Don’t need the tap but if the price is right… Chrome is fine. Thank you!

I am downsizing my house and just no room or time for this hobby so I am selling my brewing equipment. I built it from the ground up by referencing the “electric brewery site”. I do not have pictures as it is in storage from moving. It is in excellent shape. Includes: 3 ss kettles- not sure on...

I plan on brewing about 3.5 gal of a pale lager. Og around 1.50. I am using 34/70 for yeast and am curious if one 11.5 gram packet would be enough? Plan on pitching around 45 degrees. The packet says it is enough for 20-30 l I think but that seems very high!

I see on some recipes that the roasted barley is added at the end of the mash. I would assume that this is due to brewing with low ra water and the roasted grain would throw the ph way low. So instead they mash the base malts and crystal and adjunct s together which gives a good mash ph then...

If I am going to do a d rest since I started warm (60) and then chilled to 51 for fermentation, would I raise it to about 61 for a few days right near the end of active fermentation then drop it back down to 51 until I transfer to the keg to lager? ( transfer will be in about 2 weeks, currently...

I created a starter for my lager using wlp 830. I pitched it at 60 and figured if the starter was a little small that pitching it warm will help it a little. My question is how long should I hold it at 60 before starting to cool to fermentation temp of 51? About how fast should I cool it? My...

I have never made a starter so I am looking to see if my process will work. Please advise on my process. 1. Morning on day before brew day I will prepare the starter by boiling 2 l water and 200g of dme to make the wort. 2. Cool the wort to roughly 75 degrees and add to sanitized growler. 3...

After fermenting in profile mode, which worked PERFECT! I am now carbing the keg naturally. So I turned it to fridge constant since I can nit monitor beer temp and it is not that critical. Will the Pi update to find the best values for the predictive turning on and off? Just curious because I...

Does anyone know if the amount of sugar bs gives is accurate to carbonate a keg? Does it go of of the batch amount? Or how does it calculate the amount? I am kegging a beer that does not fill the entire keg volume and wondering if I should adjust the amount bs is telling me. I am naturally...

I am about to naturally carb my corny. From what I understand I determine the amount of sugar to add based on the entire volume of the corny since the headspace pressure will equal the pressure in the liquid no matter the liquid volume. When I work the math to find the amount of sugar I get an...

When changing the temps with lager yeast what rate of change is a good rate? 2 degrees per day? 1 degree per hour?

It has been a year in the making but I finally have it done. Lots of help from people on here for ideas and times when stuck on certain projects. I have went from a cooler setup for mash and a brewbelt for fermentation to my new setup. I have an eherms with a homemade panel box and I upgraded my...

When using a false bottom that has 6 liters to reach the bottom of the screen do you count this volume in the mash volume? My thought is that the 6 liters counts towards part of the mash volume. Ex mash volume calculated by Beersmith is 12 liters. I would just add 12l to the tun and dough in at...

What do some people get for mash efficiency when using NB crushed grains ? I have never used them before but I have some gift cards to spend.

I plan on measuring my water, wort, etc with a ruler or calibrated stick. Can anyone tell me how much expansion I would get between room temp water and say wort that was just mashed or boiled? Is it really enough to compensate for? My typical volumes would be around 4-5 gal. If I just base my...

So I have just finished overhauling my brew setup (from coolers to kettle EHERMS) I used to calculate and design most everything by hand with my old equipment but since time is of importance these days I am thinking I am going to use my Beersmith2.3 software to design and keep track of things...

When you order a kit and it gives you a set number of grains and a target og do you figure the batch size based on your specific efficiency of your brewing equipment? I have never ordered a kit before and usually have ordered my grain amounts according to my batch size and efficiency. What...

Quick question. In looking at the diagram. 3 and 4 says ssr. 5 and 6 says ssr and al1. Which to hook to my ssr input? Is 3 and 4 always "on" and 5 and 6 on and off with the setpoint and what the pid is commanding based on the desired temp?

I have been in the process of setting up my three 8 gal kettle HERMS for about a year now. I am to the point of installing my coil and I had an idea the other day. I can not think of any negatives but since I have not used a system like this I am curious if I am missing something. My thought...

My rtd has two whites and a red.. Whites labeled "b" and red labeled "a" how should I hook these to my ta4? I tried what I thought was right and get uuuu in the display. Do I need a jumper anywhere?
