Very cool, very informative videos. This really aids in understanding AG.

When I get chance I'll try and do a set to compliment it using the KISS method and batch sparging.

The conical fermenter had been in use for well over a year, but I elected to do a 5 gallon batch just to keep things simple when it came to moving. The beer (now bottled) traveled well inside my utility trailer, and it will be aging in the apartment closet until late summer.
Not the intent at all!!! Listen to the concepts rather than focusing on the equipment. All you really need are two kettles in which to heat water (a boil kettle, and a hot liquor tank for the sparge water), a mash tun (cooler with a "strainer" at the bottom), a way to chill the wort, a fermenter, and a bit of patience.Brew Dude said:Those videos have effectively scared me away from the concept of all grain brewing, at least for the time being.
Dude, talk about a complex setup. I'd lose my mind if I had so many variables to track during the procedure.
I've got a longggggggggg way to go in my brewing knowledge.
I'm humbled for sure.

FWIW, it's very simple. I don't use PID. It's just simple on/off control with temp/pressure differentials to prevent short cycling.
