Hello- I am looking at a few types of 3bbl - 3.5 bbl systems and wanted some advice on an idea. I have access to natural gas and currently a maximum of about 100a panel. My thought was to go with a 2 vessel set up and a Rinnai 199 tankless heater. The BK would be electric, with 2-3 6000 watt...

Hi all- I'm building a 50 amp panel using the e-brew supply kit. As soon as I turn on the key to power up, the spa panel immediately trips. I changed the key switch an same thing. I took the key switch out of the circuit and nothing, so I'm left to believe that the issue is with the contactor...

Hi all - I’m looking for some ideas for chilling large batches. I’ve been using the cyclone from Jaded for 10 gallons but it’s slow and wasteful for 1 bbl. I borrowed a plate chiller but it clogs easily and seems slow too. I may be using it wrong..... I’d like to find something easy to...

Hi all. I was considering upgrading my electric service in my garage to accommodate a 4 element system in which all 4 elements could be on at the same time. Then I got to thinking, what’s the point? Even in a back to back situation, it would not be necessary for all 4 to be on at the same...

I’ve been thinking of ways to dry hop sans 02. This was what I came up with. Drop the hops in the tube. Flush with Co2. Cap the top. Open the butterfly valve. Close valve. Remove tube. First attempt resulted in an oz of Citra cannon blasting all over the garage. Can’t forget to remove...

Hi all - I’m beginning to piece together a 1 bbl system and would like to avoid the high price tag of an off the shelf panel. I’d like a 240v panel that’s capable of running 4x5500 watt elements, 2 in bk, 2 in hlt. I don’t think I’ll have the capacity to run all 4 at a time, so that will have...

Hi all- I've been trying to get in touch w Corey for a bit to no avail. The brewtronix website had an interesting message posted today: "With the recent release of the Raspberry Pi 4, we are currently closed until fall as we look to redesign our product line and spend some much needed...

Ok - this is very specific, but I thought it was worth a shot. I’m looking for a cooling coil for the 10 gallon Brite tank. Thanks!

Hi all - I'm working on an IPA inspired by Ft. George in Astoria, OR. They brew wonderful beers and some of the best IPA's I've ever had. While this is not meant to be a clone, I am hoping to get into the ballpark. And if you've never had Ft. George, no worries. I'm up for any insight...

Hi all - long time brewer but relatively new to electric and indoor brewing. I'm curious to how people keep their indoor spaces relatively clean and dry. I'm brewing in a large garage bay and have gotten into the habit of simply hosing out the bay and fermenting fridges for cleaning, letting...

Hi All- I brewed a high gravity Scottish Ale and it is tasting rather sweet to me. Granted, I have not yet carbonated because I'm wondering if I should warm it up or re-pitch. Here's the recipe: Size: 8*gal Efficiency: 75.0% Attenuation: 75.0% Original Gravity: 1.095 (1.070 -...

Hi all - looking for some direction. I've done lots of fest type beers and never had this issue. I needed room in the ferm chamber so I decided to rack an Oktoberfest into a keg and lager from there. I didn't check FG as I assumed it would follow the same pattern the others had. I checked the...

Hi all- I'd like to get back to a more NW/West coast IPA recipe. I's like some feedback! The bitterness / IBU is never right w beertools late additions, so I would expect it be a bit more like 65 IBU. And the FG in BTP is never right...... Expect closer to 1.012 21-A American IPA Date...

I transferred to keg today. Initial taste is promising. I'm not really sure what I was aiming for! Original Gravity: 1.059 (1.045 - 1.060) Terminal Gravity: 1.015 (1.010 - 1.015) Color: 9.95*SRM (5.0 - 14.0) Alcohol: 5.76% (4.5% - 6.0%) Bitterness: 28.5 (30.0 - 45.0) Ingredients...

Last Fall I entered my first brewing competition with an IPA recipe that was modeled off of Grey Sail's Captain's Daughter IPA. I wanted a lower ABV and slightly more West coast take on it. In any event, I ended up taking first place in the Oregon Fall Classic, which surprised the heck out of...

I've been using a 50 ft 1/2" chiller for a few years that I really do like. But I've gone all electric and I do a fair amount of hop stands and such. I don't like the immersion coil siting on the element, nor do I like not being able to close the lid. I'm considering the jaded cyclone or their...

I tend to learn the hard way. I found a "Welder" on CL and had him add a new coupling on my MT. Apparently he didn't listen very well to my instructions and did not weld it so that I could use the threads on the inside. Here are my choices: 1. Bring it back. Ask him to tap it or fix it 2...

A little background first. I've been brewing for 10 years or so with varying success, using a variety of methods, processes and equipment. I've been brewing on a 10 gallon, 3 vessel propane system for a few years now, complete with a homemade 120v control panel and brew hardware rims tube. I...

Hi all - I currently have a 240v 3 prong outlet - a NEMA 6-20 T slot. It is the only outlet on double pole 30a breaker, so it seems like it would be easy to change this to a different outlet. Here are the options: 1. change to a "normal" 3 prong 30a receptacle, use a spa panel and...

I need a second pump to complete the eherms set up. Let me know if anyone is letting one go!
