with some modifications to your burner. Learn how one brewer made it happen.
DIY Draft Trunk Lines: When you want to run long draft lines
