Hahahaha. Funny post Kombat. I was just at national home few conference in San Diego and I was next to Mitch Steele while he was getting a copy of Beersmith from Brad. Stone brewing uses it so...........

Just to clarify I made 2 different 2 liter starters. One pack per starter. Both on stir plates with O2

The temp probe for the fridge is in the middle. Stc-1000 probe. Both carboys have a stick on temp reading and both were the same. I aerated by shaking first as I ran out of O2. But 10 hours later I added 30 seconds of O2 with a diffusion stone. I did let the beer sit for about 20 min in...

Long time lurker first time poster. Bought 2 packs wlp001 new pure pitch yeast. Made 2 2 liter starters with O2 and yeast nutrient. Used stir plate as always and fermented in temp controlled fridge for about 18 hours until I pitched into a 11 gal batch of a double wheat IPA. Pulled 5.5 gal...

I didn't run it thru beer smith so I am going on your numbers. I would cut back the 75 crystal to maybe a pound. Also the Yeast seems not quite west coast. I havn't used it before but US-05 or wlp001 is closer to what pizza port would use. good luck

I just thought I would reply to some of the replies I got about this product, that I posted. "It does sound like you were doing it wrong. It's not like it can malfunction" This is why I said in my post that I switched the hookups to make sure everything was correct. Also I figured...

I did have to do a sex change but I got it done. I just put a garden hose adapter with a nipple to fit the hose on. I Just tried to recirculate and the "wort" went from 210 to 137 in about 5 mins. I don't know if this is good but not to me. I think Ill just have to return this product and...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes I did check that the cooling water was opposite direction. At least 20 times just to make sure. If the copper one from more beer chillzilis can do it in one pass why can't mine? I didn't think I needed to recirculate but I can if I need to. I might just buy a...

Hello. I am in need of help. I bought the stainless steel convoluted counter flow chiller from williams brewing and can't get the wort to chill. I have checked for the hookups in counter flow setup about 20 times to make sure. I built a new brewery from keggles and testing all equipment prior to...
