Another perk is knowing you'd get full utilization. Thanks again, I'm definitely leaning towards it.

Thanks for the feedback! Pellets is what I'd primarily be using as well however hop usage would likely be around 5-10oz normally. Very tempted to just pull the trigger on it.

Sold my plate chiller with my last setup so I'll be using a immersion chiller. With my plate chiller I did use a stainless hop spider and worked great, but I realize I won't be able to leave a big one in the kettle while trying to also put in an immersion chiller.

I recently just picked up a used 10gallon BrewEasy. Getting ready to break it in but was curious what others are using to contain their hops? I was reading some good reviews on the Anvil Kettle Strainer and was curious if others are using it with success? I'm hoping to find something that...

I'm pretty sure that is true for the transfer equipment. I've set aside some transfer equipment for this Brett beer, but I figure I can use for it any other sour beers. I guess my biggest concern would be once its kegged ( the tap lines) or if I was to bottle it (the beer line & beer gun), if...

Do these same cleaninng processes apply to strains such as Lacto, Pedio, etc? Or this specific to Brett? Like i said above, the packaging process of sours is something I've never really thought about until now.

Correct.. NB being New Belgium. Good to know and thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

Sounds good. Thanks! Off topic (kinda).. but I have a keg of Tart Lychee on tap. I dont know exactly what souring yeasts NB used for that beer, but would this same process of hot water, PBW, more hot water and star san work for cleaning out the lines?

Just star san? What about stuff like BLC? Just thinking that if I was to end up kegging it, and running it through my lines, I likely wouldnt run star san through them. Just a warm BLC solution and some water. Would this also hold true for any of the other wild yeasts? Just wondering for...

My Brett beer is about where I want it so I'm getting ready to start the process of carbonating and bottling. I have seperate racking equipment i've set aside for this, so I'm not worried about contaminating it with the bugs. That said, I plan to rack to a keg to carbonate. From there, i...

Called up Duda and after talking with them I decided on the 40 plate version. Hopefully it gets here before the weekend so I can test it out this weekend

Agreed. And i definitely have recently found out its not just about the plates. I wish the Terminator had more stats on the site like Duda. Almost seems like Duda has nothing to hide or keep a secret. Just looking at purely the size, the Duda seems to have alot more surface area which...

I do like the mounting bracket. Duda's have nice mounting studs that will bolt in nice to the current mount I made. I have a 40 plate "shorty" style plate chiller that i'm looking to replace with these longer style ones. Worked good when I could recirculate, but its not keeping it with direct...

I already have the pumps. The Therminator is $200. I'm not sure of the plate count on the Therminator, but the 40 plate Duda I was looking at was $209.

How did you like the performance of it? Thats the one I'm currently looking at
