Thanks Demon! I've been brewing on the 4bbl psycho brew system for 3 months now! A few questions on your new system. Are you able to raise temp in the mash tun? How? Can you post a pic of your false bottom? What do you sparge with? How do you remove the last of the grain you can't...

Can you tell me what heating element is in the keg washer sink for the cleaner?

What kind of pump are those? Where is the inlet to the keg? What size if the manifold 1''? I am trying to build one myself. Trying to figure out how to get from sink>> pump. And what Pumps to get. Also what kind of tubing to use to go from sink>pump>manifold. Currently we have 1/2'' tubing and...

Can you tell me about your tankless hot water heater? Could you digitally control the temp coming out? Could you get it to 170~ for sparge water? Did you mill your own grain? What hop utilization did you use when doing caculations? Any tips on mashing in and cleaning out the mash tun...

I just found this post today and wanted to tell you that our brewpub in southern Illinois Du Quoin St. Nickals bought this psycho system from Bucket List and it just got delivered to the brew house. We plan on getting a 5bbl fermenter from same Psycho brew and kegging our beer to start and get...

So pick em?

Here is the inside

Mt.hood plant I don't know if the plant has a disease or if its just sun burn or dry from the dry summer, it is in direct sun all day. Not all the cones have these dead parts of the cone. But can I still uses these or are they not good? Or time to harvest?

So everthing is working out with the beer and I just needed to relax don't worry and have several home brews!

UPDATE: First off hydrometer reading gave me the gravitys Today 10 days later raspberry saison is at 1.002 !!!! Tastrs great nice and tart. Non fruit saison is now at 1.010 and still has visible action. I'm going to transfer tgr fruit saidon to secondary to get off the raspberrys, clear up and...

Looking at the airlock now the fruit one is going crazy and the one still in primary bubbles every 15 sec. To clear up any confusion both are at 1.025 after 4 days of active fermentation. I bet If I would have waited another week they would have gotten down to the target of 1.005

I took the gravity reading from some beer left in the primary. I did this about 30 min ago and I already see mad fermentation. The fruit is fresh from the backyard I froze them and crushed then re froze the thawed over night in fridge. I didn't take a reading after I added the fruit but just...

I made 10 gal of saison with 3711 yeast 1.058 gravity. 9#pils 10# pale 1#munich 1# cara40L. Mashed 150. Split into 2 carboys pitched a activator pack into each on Thursday the 1st at 65 degress let rise to temp 75 had a nice fermentation ..now its the 6th karisen fell and I decided to add my...

I have 2 packs of 3711 saison yeast im going to make a 10 gal batch and split into 2 carboys its going to be 1.050 wort. mr malty says I should add both packs and make a 1.8 L starter. But I have brewed a saison of equal strength and pitched just 1 pack at 65 and let rise to 75 it got down to...

I made a 5 gal batch saison 3711 with this yeast and just pitched the activated pack. I mashed at 149F OG was 1.052 and the FG was 1.005. I pitched at 68 and let rise to 75. Now I want to make a 10 gal batch and split it in 2 carboys and make a starter and split the yeast between the carboys...

I brewed an alt 2 weeks ago and it still has thin white foam on top. I pitched at 62 and cooled to 60 and keep it there for 10 days. just bumped it up to 62 thinking it was about done and I needed to put the blow off tube back in LOL I'm going to keep it in primary for another week then rack it...

It is actually not good in the long run to dump everything from your kettle in to the fermentor. Polyphenols from the malt and hops react with the proteins in hot and cold break to make haze in the beer. The polyphenols can be oxidized and become pro oxidants which help other compounds oxidize...

My hops are I'm there 2 nd year and I didn't cut any extra bines last year and i was wondering if I should let them grow free again or if i should only keep so many bines?

1 wire between 2 trees cloths line down to the plants. I have 3 of each cascade columbus and centennial and one mystery variety... my friend got a rhizome for free and gave it to me. This is a cascade.

The weird thing is the one with more volume has a lower FG....
