First, let me address the few disgruntled
Really fellas, some may think that I gave BYO these prints to Brutus Ten. This is not the case. They were a BIG customer just like you! So I know that you are really not mad because someone else (BYO) walked into the bar and literally purchased a round for the house so to speak, even though you just purchased your very own beer just minutes before
Unfortunately catch 22s dont really work that way and thats how these things seem to turn out. I do have a new 40 page package I am finishing, and as I always said, Ill be sending that out to everyone that had the old package for nutton. I do not sell the prints anymore at my own choosing, although even today I received an email wanting to actually purchase them anyway on top of his BYO. At some point it is out with the old and in with the new man
That brings us to Brutus 20 which is unlike any other. I am slowly working on it. As my friends have known, my real job requires me many hours and travel lately so I havent had much time to put into the 20 really.
Yes
Stainless is blistering high now! I planned it that way shortly after I invented the internet. And dont think I dont have a hand in the hop prices either!
And the ASCO valves have been going now for over a hundred batches. I also had them on Brutus 5
Not sure why ASCO says different
They are a gas valve company!
Just kidding you fellas!
Now to the burners. Though the three burners are all identical, the set-up is different. The mash and HLT are temp (LOVE) controlled while the boil kettle is un-controlled; as it should be.
If you have never used your spare pot for fermenting, once you do, you will NEVER go back to carboys!
Direct fired recirculating mash; there is no better way in my book. You have better throughput, MUCH better temp control, and MUCH less hassles to deal with. Put all the returns in the lids and youll wonder what took you so long! I do recommend a FULL false bottom; take the recirculation slow and easy and let the direct heat do its job.
Say, I think I will hang around this forum more often!
