    Fermenator G4

    Seems so according to the website: Fermenator™ G4 - Cooling Coil

    Fermenator G4

    I'm interested in the G4 but I'm not sure from the pictures on blichmann's website whether the coil would be big enough for cold crashing? I don't mean lagering for extended period of time, but few days of cold crashing with my glycol chiller for fining, carbonating, etc. Have you had a chance...

    Cold Steep Extract Efficiency

    Hi @J@W2, It turned very fine and I'm still enjoying this keg very much, although the final attenuation was perhaps more than I was hopping for. I like my stouts full bodied and this one had quite a light body at the end for an 8% beer. I used Mangrove Jack's 42 (think US-05 with 80%...

    BIAB Efficiency Calculation

    Thanks @doug293cz for this very helpful chart. Your explanations, together with this article (Declining Extract Efficiency at Higher Original Gravities) and the corresponding chart (extract efficiency) helped me finally understand why my efficiency varies, and how to accurately plot it. I have...

    Glycol chiller reviews

    Hi there, I have the SS brewtech 1/5hp glycol chiller, that I use with my two 5 gallons fermenters. Looks slick ;) Yep, the whole set up wasn't cheap and it took me the best part of two years to get it all, but it's worth every penny. It's my best hardware purchase, seriously, and helped get...

    Cold Steep Extract Efficiency

    Very interesting! He wrote "If you really want to fine tune your recipes you can use the difference in fermentability to adjust your final gravity calculation. These would be: -6% for C10 -20% for C40 -26% for C120" I used Special B, chocolate and roasted barley so all C120+ and got a similar...

    Cold Steep Extract Efficiency

    I have always wanted to try the cold steep method for dark and specialty while brewing a stout, but the lack of literature on extract efficiency with cold steep somehow always stopped me. I was especially interested as cold steeping would enable me to lower the amount of grain in my main grist...
