Got me a BM, now I just have to wait for them to ship it
If you want a peek at what is coming... Search Flickr for mchrispen. I have a Sabco set.
Its on the truck and on its way. It's half way here sitting in Norristown, PA. Can u tell I am getting excited? LOL! If I googlemap it, it's less than four hours away. Should I meet them half way? LOLOLOL!!!
Norristown is less than 4 minutes away from me, would you like me to check in on it? :rockin:
Sooo did you take delivery of it? I love mine, feel free to pm me with questions. I am still learning but have done at least 20 batches with it including several double batch days.
First brew, while I was nervous, went very well. It was a white IPA. They have a suggested recipe in the instructions, a pale ale if I recall.
Hardest part is managing the hybrid sparge, getting it to go as slow as possible. That took some practice to get right... So plan for slightly lower efficiency at first. You can also batch sparge, but I seem to lose some mash efficiency.
Once it is setup, run a full oxy or PBW run all the way through, then clean water. I went full volumes with pauses in each kettle. If you measure carefully, use the volumes to figure your system loss... There's about a half gallon total with all of the plumbing, but I understand there is slight variation between systems.
Congrats again and enjoy!

Brewery In A Box!!!
deepcdan99 said:Are either of you guys with a BM using the low pressure LP burners? My main burner is burning a huge yellow flame and caking the bottom of my brew kettle with soot. I understand that it's caused by not enough oxygen so I tried to adjust the air manifold and/or the gas valve itself to compensate and still big yellow flames :-(. Other than that the thing ran like a charm. 6 1/2 hour brew day from set-up to break down and cleaning.
