My rig is a 🦕 I really love to look at these systems. I would love to be an inside brewer. I’ll tell my 3864 this weekend it’s riding in a Maybach on the way to the chamber! Love it!
I only secondary high OG brews that I want off the yeast. Brewed my RIS yesterday that will ferment for 2 weeks. I’ll then put it in a secondary for a month with oak soaked bourbon. Only beer I use any secondary for. I’m sure additions of fruit and such would be fitting as well.

Drove to Indianapolis early and it worked out. Visited the zoo, cloud free, 75 degrees, we had a great day. Crazy how a few stars show up. Driving to 100% really worth it. The drive back however, never again!
I’ve never tried to go slow while underletting. I just rock it in there and stir after I move hoses and such. Huge difference from the days of stirring grain into a filled MT. Now there’s no balls of grain. Brewing an Imp Stout this weekend for the Holiday season. It has been a long bit since my...
I mix it with distilled in a 5g jug. I use it all year. I’ve never had any PH reading out of wack. An hour, that covers them for every water mixing hardness. The harder your water, the shorter the life. Mix it with distilled and no worries.
S-23 is a fine yeast IMO. It can handle warmer temps too. I also make sure to do a D rest with it. It is better for malty styles. Leaves the beer with a fuller mouthfeel. I’ve medaled with it several times in euro malty lager styles.
34/70 is a chewer. It leaves nothing on the yeast side. Dryer...
