Sorry for the much delayed response. I have found that the hop blocker works well using pellet hops (not bagged) if I am recirculating my boil kettle with a pump when I add hops during the boil. The constant recirculating motion keeps the area inside the hop blocker relatively clear. I keep...

I have been looking into this and wondered specifically what (if any) differences there are between the Brutus method (not starting cross-kettle recirculation until after the mash is complete) and the Breweasy method (using cross-kettle recirculation throughout the mash). If you used the same...

Interesting. Do you have the source article? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for the tip on pickling the brass. I may give that a shot. I found this article which explained it a bit more: http://powersbrewery.com/pickling-brass/

I know I am a couple of years late to this thread, but I was thinking about this exact same approach. My only concern not previously addressed is what to do about the brass fittings on the counterflow chiller (water in/out ports). For chilling, this is no problem, but when running hot water...

Sorry for the delayed response! My most successful recipes so far have been the Belgian Golden Ale and the Robust Smoked Porter... both are fantastic. I am still fine tuning others. Right now I have a Barleywine and a Belgian Wit on tap. I am also lagering a Kolsch but will soon let it start...

Hey All. I have used the HopBlocker for about the last year with a Blichmann 10 gal. Boilermaker and an immersion chiller. I have not had much success but that may be due to user error. I typically only use pellet hops (free floating). At the end of the boil, I stir the wort in a whirlpool...

I also brewed an Irish Red Pub Ale in there somewhere... so 12 batches in 15 months. The Golden Ale, Porter, and ESB are the kegerator currently with the IPA not far behind in secondary.

Hey all! I have been brewing beer at home since August 2012 here in Owings, MD. I have brewed 11 all-grain 5-gallon batches (below) in that time and have rapidly jumped in to this addictive hobby. All have turned out well and I have learned much from these forums in the process. I recently...

All FYI... After a bit more time I opened one up for Thanksgiving and it was well carbonated! Thanks again for the feedback. Also, I mentioned this experience to one of the guys at my local homebrew store and they said letting the bottles sit in a tub of warm water for a day will get the yeast...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a couple of weeks and open another and let you all know how it goes.
