Thanks!

Gentlemen, The wife and I recently welcomed our first kid into the world and naturally, the rig is having to find a new home. I built this rig over the past 5 or so years. It’s a two tier HERMS with 3 keggles, a chugger pump, plate chiller and two burners all on casters. Between the HERMS...

Woke up this morning to an overflowing blowoff tube on the Oktoberfest. All is well. Glad I listened to the wisdom of the predecessors on this thread. I appreciate the help.

Has anyone used WLP800 on anything besides a Pilsner? I was a little apprehensive about using it on the Oktoberfest. I didn’t know if it would dry it out too much and cut into the big beefy malt body I was looking for

Word. Thanks for the input gents

The one on the bottom has the Krausen and airlock activity, the picture makes it look like the catalyst on top has krausen also but it’s just the foggy condensation on the outside of the fermenter.

So I made the dive into the lager world this weekend. Ended up doing two beers, a Munich Helles and an Oktoberfest 5 gallons each. I ended up using WLP 800 since it was the only lager yeast available at my local shop. I made a 1.6 liter starter using one pack for my Helles and a 2.5 liter...

Just put the finishing touches on my rig tonight. Added some more heat shielding to my burner bays and hooked up my gas lines. Doing my first brew with it this weekend. Hope it doesn't turn into a Bon fire.....

Appreciate the feedback guys. First of all, I know the pump is upside down, I was going to flip my head before testing it out. In regards to the charring concern, I might go back and install flashing that covers the entire height of of the 2x6 and install some fireplace insulation between the...

This is my first rig that i have built so far. I wanted to do it right the first time and so i went with a 2 tier option so i only need 1 pump, the Mash tun is gravity fed down to the boil kettle. I also went ahead and made the top tier detachable if i ever decide to turn it into a single tier...
