Everything looks great, having issues soldering. September 29, 2017 Reviewer: Stephen Schmida from Minneapolis, MN United States   Followed the steps in the video and I cannot get it to flow to the seams of the fitting either.  Seems to bead up and roll off rather than get sucked in.  Any tips? Brewhardware response: Definitely something to give us a call to work on. There are many reasons why solder would bead up. Since the only item you've ordered from us is the kit, I don't know what kind of flux you might be using. It MUST be Harris Stay Clean LIQUID flux. If you're using anything else, that's the immediate cause. If you are using the correct flux, it could be overheating causing the flux to burn off. You can reapply the flux as necessary to clean burned stuff away. It could also be overheating the pot and not heating the fitting enough or vice versa. The parts may not have been cleaned up well enough and degreased. Was this review helpful to you?

Element enclose September 28, 2017 Reviewer: Douglas Bishop from Lawrence , KS United States   Bought the silver solder 1.5" TC flange with the encloser. Excellent product design and super quality. I am upgrading to all electric in my system and brew hardware . Com has all of the quality parts I need to build my brewery. Pricing is excellent and worth it. Was this review helpful to you?

Make sure to watch the Video September 7, 2017 Reviewer: Victor Suarez from Johnston, RI United States   Like the title says make sure to Watch the Video Bobby posted on how to solder this thing and actually follow the instructions, you will have little to no problems.  My Soldering skills are non existent but I was able to solder this on my keg and it's water tight.... Just also make sure to have enough solder on hand, I had done 4 pull throughs prior to tackling this and came up a bit short on my first attempt.  As far as the Hot pod itself,  super easy to put together just make sure you have a small ratchet (I used 7mm) on hand makes life a lot easier.

Soldering did not work February 12, 2017 Reviewer: Idan from New York   I'm pretty good at soldering but after several attempts at soldering this to a keg I gave up - it just doesn't work. I used 6% silver solder and gave it my best using the videos here as reference but apart from making a big mess the solder wouldn't follow and the stainless fittings wouldn't stick. When I was chatting to a welder friends he said, silver solder doesn't work on SS, it's a myth. BrewHardware Response: Essentially what you're doing is calling me a liar. I've demonstrated the process in several videos and it worked perfectly. Further, we've sold at least 1000 of these fittings to hundreds of customers who have had success just as I have. We silver solder at least 20 fittings per week and have done so for the past 4 years. I'm not sure if this review was written before or after we spoke on the phone, but you admitted to using paste flux. I informed you that you must use Harris Stay Clean LIQUID flux and that's the only way it's going to work. Since this review is based on bad information, I'm changing the 1 star to 3 to be more neutral. If you have a problem with that, call me. Was this review helpful to you?

Excellent idea and execution October 7, 2015 Reviewer: James M Via from Lebanon, PA United States   I've been waffling over going electric for the last few years and the Hot Pod is what finally convinced me to make the jump.  I live in an apartment so propane is out of the question unless I'm brewing at a friend's place.  I like that you can just cap off the tri-clover ferrule when you don't want the element installed.  The hotpod itself is a simple, elegant solution to house element wiring.  Also, thanks to Bobby's detailed instructional video, installing the solder-on ferrule on my (now defunct) Penrose kettle was a breeze. I'll definitely be recommending this to anyone looking to go electric. Was this review helpful to you?

Great product! September 28, 2015 Reviewer: CMarcelle from Houston, TX United States   This flange and enclosure is a thing of beauty. I actually brought it to work to show some fellow brew buddies and engineers. The flange fits to my 15 gallon keg perfectly. Was this review helpful to you?
