A little off topic but when you guys are using the domed lid with 3” TC and the 90 degree blow off tube, what are you guys doing to prevent suck back of liquid during cold crash?

Has anyone tried to use the domed lid from the SS Brewtech conical with the tramontina beverage fridge from sams club?

Any input guys?

I'm thinking about a smokey Amber beer. I'm looking for hints of smoke, coffee, caramel, and toffee. I want to keep it light in color to be a bit deceiving. My first crack at a grain bill is below, let me know what you guys think. 8 lbs 2 row (76%) 2 lbs smoked malt (15%) 0.50 lbs caramel...

bbohanon, are you willing to share your recipe for the chocolate milk stout... looks awesome

I understand I should be waiting a few weeks longer to drink my porters/stouts, but 4-8 months seems like a long time to wait to enjoy or have a drinkable beer... I hate to make this analogy/ask this question, but do commercial breweries wait this long to bottle or keg their porters/stouts? I...

I am having issues with my dark beers. I have brewed around 15 all grain batches and my dark beers just don't impress me. The IPAs, pale ales, blondes, and ambers I make all taste great. But when it comes to brewing porters and stouts they end up falling short of my expectations. I have brewed...

Look into batch sparging and building a cooler mash tun, see denny conns easy mash tun build doesn't get much simpler than that... As far as kettle goes I would have to recommend a 10 gal size so that you can do a full boil, a 10 gal concord kettle can be purchased on ebay in the $75 range...

So far its been great, I have two brews on it now and you can't beat it for pure value, I am really happy with the pot and I am now convinced that you don't need tri-ply when using a propane burner, I use a blichmann burner which I would highly recommend or another style of banjo burner to...

I haven't brewed with Azacca hops, but I would probably use less hops if you wanted this to be a blueberry beer. Unless of course you are going for a hoppy blueberry beer.

If you don't want to wait too long, that bayou classic 1316 seems like a nice tri ply kettle option.

That's interesting, I wrote a few emails to brew international and they said that they should be in stock early this week... I still may buy one, this concord may just be my band aid kettle to get me through for the time being. I would prefer a 15 gal in the long run, but it was a cheap fix to...

I couldn't wait any longer for the brew international 15 gal to come back in stock, so I purchased a Concord 40qt pot for the time being which was $60 shipped to my door. I haven't used it yet but so far I am impressed with the quality of this pot. I will post a review after I brew with it this...

Brewed this a few weeks ago with the dry hop, I really enjoy how it showcases the mosaic hop... I get a biscuity taste at the finish of the beer, I was wondering if that's the wheat or the honey malt, it's the first American wheat that I have brewed

I agree, from reading the description it sounds like the thermometer and ball valve is included In addition, I wrote Brew International an email on Dec 29th to verify that they are still expecting these kettles to be in stock during the 3rd week of January and they answered on Dec 30th saying...

well went forth and ordered the brew international kettle on sunday knowing that it was backordered till jan 5th, just got an email today that they automatically refunded my order since the kettle is now backordered until at least the 3rd week of jan... kinda odd, either way still need a kettle...
