yes these are the V3 kettles With the standard lid. I do not have the condenser

Has anyone gone for a 3V eherms to the AF? I have a 15gal spike trio and want to sell and downsize due to moving to Boston and family time. any major changes in quality of beer or regrets downsizing...?

Has anyone experienced a higher gravity reading while actively boiling? I checked my gravity 60min into a 90min boil; it was at 1.051 so I cut my boil short. When the wort was cooled and transferring i measured a 1.047 reading? Please note..my refractometer is calibrated and reads...

Honestly, I was a little down and thought about selling and downgrading. also because we’re moving to Boston in the near future. But this has re kindled the love And I’ll adjust accordingly. Thanks for the help Bohern.

Holly cannoli...1.045! with 10.75gal into BK (I checked three times with refrac) Added two pints of HLT water to BK and now at 1.043. Haha this system finally worked for me. now I need to figure how to not boil off too much. Est post boil should be 1.045 and this is a kolsch

Just marked my spots. flow going steady to BK at the 35min mark. HLT is closed and now draining mash. Est. pre boil is 1.036

Do you know how many turns you set the flow control to for sparging? for instance, my flow control valve is at the closed position when the clip is at the bottom...half turn is pointing up

Is it the recoverable dead space? BS has the default as 0.32 gal for the 15 gal system. If that’s the case then I don’t need to top off my mash tun

I’ll have to look and see if anyone is selling a used one On the market. For now I’ll go another few batches to see if I can nail down a routine. Although I’m inly brewing every two months now that we have a 1 yr old. as far as water to add to mash. do you account for the herms coil? BS...

Been a while since someone posted in this thread which is crazy. Hopefully you guys haven’t given up on your spikes. does anyone use a blichmann sparge arm with their spike system? I have a 15 gallon system but only brew 6 gallon batches. Not sure if the lower mash volume would render the arm...

thought I would post here since essentially I want to try a version of BIAB. I have a 15 gallon spike herms. I want to do full volume mashing and would like to know if anyone does this?
