Certainly some unique ridge boards on that building :oops:

One of my favorites...

🤔

I've never had that happen but I can't say why or why not. I circulate ~150°F standard PBW solution through the pumps and valves and herms coil on my 3v2p rig for ~30 minutes - and keeping the solution hot with my bk burner - while frequently "exercising" the ball valves to get cleaner toward...

I would not change a thing if this is the "issue" - because it actually isn't an issue... Cheers!

And there are a ton of them!

PBW isn't that effective as a rust remover, it's more attuned to beer stone and carbonate scale and general cleaning. For rust removal an 8% (by weight) hot (150°F or higher) Citric Acid solution is very effective and inexpensive. Given you're dealing with stainless and presumably just water...

"Pattern"? That plan can't be for real...

I would circulate 150°F PBW and observe the outflow to see what if anything is being displaced and do as many cycles as needed (ideally just one) to have it running clear. Cheers!

If you followed the instruction's math you would have used ~8.3 gallons of liquor. Less the grain retention I would think the pre-boil volume would be 7-ish gallons. To get close to the recipe OG you'd need to boil that down to the prescribed post-boil volume. Shouldn't be a quality problem...

Got my mashing on! A little late but it'll do... Hit the preboil volume/gravity/pH on their noses, on to the 170°F whirlpooling! [edit2] Got it done - finally - and hit all the numbers to the fermentors. Leg definitely slowed me as I'm not allowed to kneel, and dragging the spent mash out...

Another solid - dare I say dominant - game by Boston, to take the win 3-1 and now lead the series 3-1. Brad Marchand again was a key player, putting a goal and a superb assist on the board. He's one open-net playoff goal away from setting a league record (he had a couple of billiard shots just...

Haven't been able to brew anything since late February and I'm jonesing hard. Gonna see how my post-surgery leg holds up while doing a batch of all-Citra neipa tomorrow. Got everything staged and ready to go for when I get 'round to it in the morning... Cheers!

Has to be the best outcome we could hope for...

That is just weird...
