More brew days... We also put another brite tank in-service. So far so good. This hop spyder works great! Cheers!

So this project is coming along nicely. We've added an Ss Brewtech 10GA Brite Tank to our setup and so far it's working great. This unit runs off our Ss glycol chiller and makes the kegging process much smoother and more efficient... To date we've produced a really good Mosaic based IPA, and...

LOL, thanks! I was waiting for someone to notice that... Football for today's brew day! We have a couple of provisions in place for safe brewing. Quality CO detectors, and high-end burners that are very efficient. We also have the ability to move our brewstand around so we keep it in close...

So, we're getting some advise to put the heat up from 67 to 70-72 and if/when we see some activity, then turn it back down to 67... If nothing happens on the 5th day from original pitch, we will re-pitch. Edit to add: Checked it tonight when I got home and now there's some activity. Some...

The bag didn't inflate a whole bunch, but the directions said that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. We made sure the nutrient packet popped as well...

This was a direct pitch activator pack, 1028 London Ale.

We're brewing a Citra IPA and fermenting at 67 degrees. The wort came into the fermenter at about 68 degrees... We used WYEAST direct pitch and its now been 2 days with no activity. We are using a conical fermenter and there's about 3-4 gallons of headspace, so I'm wondering if maybe theres...

Citra IPA Was a great day, still lots to learn but we are having fun and enjoying this process...

It was frustrating. I called back the next day and got them to reduce shipping to $150 USD. I still think I overpaid but I needed the order ASAP, so I had no choice. Going forward they told me that this will be the only time they discount shipping. SO, I guess I wont be ordering from them any...

I honestly never thought of this... I just installed how Ss Brewtech had theirs setup... See here; http://www.ssbrewtech.com/collections/accessories/products/sight-glass-1-5-tc-in-line

Seriously! WTF is wrong with MoreBeer/MoreFlavor??? I went to do a top-up order for some more supplies; fittings, hoses, etc. The total order amounted to $535, then they quoted me $333 in shipping!!! What??? Are you serious? So after some back and forth with the sales consultant, they just kept...

Yeah as a fail safe we will have the garage door open about 12" to help keep the air circulating.

This morning we finished up the last bit of cleaning and we got the fermenter system all setup and ready to go... Brew Day NEXT WEEK!!! :ban::ban::ban:

Spent a long time tearing down, cleaning and sanitizing everything last night. Also did a dry run with brew sculpture...

We got the plumbing and gas installed today. Everything works great! It's really nice having these big sinks for cleaning...
