    What Is Hoch-Kurz Mashing and Some Other Questions

    I'm returning to brewing after a long hiatus. I used to do German decoctions, but as I started out with single-infusion British ales, I'd like to start with an ale this time around. Does anyone know where to find Weyermann's step-infusion recipes? They had different recipes for different...

    How to attach a wooden side to a stainless steel work bench?

    I guess I could always cut that piece of SS that I have to size and attach it to the top and bottom of the work bench with SS bolts and nuts.

    How to attach a wooden side to a stainless steel work bench?

    I have some thin SS at home. How would you hang a bracket from the work bench? Sorry - my DIY skills are limited, but I'm willing to learn!

    Attach hop filter and chiller, and a couple of pumps.

    Thank you - that makes perfect sense.

    How to attach a wooden side to a stainless steel work bench?

    Right - so you'd drill the holes through the front of the bench, and tighten them from the back, under the shelving?

    How to attach a wooden side to a stainless steel work bench?

    I'd like to attach some equipment to the front of this work bench. How would you attach a wooden side to the front?

    Thank you. Something to look into after my move and when the new brewery is up and running.

    Long fermentation and clearing stage

    I had a unfiltered cider recently that was very good - probably one of the best I've ever tasted. The brewer stated that he keeps the fermented cider on the lees for 45 days, and only racks it once before letting it age. I'm wondering if other cider makers here have done something similar? My...

    SS FTSs Temperature Control Coil on a Blichmann Fermenator?

    I've been able to build the unit but I haven't put it to use yet. I've been too busy with family matters. But I plan to use it after Christmas. I'll post then and let you know how it goes.

    Optimal Temperature for Internal SS Coil?

    I've already run the gamut of lowering/raising ambient temperarure in a chest freezer using an STC-1000 and a paint can/light bulb with carboys, to fitting a SS fermenter with a heating pad and a Ranco controller (this worked fine until the pad developed a short and the fermenter developed a...

    Optimal Temperature for Internal SS Coil?

    I've DIY'd an internal cooling/heating coil for my Blichmann 14.5 G Fermenter and I've had success in the warmer months using chilled water and a pump. Basically the pump turns on when the fermentation temperature gets above a set point and turns off when it gets below a set point. Question...

    SS FTSs Temperature Control Coil on a Blichmann Fermenator?

    Just an update: The compression fittings from Brewhardware were too large and I'm going to return them. They were good about it, as usual, and I ended up getting another piece of hardware from them for another project. I got the compression fittings from StainlessBrewing that will fit the...
