Tell you what- Both cryo hops and kviek, are gamechangers.....Kegged 10 gallons last night (3/5 brew date), 12 gallon batch on my BrewEasy. Hornindal fermented at 90 degrees, drops like a rock. Grain to glass under 2 weeks (Fastest I've done) The crypo leaves so much less trub....My carboy had...

Hello! We are finishing our basement, and the wife asked a few weeks ago "What about putting in a kegerator since you make beer?"......I smiled and nodded. Looking for a dual tap, built in/undercounter model (24 inch).....Any suggestions/advice?

In NJ.

So earlier this year I made a "3/16 IPA" that was a disaster. First dumper in a long time.....It came out muddy (see IPA1 & 2 photos)...Unreal, it was undrinkable. I recently kegged an American IPA, its been in the keg for a couple weeks now, and I'm not crazy about it at all. (IPA 3/4 photos)...

This may sound dumb, but what the hell. I find my IPAs finish 1.012-1.016 for the most parts and the yeast “does it’s job” meaning it’s attenuated within advertised range. I’ve used Chico, Kviek, Dry English (usually Omega), starters on stir plates, etc. low mash temps. So I guess my question...

My final brew of 2019 would be a NEIPA with some nice 2019 crops of hops (Warrior at 15, then big whirlpool of citra/mosaic/galaxy)...Was shooting for an OG of 1.074/1.076ish (8 gallon batch) -My mash conversion was super low after about an hour mash (1.040 (51% conversion), should have been...

Hi all- I sent their support an email, but its Sunday, and I got a brew in primary now, and using this temp controller for first time. Question: It seems the controller is always in either heating or cooling mode: Shouldn't everything be "off" if within range? If I have it set at 64, with a...

As of now, I have a 7G Brew Bucket (love it), and a 6.5G glass carboy. My system is a 10 gallon Blichmann Breweasy......I brew 7/10/12 gallon batches with it. Temp control is chest freezers (2). A 14G Spike/SS Brewtech conical with temp control would run me $900-$1000. For me, it doesn't make...

I’m sure there are a thousand threads on this, but what the hell... Sitting here sampling a NE IPA that I kegged on Friday night..(early, I know) but can’t help to think I am once again underwhelmed by hop aroma. I’m sure being under carbed isn’t helping, but this is consistent with my...

Hi all- I currently have a 10G 240V Blichmann BrewEasy. (15G MT + 20G BK). Pump, and chiller., I saw the horizontal 2 vessel pilot system they have on their site (https://www.blichmannengineering.com/20-gallon-electric-2-vessel-pilot-system.html), and it got me thinking- Going horizontal...

Hi all- Doing a BIG IPA for a birthday brew on Friday. Banging my head again wall here....Using Brewer's Friend (which is great), but the Mash Calculator is driving me nuts. Need help with what my mash Ph is (Thinking 5.45 is a great target) System is Blichmann BrewEasy, this using full volume...

Made a similar version of this last year, came out great. Decided to bump OG up (looking for 8% ABV, dry stout, roasty coffee/chocolate, not overly sweet), decided to go with Omega British Ale I (WLP007), previously used Irish Ale Yeast with great results. Added roasted barley to mix as well...

Hi all....A couple of questions on water/efficiency. Due to my well water, which has a Ph of 7.7, I can't get my mash Ph (according to EZ Water Calc & Brewer's Friend) below 5.6 (that's with salt additions). My system is the Blichmann Breweasy, and my efficiency expectations are around 65-70%...

Went electric. $125

Would up with 12 gallons of 1.044-1.046 delicious looking wort today. My efficiency is getting better! I have 1.5L starter on stir plate of Omega Double IPA (Conan) that's been going since Wednesday. Batch is in 2 different fer mentors (6.5 & 5.0). Do I just take my chances and split...

Hi all- Planning a brew day on Saturday and I had taken my pump for BrewEasy off a few months back for some cleaning.....Went to assemble this evening, and I cannot get the quick disconnect or Blichmann connection back on. This is probably obvious, but: Would you agree the threads are...

My outdoor faucets seem to be frozen! No water for plate chiller. Got 10 gallons in the BK now. Heat off. What is my move here? Can I pump the 200 degree wort into glass carboy and let nature do it's thing? What temp is safe for glass?

New to all grain, have the Blichmann BrewEasy. I'm not all that familiar with calculating efficiency, and I do not expect very high efficiency with this system, I do know this: I need to do better. Use Brewer's Friend for my calcs...I am still tweaking the settings. I have been setting my...

As I was chilling into fermentor, dropped 6 inch piece of silicon tubing into fermentor. Thinking this is a non-issue. Ease my mind.
