Welcome from WI as well. I’d like to put a cyser on tap.

Coincidentally I was talking to a guy running the local brew store and he had a 20 gallon solo and said he seems to be stuck on 65% efficiency. I’m happy with the 70-74% I’ve gotten so far on my system. I wouldn’t be happy with 65% even though it is just a number that can be made up with a...

I think the main concerns with dead space are efficiency concerns and temperature concerns. Some of that is indeed alleviated I believe with dual recirculating. Dead space I think can be considered liquid not in direct contact with wort during mashing. Some people refer to dead space as what is...

I have up for sale a Spike gift card that I purchased that I no longer need. It’s just the code and not a physical card. Expires 11/27/2024. It is for $250. Selling for $225. Code will be emailed or distributed however you prefer upon payment. Thanks!

I’m in the Mukwonago area. Not too far can possibly meet if needed

Brand new in the box. BrewBuilt x2 14 gallon. Get it for a steal. $500. SE Wisconsin.

Interested in the chiller. Is it the 20”? What is it shipped to WI? Thanks
