Hey all, I recently used my Tilt to track a beer’s fermentation and about 4 or 5 days in, it stopped working. After I bottled and had a chance to look at the Tilt, I noticed a small amount of wort had gotten in through a crack located at the threaded end of its plastic casing. Here is a photo...

Hi all, I recognize I am stretching the limits of what is appropriate to discuss here, but I am just starting to get into metalwork and want to incorporate it into my DIY brewing projects. While learning how to use a MIG/TIG welder and plasma cutter are definitely on my to do list, l only have...

Hi all, I am in the process of building a motorized mash stirrer for my Blichmann BrewEasy using copper tubing flattened into fins like this (H/T to @Lonnie-Mack): Given that the manual for the BrewEasy says you should leave the bottom 2/3 of the mash bed undisturbed when stirring the mash...

Hi all, Though I am not 100% sure yet, it is looking like I might have a stuck fermentation. One of the ways some people recommend restarting fermentation is to give the fermenter a swirl to kick the yeast back into suspension. While doing this is feasible with carboys, I have a stainless steel...

Hi all, I have a Blichmann BrewEasy which (as you might know) normally looks something like this: However, I (like most of you) am constantly looking for ways to improve my process. As a result, I am thinking about putting my counterflow wort chiller in between the boil kettle outlet and the...

Hi all, I have a Blichmann BrewEasy which (as you might know) is a K-RIMS system consisting of an MLT stacked on top of a boil kettle so that mash temperature is regulated by circulating wort drained from the MLT over the boil kettle’s heating element. Normally, the BrewEasy looks something...

Hi all, I recently got a Tilt hydrometer and started using TiltPi so I could monitor and track/log the fermentation of my beer inside my house. It worked great for the first brew after setup but a few weeks after that one finished, I started a new brew and dropped the tilt into the fermenter...

Hi all, I am thinking about building an electric mash stirrer to use to rake the top 1/3 of the mash bed on my 10gal Blichmann BrewEasy in order to eliminate temperature pockets, prevent channelling, and improve efficiency. To do that, I need a motor but am not sure how powerful it should be...

Hi all, I am looking for a way to heat water from my garden hose to use for things like mixing with PBW or as part of my conical's CIP cycle. Ideally, I would like something that is inline (or at least relatively compact) and only requires 110v power. Given that it is not for heating...

Hi all, I have a Blichmann BrewEasy and I am trying to figure out where the best place to put the temperature probe is. The instructions seem to instruct me to place the probe either in the flow control manifold installed on the Command Stand (#1 in the photo below) or in the return point to...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been posted before but I just got a Spike unitank and want to use my Blichmann BeerGun to bottle the beer that is fermenting in it right now. However, I have only used the BeerGun to bottle from a keg so I am not sure how I would go about doing it via a unitank. I...

Hi all, I have an SS Brewtech glycol chiller hooked up to a Spike conical and it is really hard to keep the hoses from kinking right above the barbs connecting them to the top of the chiller. Anybody have any tips to help me avoid this? Thanks!

Hi all, I just bought a CIP bulb for my spike CF10 and need a pump for it. Most people seem to use submersible pumps but from what I have read, water used in CIP systems should be significantly hotter than what most submersible pumps are rated for. As a result, I was wondering if anybody has...
