I upgraded from a 10g cooler to a 15g pot with a raised false bottom. Two gallons of water fit up the false bottom. My question is: When I am configuring my recipes in beer smith, I need to add that 2 gallons to my total mash water available correct?
Does anyone have the measurement from the center of the bottom outlet on a 15g morebeer pot to the bottom of the pot. I am wanting to order a hopstopper from theelectricbrewery but I am about 8k miles away from my pot.
Thanks
Good point on the 5500w. I may go that route or use a 1500w. I'm only heating enough water to sparge with/ cover the HERMS coil. So realistically I would only be looking at 45, 50 mins to heat up the water which would be fine since the strike water is going to to be heated by gas.
I'm wanting to upgrade my HLT to a HERMS coil with a PID keeping the temp correct. It is an 10g HLT however I do 5g batches. Could I use a 2000w heating element and do you guys think it would enough?
Do the PID's work on 120 or only 240?
Also for the panel I am just wanting to built a...
I brew 10 and 11 percent beers all the time with US-05. Just did a pumpkin barleywine at 10.2 using it. However I do pitch 30 grams of US-05 and hydrate it before pitching.
Shouldn't be a issue as long as you pitch enough. I don't know that I would go much higher than 11 or 12 percent on that...
Thanks to everyone who recommended everything. We went to MadTree, Morlein, and 50 West. MadTree was OUTSTANDING!!. 50West was really good to. I am glad we don't have a Jungle Jim's on Jacksonville cause I would have no money lol
