p.s. - what gap setting are ya'll using with the jams? I never found this problem using 0.045, which i always had great efficency using in my Kal clone setup with recirculation.
sorry for resurrecting an old thread but i only recently came across this issue with my unit. can anyone that has done this conversion please share the actual model number of the VFD they are using? all of the previous posts seem to be just URLs and with the amount of time that has passed...
Does anyone do dumps at unusual times? I was thinking about some other opportune times for dumps and wondered if any were Harmful, Useful or Useless?
After Boil, Before Pitch Dump
Hypothesis: After the wort has had time to settle and chill a bit, the bottom section can be quite cloudy and...
Only used this once. Ended up changing my equipment around and this is no longer needed. Includes:
Steam Slayer - Kettle Boil Steam Condenser Assembly
Sprayer Tips: Both 6 and 9 GPH sprayers from BH, 1 extra 6.32GPH McMaster Misting Nozzle ($17 value)
15 Feet Supply Tubing
3 Feet Waste Water...
Apologies for resurrecting an old but quite 'energetic' discussion, could I ask @Bilsch to help clarify if my method if using the MW600 would be correct?
My intent is exactly as you describe - to measure DO in my wort after it's been brought to pitching temps but before oxygenation via a carb...
You know what... Now that you mention it, that second fermenter was actually reading a bit higher on the gauge when it was fermenting under pressure.
I wrote it off as possibly the oil gauge needing to be vented and recalibrated but you could be completely right that it actually experienced a...
I brewed a 1BBL IPA and split it into 2x 15 gallon fermenters.
I fermented both for 3 days with a blow off cane before capping them off with a PRV and finishing under pressure.
Total ferment for both (using US-05) was 8 days at 68F and then raised to 71F for an additional 2 days
On day 11, I...
we're probably having similar experiences. fine tuning the riptide pump flows just isn't as easy as it should be. sometimes the difference between too much or too little is the tiniest ball hair of a turn! (lol sorry, sticking to the theme i guess... balls.)
I'm still considering... the Blichmann LFV valves on my Riptides are just a little too much of a ball ache to match during sparging... i'd love to see if these valves are a lot easier to match and fine tune the flows...
I shipped ingredients from Morebeer to a freight forwarder in Doral. My intent was to ship them international but it isn't an option right now due to the covid situation.
So I'm looking to sell them to someone local that can go pick them up, instead of paying crazy money for shipping costs.
I'm hoping someone in the Miami / Doral area can help me out with this situation I've found myself in.
I have a grain order with a shipping company in Doral that I intended on sending to a remote location where I make small batches. But due to the current situation, shipping in and out of the...
