Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but for anyone else curious about this, you can go here and enter the lot number. It'll give the test date at the top.

One thing I always forget to do is to transfer *slowly* from the kettle to fermenter. Depending on how your kettle is configured, you could be kicking up the settled trub instead of leaving it behind by draining it too quickly. I don't see that mentioned too often, so maybe it'll help someone.

I was a little apprehensive too. I've had coffee that's sat on a warmer for hours, and that's definitely terrible. I decided to try it after reading this: http://www.madalchemist.com/archives/experiment-boiling-cold-brewed-coffee/ I didn't try it before and after, so I can't comment on...

I brewed a porter that I bottled with cold brewed coffee. I made a strong batch of cold brew coffee in the fridge for 24 hours, filtered it, then boiled my priming sugar in it and bottled as normal. Turned out great! We called it the "emotional rollercoaster" because the caffeine would hit right...

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like 1-3 Tbsp per plant. I'll start with 1 per pot and see how that goes. They've got about 5-6 feet of bines, but they've pretty much stopped growing. The leaves haven't dropped, so hopefully they're just underfed.

Hello! Russ here in Orlando. I've been growing hops in pots here for the last 3 years. My experience has been mixed so far. The first year growing them was by far the best, but now they are struggling. Hopefully my experience will help others who might run into the same problems. Spider Mite...

Hi Majd! I'm still working out the issues with my system, but here's the current iteration... The first image is the pump output manifold. The left side is the HLT return, the middle is the MLT return, and the right side is the BK return. The two inputs at the front are connect to my CFC...

I've used these pumps for 2 batches now, and here's my experience. My stand uses 2 pumps (one from greatbreweh & one from us solar). One recirculates hot and cold water through my CFC for heating the mash & chilling, and the other is used for mash recirculation, wort transfer, and whirlpool...

Thanks for the reply. I'm planning to use loc line for the mash recirculation, and I'm going to keep the flow rate low. My post did make it seem like I was going to try whirlpooling the mash.. but I was just lazy and didn't go into detail.

Continuous fermentation is something I've been researching recently, and while I don't brew enough to warrant setting it up, I had some ideas on how it could be implemented on a homebrewing level... in case anyone is crazy enough to try it. As a primer, you might want to look here. I'll try to...

I'm planning to build a brew stand and re-purpose my all-copper CFC as a HEX, similar to what is described here. I'll be recirculating both the HTL and MLT, both with tangential return ports. This will hopefully remove the need for stirring. I will also monitor the temperatures through a dial...

This post is over a year old, but your idea definitely makes sense. I arrived at the following plan by looking at other's hard plumbed systems and removing the pipe connections between the valves. I'm planning on using silicone tubing and QDs instead of piping, so I was looking to reduce the...
