Thanks for the quick replys! Yes I curious about what the maillard reaktion / caramelizing would do to the beer. Yes as third option I was thinking of the decoction method and yes it somehow seems like the most logic way to go. I have heard that many breweries boil for rediculous long times...

I like to do a very long boil on my next imperial porter brew. A boil time for at least 3 hours. Should I mash/sparge a larger volymenand cook it down to right OG or mash as normal and compensate the boiloff with water? Cheers

FVillaToro thanks for the reply. Where is your thermowell at? Inthe middle of fermenter or on the side? RM-MN yes sure I did not think of that. It surely makes a circulation when it's fermenting wildly[emoji4]

Thanks for you input guys! Yes I was thinking about have it on the outside and isolate it. If its onlt hala degree differance from the middle it sounds ok. Would be interesting to test thus during next fermentation. Mabe som cirkulation during fermentation would be nice. Ger a more even temperature.

I have never really logged the temperature of the fermenting beer inside the fermenter before. And it really surprized me how much higher it was during high krausen. Almost 5 degrees celcius. I use to adjust the temp in fridge to right fermenting temp. But now I understan that I have to get an...

I did a firmware flash on my first stc1000 to + a while ago, ut today when trying a second stc1000+ flash on another unit nothing happen. Hit "d" in seriel monitor but nothing happens exept arduino prog on my mac freezes and need to be restarted to work. It's Driving me crazy. What is wrong...

Cheers for the feedback Terence! Yeah i guess the conical is not built to deal with that much pressure. I would like to weld a cone on my half barrel sanke because i love that i can sample carbonized beer directly from fermenter.

Terence are you able to carbonize in the s/s conical? How much pressure does he lid seal stand?

Hi, The last few brews I did ferment under pressure in 0.4 bar or 5.8psi. In the end of the fermentation after about a week depending on the mash temp and FG I adjust the pressure to around 1.5. Let it sit and build pressure and when stable I chill the beer and move it to corny. The beer never...

I might need to do my milling a bit finer. Thanks

H all! Do i need to increase the mash time to get higher mash eficiency when mashing on temperatures like 68-69 degrees celcius? I usually mash around 65 degrees, but this time I wanted a really fullbodied porter with high OG and an FG around 1.020. I found out that Mr eficiency was maybe 10%...

Setup from left: - 8mm racking pipe - 1/4" bsp hex nipple - 1/4" bsp Tee - 1/4" bps hex nipple - 1/4" 12mm compression fitting( without compression ring) - 8mm/12mm silicon tube - 8mm/13mm washer - compression fitting nut End of racking pipe: - 8mm 1/4" compression fitting - cornelius ball...

Thanks bobby_M! I made this before I saw your reply. Its the same idea as the bore thru style

I think this might work. I have attach it to a 2" triclamp endcap to put it to the test, but it seems airtight.
