We have tons of access to the Rexroth aluminum but I'm not sure how to raise the pots without running into the same issue. I think we have to use steel to raise the pots in order to keep the heat in the aluminum down to a minimum.

For the second test, we basically took the casing we built to hold the burner and put it on top of the stand which helped.

To all... My friend and I finished building our brew stand today made out of aluminum Rexroth extruded pieces and ran a first initial test on about 10 gallons of water. I noticed after 10-15 minutes of burning, the stand was extremely hot due to the burners being recessed. We decided to move...

I emailed my township to see if they could provide me with more details on the water chemistry. Not expecting much though from them... If not I may email the brewery to see if they could provide the full water chemistry details since they gave out some of it already.

I got it from my local brewery's website...

Can anyone help me with this water profile? Just looking to get some information and how to improve it: 80 ppm - Calcium 70 ppm - Magnesium 20 ppm - Sulfate 40 ppm - Alkalinity pH - 8.4 Any help would be rocking.

Hi all, Just poking around to see what everyone does to anchor the hop twine to the bed/dirt/ground? Currently, I have the twine dangling freely on the ground and letting the hop vine climb up it, but i'd like something a little more taut for the summer... Cheers.

Is it necessary to force carb before aging (30psi, shake, purge, 30psi, age) or just hit it at 30psi, disconnect co2 and then let age?

It would be right next to it in the same fridge... I may have to look into that...would I need a dual regulator though to tell how much is being released in each keg?

Hi edmanster.. So force carb (30psi, purge, 30psi, shake, purge, 15psi - leave in fridge).. at this point would I leave it hooked up to the co2 tank for the week in the fridge? I only have 1 co2 tank/regulator, so i would have to unhook it from the current keg I have hooked up to do so. I...

I think overall this is what i'm looking for.. Keg the beer and let it sit (warm or cold) then carb when ready then drink.. I guess i'm not really concerned if it's carbbing while it is conditioning as I can just force carb when i'm ready to drink it.. I just want to make sure while it's...

I guess that is another question.... should it be carbbing during aging?

I think I may go this route... blast 30psi, purge oxygen, 30psi and then leave it in my fridge to condition until tapped. My main concern is that it prevents any oxidation, if it only carbonates a little bit due to the 30psi left while conditioning, i'm not too worried. The seals are new so I...

I thought leaving the 15 or so psi in the keg could carb it up slowly? I'd rather not use priming sugar (just personal preference).
