On co2 I had a gallon sour in 3 days.

I have a bottom drain inverted keg for my bk and pull from the bottom. The cop cone forms is own kinda filter like grain does in the Mt. Cave drain is a non issue

I used the stainless cfc from northern brewer but the whirlpool was weak. I now recirculate through the herms coil with two water in the hlt and ice blocks. I use maybe 15 gallons of water to cool

Lutra is what the breweries I work at use for all their seltzers

They know. I was under the impression the way they brew they actually make a 8% and then cut it with water to make the end product.

It's still fresh brew on!

Cost is a *****. Current economic situation made me stop homebrewing and got me to get a job at a craft brewery. The benefits are double for me. I get free beer, they pay me, and I work under the head brewer, who has taken a liking to my extreme work ethic, and I get to learn more everyday...

Lmao **** macro

Oh, there is an inkbird controller for 100 bucks that can control one stick. If you pump your wort through your immersion chiller while it sits in your boil kettle or hlt now you have precise temp control.

I have 2 1650w elements in my kettle and hlt. Cheap effective and better than gas. Good on you for making the step to electric brewing!

Yes, but it gave my pale ale time to condition and now it tastes awesome!

Rad I'm in!

Ungovernable Very cool of you!

^whoops

Any stainless bucket with a sealing lid will work great. I used Chapman buckets ($100 each) for years. Only recently went on to a conical and I sometimes wonder if the buckets were slightly easier since they are more simple. Just wish they could hold pressure for cold crashes.

Well that doesn't look hard at all, or you made it look too easy. Good work.

1 yes big no no for me 2 why? If it's for clogging reasons I'd rather rethink my racking process instead personally. Like adding a filter or float pick up tube. 3 I ferment, cold crash and hop at the same time (takes 3 days to drop from fermenter Temps to 36f) I also semi carb during this period...

I run my wort through my herms coil and fill the hlt with ice blocks. Works better than my cfcs ever did. The larger diameter keeps the whirlpool strong and at the end I fill my fermenter with the wort exiting the hlt and it is in the 60s.

What type of build are you going with? I would not want to clean out a mash tun that size from the top.

Conical are cool but heavier than a stainless bucket. I have both and use both. I like buckets better but mine don't hold pressure.
