Nice! I cut out all the front panel and next is the receptacles and all the tapping and hopefully paint during the week!
nvr2low - are you mocking up a stand like the ebrewery one>
post some picks guys! I plan on posting a few to my link, but want to get ahead on the build first . enjoy
Looking to brew the celebration clone, but Farmhouse is out of Centennial. Any suggestions on a sub, or should i just seek it out at the LHBS?
Wish I would have known yesterday when I came to Syracuse, as I have a pound+ and would have left you some.
Some things to consider:
1) The Centennial is used for the dry hop, so you don't have to have it until you are done with your fermentation/primary. This is a bit unusual given Centennial has a high alpha and is pretty darn good as a bittering hop.
2) Since a 11 gallon batch only takes 1 oz Centennial, I would buy at the LHBS if needed.
3) According to BeerSmith, substitutes are: Substitutes: Galena, Eroica, Nugget, Bullion. But, I dunno, I might just use cascade * 2 as a sub for the aroma if needed.
I find it interesting that so many of us are converting to electric and or upgrading.
I took this coming week off so I can make some serious progress on my basement ebrewery. I have a lot to do!
Cidah!, I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im starting to think about and ebuild now...
According to Cidah's recipe (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f174/s...oup-grain-buy-279676/index16.html#post3508134) he uses about 2.5 oz for a 5 gal batch.
I'll prob just hit up Sunset for it, most of their hops are around $1.50 an oz, so it wont be too bad. Reading up sounds like you really dont want to sub it for this type of recipe.
Cidah should be in possession of one of mine, along with a bottle of the real thing (from Sierra Nevada) to compare.
There is a pallet of grain in my garage!
Ah I love the smell of malt in the morning!
Isn't that just plain awesome?!
Finished up the new brew rig today and ran my first batch through it. Worked out well. Dedicated plumbing makes it super easy and saves time, no more lugging 6 gal buckets from the basement for water. Also the concrete board worked well to keep the heat confined.
CBK said:Not for nothing but if it was me I would get those buckets and gamma seal lids you have into action and do something with those sacks if you plan to store that pallet of grain in your garage.
On it! Everything will be in buckets, vacuum sealed (splits), labelled, and moved to the basement by the end of the day!
copyright - that is quite a selection that you passed over. Thanks so much! I didn't try any yet but I will be sure to do a tasting with yours vs. commercial celebration, and in general enjoy all the brews thoroughly. Do any of them need age? Or are they good to go?
They are all from kegs, good to go. I'm curious as to your feedback on them, especially comparing the SN Celebration recipe's (the one you used, the one I used, the commercial). I can't quite remember what I left for you and I have the bad habit of sometimes forgetting to even mark the tops with what is in there. I think it was:
SN C - Sierra Nevada Celebration clone
ESB - Redhook ESB clone
VS - A Vienna SMaSH
... can't remember the rest...if you tell me what was on the cap I will likely remember.
I only have a little of the SN Celebration left (clone), it has gone fast (most into my belly). I just started carbonating a Bell's Two Hearted and a Vienna Cherry Wheat (made up the recipe on that one). I have a Mirror Pond (rebrew) in the primary and also a Pilsner Lager (fermentation probably done, but it will need to age for a month or so). So, I've done 5 batches already this year, trying to use that grain!
im doing 3 big brews when i get home... (maybe in one day) kate the great, Wee Heavy, and a barleywine maybe this upcoming weekend, or next week one day.
have to kill some grain
then my buddy wants to a brown, and a irish stout
you also gave a real celebration (commercial), one marked (BM) - looks hazy so I am guessing a blue moon clone?
No rig progress shots yet? I thought for sure you would have that thing done by day 2 (kidding)
I just primed (last night) and painted (this a.m.) my control box. It is looking pretty sharp! Trying to decide if two coats are necessary.

Grain is moved to the basement, in buckets, inventoried, vacuum sealed, and labelled.
Looks like my basement. I haven't gotten as far along as you. I have the splits temporarily in food-grade buckets with gamma seal lids, and I bought two huge plastic bins, each is holding 3 whole sacks of grain. I also have 5 semi-transparent bins full with grain from the splits from the previous buy.
My plans are to process the splits using my vacuum sealer (similar to what you did), and to then use my buckets + gamma seal to hold most of what is currently in the full sacks. I will likely (over time as it takes forever) but some of the grain from the full sacks and make a bunch of 3-4 # sealed bags (for the grain that will be used later vs. sooner).
