I have used 2 Kveik strains so far, Lutra and Hornindal. Loki is a Voss strain but I am sure it will act the same as the other Norwegian farmhouse strains. The only thing I can say to look out for is, use a blow off tube! Both of the strains I have used so far rip through the wort quickly!! I...

Here are some pictures of my HLT with HERMS coil

Sounds like a mess to clean up! The coil in the hot liquor tank is just surrounded by water, no sweet sugars to invite bugs in between the coils.

I have been on a Bolt Thrower kick here lately!!

Whirlpool hose popped out of the BK while adding hops! (I don't have the bulkhead fitting installed yet...) No burns and no major mess just sprayed a few ounces on the garage floor.

I found this on thechive.com I don't know if it has been posted before or not, i just could'nt resist sharing this!

I have Jarhill pots; I paid $110 bucks for the 3pc set (96/70/49 QT) back in 2013.. They are not awesome or even great but they work. I have used them several times and just recently converted one into a EHERMS HLT. I also have been using a propane burner for the boil kettle without any issues...

I signed up yesterday! We may need to form a study group! :tank: LOL!!

How about when you are watching football on TV with the sound muted so you can listen to a podcast on the brewing network about yeast!?!

I brew with only one cooler... I heat my water in a 10 gallon stainless stock pot (HLT) and when at the right temperature I add the water into my cooler (mash tun). While I'm waiting for the mash to complete I add more water to my pot and heat it up to sparge temp and then batch sparge. You...

Yeah, that's the nema 6-30. Its pretty much the same. I would probably just leave it as you have it. Having the neutral as the ground with a gfci breaker would probably be the safest, at least it will work if it has too...i think! LOL!! The system i just wired in is a four wire system with a 50...
