8 taps, pretty much always full. Make 10gal / batch, about 50gal at all times.

I have brewed on week days, just start early around 6am, done by 11. At work after that until late at night but it worked.

I am not using my RIMS tube anymore, so here it is. I bought it about a year ago from http://www.brewershardware.com/ it is a 2" tube, fully equipped. - 1x 2" RIMS tube (http://www.brewershardware.com/Tri-Clover-RIMS-Tube-RIMS20.html) - 2x 2" Element Adapter...

California weather helps, until we run out of water...

[SOLD] I bought a 2kW/120V all Stainless element from Brewhardware last week but just figured out that I do not have access to 20A outlet in my garage as I thought. This is this one: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/element2000.htm I hasn't been used and can be yours for $29, shipped...

Sounds about right, rise temp to 21C/70F for 2/3 days in order for yeast to finish cleaning-up and you're pretty much done

No mold anywhere so far, it's paying off !

This Accuflex Bev-Seal tubing is great but it's quite rigid and does not offer the same resistance / ft as regular tubing, so I run 15ft / tap to not get foam. It is kind of a pain when I need to switch kegs around, but I manage :-)

Here is mine, open. 19cf, 8 taps of goodness, enough room to store my yearly hop supply. Love it !

Looks pretty good to me, what OG are your targeting ? I would move honey to last minute and probably mash a bit higher (depending on OG, but 151/152). Also, I like 3711 but I have gotten higher alcohol when fermenting too warm, I would start around 18C and let rise to 20C/21C but not more. Let...

10gal of Belgian Dubbel, cold crashed, ready to keg.

Item has sold.

Yes it is !

I harvested 2 qt of WLP002 a couple weeks ago and made myself the same remark, smells like rubber... I have reused the yeast with great success so I do not worry about that anymore...

IMO and what I would do myself is a 150 step for 60 min, 156 for 15 min, mash out for 15. Grain bill has a lot of crystal type grain, mash too high and you will be drinking soda style beer. My 2 cents !

With both C60 and Special B, it might end up a bit sweet, especially from extract. You can drop the C60 and get a nice colored beer only from Special B. I like the idea of mixing all of this together, think out of the box, style guidelines are... guidelines ! Back in the days, farmhouse ales...

Going to have to add http://www.ssbrewtech.com/ to the list, their fermenters, both buckets and conicals, are over the top and reasonably priced !

I understand your point and it does make sense. But... I believe a brewer can learn a lot about what is going on during fermentation by looking, smelling, tasting beer as it goes. I like to do that, it is part of the brewing experience and I definitely understand other people wanting to do so...

I would have, I just received my B3-36A 20 plates ! It is interesting to see people moving back and forth between different styles of chillers !

You would take samples from the top valve. Make sure you sanitize before and after taking the sample. You might be pulling trub/yeast from the valve, I would recommend waiting to have dump the majority of the yeast from the dump valve (bottom) before taking sample from the upper one. You should...
