You might be able to reduce the DMS if you use a darker DME (or darker malt if doing an all-grain batch of starters). Based on my googling, pilsner malt can have 8x the DMS potential as darker malts, even pale malt. Apparently, the kilning process helps reduce DMS. Learned a lot here.

Did you get my PM? Are you still interested?

Yes it is. It looks like we live across the country from each other, but if you are interested, I could do a zoom or facetime walkthrough. I'm also researching freight shipping options.

About the same risk of infection as a volcano.

Is the controller still available? I would get more parts, but cost-prohibitive due to need to ship.

Looks great. If still available, will you ship? will you sell individual components?

The brewer's friend website states that efficiency for extract recipes only applies to the steeping grains and that 25% is a good place to start. Otherwise, the losses that relate to brewhouse efficiency are not linear so you wouldn't want to use that variable as a percentage for scaling a...

I've been brewing off and on since I convinced my dad to show me how when I was 19 (so 19 years ago). He started in the late 80s! I'm now setting up a dedicated brewery space and looking to build/assemble Kal's Electric Brewery. Selling my Brau Supply brew-in-a-conical system to upsize. Looking...

Things that can impact blow-off: 1. Inadequate head space: If the there isn't room for krausen formation between the beer and the top of the fermentor, it will come out of the airlock. 2. Fermentation is too vigorous: Very high gravity beers or too high of a fermentation temperature will create...

Mash, boil and ferment all in one compact vessel! This 6-gallon batch size electric homebrew system uses the "brew-in-a-conical" ("BIAC") technique to allow all-grain brewing in a single compact vessel. While the mash and lauter steps are similar to a kettle-RIMS (K-RIMS) technique, the BIAC...
