You brought down the thunder, now get ready for the https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/2p-twent-e-new-brouwerij-boerderij-kabouter-160970/
I agree with you. Wait until the full volume is at a boil, I normally wait until I get the hot break then start my boil timer, I just wanted to see what everyone else was doing.
No love?
I do have a question about boiling with electric. The water was clearly boiling and rolling when the sensor was reading 182. Obviously, because the element is in the liquid the boiling will be localized, but how do you electric brewers deal with this?
We were thinking on our next brew (the first real brew day) we would keep the lid on until the full volume reached 212º then take the lid off and start our boil timer.
Yes, Fermcap all the way. No boil-overs in the kitchen. Clean up was sooooo easy. We were completely clean including the floor in like 10 minutes.
Nice. Any reason why you didn't actually put it on the countertop? Seems like you had to do a lot of bending.
Those carboys looked pretty dang full, what was your final volume into the fermenter? I think you said you topped up....do you think that affected your efficiency calcs?
FOr me, the mashtun is the most time consuming for cleanup. Did you just dump it and spray it out, or did you use the shopvac?
Looking at this picture, someone was VERY excited about the boil
This is frickin' sweet! I'd be interested to see how it chills with just tapwater.....
I haven't tested it, but I have a sneaking suspicion it will chill a lot like a regular 20' immersion chiller
Ask any questions you have int he future:mug:[/QUOTE said:Offers like that will get you in trouble. I am learning about electricity in a big way. There will be a long list of credits when I do my build thread. Fortunatley my Electrical Engineer neighbor should keep me from killing myself, plus he likes good beer.
Great news about the insulation, both for mash and safety. I have little ones and want to brew with them around and don't want to risk a trip to the ER for a burned hand on a gas burner.
Edit: Hence the electric route.
Thanks again, Cheers
Just ordered a lot of stainless parts, and two pumps for this build last night. I'm modifying by adding a second pump and going single tier, but your build list helped a ton with the parts so far. Thanks.
Next up...electrical components...
