Is there links to other information of steam boiling? In my Fluids/HeatXfer class we are doing a project of basically modelling a brewery from the standpoint of you guessed it Fluids and Heat Transfer. So any other threads about steam brewing would be appreciated. FYI this project got the ole...

That is pure awesomeness! WTG Ed!

That is awesome, that is close to what I would like to build. After I finish at Uni and buy a house with space... Subscribed.

It depends on the style of beer. This article has a some good temp information http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art35683.asp

Through Luck HawaiianHippie brought this to the top: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/diy-fermentation-cabinet-86815/ That is almost what I was thinking of making, just with better insulation and a top rather than side that opened.

Boar: I have a temp of 110 in the summer down to -17 in winter so fall and spring are the only times that yeast can survive. Luckily SWMBO keeps the inside at 55-85 in the winter so I can ferment inside but I would like more control to avoid unpleasing flavors and dead yest. bdav: Thanks for...

I have been thinking about building a fermentation chamber for quite a while, but not having time has been a big deterrent. Recently some friends moved out and had a spare 6000 BTU window AC that I snatched up. So I have a space of only about 2' by 4' to work in so the chamber will not be too...

On a bit of a tangent, why can't political figures say to relax and have a home brew? Because none of them home brew? or what?

That build looks gorgeous. Where did you get the gold leaf from and where did you learn how to apply it?

I hear you about an apartment not being the place to dream of going AG, especially if you are married. I have 2 more years until I am done with Uni to even have the possibility of living in a rented home let alone my own home. I love watching all these projects and can't wait to someday add my...

Thanks for all of the suggestions, but I think the real problem was that my Step Mother In Law does not know what type of beer I like and instead told the guys at the HBS there that I drink ______ beer when at her parties, not realizing that that is the ONLY beer she has at her parties...

I remember the Schneider Weisse that we had in Munich had a strong clove and slight banana esters. I was wondering, because the WLP300 Yeast makes a stronger clove flavor at lower temp while it makes more banana esters at higher temp. Has anyone ever fermented their batch in 2 separate primaries...

The O.G. was 1.032 and F.G. was 1.010 I have some WLP300 for my next batch, It fits the bill of what I wanted in the next one. I'v accumulated ingredients(for the next one) from suggestions I have seen around here. Hopefully i never have to use another kit...

It was only 2 1/2 weeks in the bottle, and just 2 weeks in primary, no secondary. I know that beer gets better with age but I wanted an idea of what it actually was because I chose none of the ingredients. Honestly I hopped that my step mother in law knew more about my beer tastes, guess 500...
