PART 3 of 3 8. Instead of building a fan unit to chill the tower I elected to utilize the conductive properties of copper tubing to chill my beer lines. I braised 2 11” lengths of ½” OD copper tubing to the crosspiece of 2 copper T connectors. A 3” piece was then braised to the leg of the T...

Newer brewer here. Started 2 new batches over the memorial day weekend, my 2nd and 3rd brews. Both are partial mash kits that I decided to play with a little bit. I went to check SG in priamry today and am concerned i might have an infection in the honey IPA. Wort/mash fermentaes profile...
