I've been fortunate enough to grab two plate chillers and was wondering which method is more efficient? Run them in series or parallel? They are both Alfa Flaval CB27-10L, Approximately 12" x 4.5" x 10 plates. Should you split the flow of wort & chilling water or connect them in series? I...

Roll tide!

I see 4-5 micros in the area. Any recommendations from any locals on the board?

Will be there for a week next week on vacation. Anyone familiar with the breweries in the area? There appears to be four from the google search. Any recommendations?

Recipe loosely inspired by Cigar City Jai Alai. It turned out extremely well. A hop bomb for sure but not overly bitter. I was really wanting to test the impact of large late additions. (Flame Out & Whirlpool) Batch Size: 5.50 gal Style: American IPA (14B) Boil Size: 9.25 gal Style...

IS anyone familiar with this PID controller? I have one & would like to use it as a fermentation controller. I have read that it has two sets of outputs that could be used for a heater & a fridge/AC... I have attached a link to the PDF with the wiring schematic if anyone could assist...

Hello all... Just finished fermenting an IPA (bordering on a double).. and undecided on the dry hop... Here is the pertinent info on the recipe. Just need to settle on the dry hopping.. OG 1.072 FG 1.012 Malt bill is 50% maris otter, 25% vienna, 25% munich 10.. ******FWH, .50 oz Ahtanum...

Well... Decided to shut down my tropical fish hatchery & convert it into a place to store all of my brewing "stuff", move my electric rig in & possibly add a cold room. I have 2 freezers, one vertical & one chest. I could possibly add a wall, insulate & use the A/C unit to keep at...

Having some issues & troubleshooting some things... If you measure continuity of the output side of the SSR (pin 1 & 2) while the PID is turning the SSR on & if the contact is closed - it should read as a short, right?

All: Is the dome in the bottom (or top) of a 1/4 bbl keg steep enough to handle yeast/trub accumulation in the same way that a conical would? I am considering converting mine assuming it would. If not, I'm probably going to buy a fastrack fastferment plastic. Anyone with any experience...

Could any of the experts here help me with the drawing below? I intend to run a twin element Kettle as shown. Each element has it's own 20 amp breaker. I will also be adding a PID/SSR to control a HLT. Due to amp loading limitations, I need a selector switch to select between powering the HLT...

First of all, I have a stainless table that is 48 X 24 & intend to build a HERMS brew stand from it... Here are the particulars... 1) Six gallon batches (7.25 gallon boil volume) 2) Single pump (for now at least) 3) Will run 2X 1650 watt/120 volt ULWD elements on the kettle powered by 1...

Tired of this; & In favor of; (Vessels are more spaced out than shown)

Hello... I have 2 X 115' (estimated) coils of 3/8" 304 SS that I would like to convert into a IC. Would 2X 55-60 ft coils in parallel be the way to go? (6 gal batches).. I hope to use the other one to make HERMS (eventually) or Jockey Box chillers. I would like to maximize the efficiency of...

... Pics to follow. Both are in great shape. The Tap tree is solid stainless. I replaced all of the stainless screw hardware & thoroughly cleaned all of the faucets. $150.00 + freight Here is a link to the conical. The stand that I have for it is different though.. $100.00 + frt...

Anyone familiar with their IPA? I have completed what I think is the malt bill, still a little fuzzy on the hops but really trying to determine the dry hop.. Anyone had it? If so, it seems to me that the aroma is distinct & I would love to duplicate it.. Have only done a couple of...

Any experienced brewers that could tell me if I am missing potential pitfalls with this method? Basically, I have many more kegs than I have spots in my keezer. In an effort to keep something in the pipeline, I would like to condition all of my beer in keg as a secondary while using corn sugar...

Hello all. Been lurking awhile. Major beer fan. Not into home brewing (yet!) but have always wanted to have my own tap in my man cave. Anyway. Nothing ground breaking but proud of it nonetheless.
