love the washer

That looks great and I would have been able to use a much less expensive surface mount. Might switch to this long term.

Nice the paper towel holders are a great idea. How do you have the magnets fastened to the tray? Do you just put one on each side to hold each other and inside one sticks to fridge? So simple!

Ha good eye on the card. The problem I am having is not the magnet sticking to the fridge it’s the magnets staying glued to the drip tray. I used to part metal epoxy which I thought would be the best thing but maybe I will try it with superglue.

If I use a very short screw do you think it will be safe?

Need a little advice here, I have a Keezer I built, it has six taps that I drilled through a 2 x 4 collar. For drip tray, I didn’t want to spend the crazy money for a 22 inch drip tray so I bought two, 12 inch drip trays from Kegco, they are the wall mount version, see picture. To attach them...

Good tips thanks. Yes we’ve had tons of it a house fav. Not hazy, copper color. IBUs are 55 so I thought I’d use the Columbus to get to about 50 IBU at 60 mins, then the rest of the hops for flavor, aroma and dry hop. I’m setup to whirlpool and have good results with that before, I usually chill...

Anyone try to clone this? From their site (https://mondaynightbrewing.com/beers/blind-pirate/) I know the grain bill (but not %’s), the hops (but not schedule), ABV, and IBUs. Looking for some advice on these items and how to add the blood oranges. Thinking of taking 5 pounds of blood oranges...

Other thing is aluminum conducts heat VERY well. Would investigate how much of the rig would get hot. Would not want that extending past the top horizontal

Mine is steel and heavy. I can mange it over a threshold but it's a PITA. With two banjo burners, two pumps, keggle with Herms coil, etc, dropping weight would be welcomed. Just as hard is guiding it around on 4 wheels. Would be much easier to have handles on one end and a way to elevate it like...

Dusted off the brewery after a 6 month break. Still working well

I did! Started with distilled and added to it to make soft water for a Czech Pils. Used Bru'n water.

Posting this in Fermentation and Yeast as well, figure it's a common topic people are interested in... I brewed a Czech Pilsner on April 15, OG 1.050. Used 2 packs of fresh Wyeast 2278 with a proper starter (used yeast calculator) on my stir plate, oxygenated with O2 before pitching as...

Well what do you know, I tasted this on Friday (today is Monday) and had huge green apple smell and taste. Just tasted again and it's dissipated a LOT, still there a little but now it's something I would serve at least! Hoping over the next 12 days it will clean up more. I do have it at about...

I brewed a Czech Pilsner on April 15, OG 1.050. Used 2 packs of fresh Wyeast 2278 with a proper starter (used yeast calculator) on my stir plate, oxygenated with O2 before pitching as always. Had a strong fermentation at 50 F, on 6/27 I moved it to 68 F for diacetal rest for 3 days, it was...

For those mounting on a wall, how are you handling temp control?

Well I ended up preheating by transferring the 4.5 gallons of strike water over, held for 10 mins, transferred back to HLT then back again. Strike water was 168 and I hit 156 in the mash, was shooting for 155 so good. Overall the volumes worked out, I was a even a tad under in by boil kettle.

Cool thanks. I tested though and there is 6 cups of water below the false bottom that won't be in contact w the grain so I'm using .375 gallons for the tun dead space. This way I'll have the right grain to water ratio. But yeah I get it, will be 100% drained. Main issue I'm having is I set the...

My SS Brewtech 10 gallon mash tun just arrived and planning on doing a couple batches this weekend in it. I was wondering if anyone is using this mash tun along with Beer Smith and if so, what setting do you use in the equipment profile?
