I might even just buy some extra quick-connects and hose so I can keep the MT and HLT ones as short as possible. I waste enough money on other needless ****, why stop now!

I know Spike says to cut hoses in certain lengths and all but why not cut them even shorter to fit tighter once the system is set up? Eliminate extra hose travel??

that exactly how I had mine set up on my old system. any worries about it being 'front-heavy'? mine was certainly that way on my 15G gas fired. 20G electric arrives today!

any of you guys incorporate a sight-glass into the system? Curious where you installed it. Commonsense says on the MT return port but possibly worried about adding weight up there. Was also thinking on the pump inlet/outlet??

you using a temp probe in the mash to compare it to the mash temp on the PID to get the differential?

So are you guys raising the temp on the Mash PID 3 degrees higher to compensate for heat loss through all the hoses? thought I remember hearing something about that a long while ago.

Just picked up the 20G trio+, hoping to have it all set up soon. Great data in this thread. Now the joy of adjusting all the recipes to fit this and trying to build an equipment profile.

I believe its from lack of adequate cleaning initially. some of these nice shiny things we get are dirty as hell even when they "look" clean.

looks like they've got a canner that's marketed towards the home brewer now.

label adds about $0.50 in addition to the can as well.

Any update on the labels?

I as well recommend the SS Brew Buckets. I've also recently added the Blichmann RipTide pump and absolutely love it. Super quiet and easy to use. Cleans well too. Exchillerator is also a nice piece of equipment.

BTW, my recipe in post #6570 just won Silver in NEIPA and went on to mini-BOS in an all-category IPA contest. I lost Gold to the eventual BOS winner.

yes, one gram per gallon. Please remember I was starting to R.O. water. To be exact, this is what I did. 5.5 gallons of mash water: added 5.5grams of CaCl and 2.5 grams of gypsum 4.6 gallons of sparge water: added 1.075 grams of CaCl and .53 grams of gypsum 8 gallons boil: 3.22 grams of CaCl...

Just brewed this version a couple weeks back and by far my favorite to date. It is a total juice bomb so to add some dankness I'd move some the Whirlpool as a F.O. 6.75% ABV 37.5% 2-Row 37.5% Pilsner 12.5% Flaked Wheat 12.5% Flaked Oats 3oz Citra @ 165F for 30 minute whirlpool 3oz Mosaic...

I leave absolutely everything in tact. I will say however, I bag my dry hops with marbles and floss to keep them submerged half way so they don't sink and block the drain tube in the bucket.

I also use SS Buckets and also purge a keg the same way. However my method varies where all I do is release the keg pressure and keep the purge valve open and hook up a hose to the spigot but on the other end of the hose I fill the keg from the out valve so it also fills from the bottom but I...

What is this "milk method"?

what program are you guys designing these on and how are you printing them?

i've honestly never experienced oxidation due to force carbing.....
