70bux.....

I built this tower but no longer have the fridge that it sat on. 1'' thick wood. Very deep red color in the right light/sunlight. All mitered corners. Top is removable for access (ss screws - I don't have them in in these pics hence the gap). Has two holes for standard shanks, and could fit...

Smacking hand into forehead.....

Me too. Don't know where the apricots come in. Would love to be able to make something close. Don't like the blonde or dark either.

Just kegged the stout and heating up some cleaner. Surprisingly, I had to use a wrench on the 10'' clamp to avoid CO2 leaking out when I pressurized at 2psi at the end of the ferment prior to cold crashing. Would have figured finger tight as I have always done with other sized clamps, but...

The O2 is a gas and the propane a liquid.

It reduces the viscosity significantly, making it easier to pump.

I too used CIP for many years. I'd say it worked fine other than the occasional stubborn krausen ring. I just think that a manual wipe is a lot faster and easier. I crash to the low 30s as well. I don't transfer under pressure any more now. I usually set a spunding for a couple of psi at...

There's a couple of things that I've never liked about this vessel and was considering selling it and getting a glacier tanks 1/2bbl or the like. Couldn't quite justify the funds, so I took another route and altered the brewhemoth to make it better suit my preferences. The rack port is too...

Glad to see the updates. Keep em coming....

Sure, but how do you know where the conversion is at when you denature?

Enzymash has high quality enzymes in small quantities. The problem I see with cultured enzymes is getting them to stop where you want them. It's easy to have a ferment drop to 0sg.

Are you filling the barrel as part of a club/group? Asking as I've never heard of the big KY distilleries using anything but 53's, other than maybe odd-ball experiments. That's pretty neat to have access to barrels from weller etc. nonetheless.

I'll check when I get a chance. I did use a controller. It's a ranco-type that I stole from an old aquarium project. I hacked the wiring so the other powered parts of the freezer would still be operational even when the controller is not activating the cold side relay. I drilled through...
