    Proper way to use a Plate chiller

    I have had good success using my plate chiller till my last batch when my ground water has gone up 10 degrees to 71f. My normal chill time was less than 20min for a 15 gallon batch. I would recirc my wort to the top of the boil kettle on full blast until I would get close to 100F (usually I...

    blichmann burner propane usage

    I finally ran out of propane using my new blichmann burner. Before when I had my jet burner I would get 2.5 10g batches. Started 15g batches and am getting just over 3 batches. I will have a more accurate number this time since a test boil with new kettle was involved in the last tank. Still...

    Once you CIP you don't look back

    I just got my CIP ball all set up for my conical and wow what a time saver. I used it to clean my bottling buckets too ( I use them to ferment in not bottle). I will definitely be using it to clean my empty kegs too.

    Pitching to yeast cake

    I am going to be brewing the same brew I have in one of my fermenters next week and was curious if I can just throw the wort into the bucket on top of the cake? I have seen it talked about but I have not found anything definitive. Thanks

    I have a bazooka tube type of strainer for my brew pot. I am loosing a lot of wort due to clogging of the tube. I can scrape it of and know it with my stir stick but it still clogs and I loose ~1.5g per 10g batch. I am only doing small beers right now so only 2-3oz per 10g batch. Should I...

    I just got Bobby M's add a pump kit minus the pump ( had one already) and was shocked at what a difference going to 1/2" lines made on my brew day. Saved at least an hour from my 1/4". My question is how can I convert from cam lock to ball lock. The reason I ask is I like to use my corneys...
