Don’t need the tap but if the price is right… Chrome is fine. Thank you!

I will try to get a few today. Are you local to Georgia?

I would consider shipping all but the freezer if interested.

I am downsizing my house and just no room or time for this hobby so I am selling my brewing equipment. I built it from the ground up by referencing the “electric brewery site”. I do not have pictures as it is in storage from moving. It is in excellent shape. Includes: 3 ss kettles- not sure on...

Interesting... My probe got wet as well and works perfectly after drying out. Except the relay now is the issue, won't turn on the cold side of things. I recall with the wet probe (unknown it was wet at the time) it was cycling the relay more often so I believe that may have caused the relay to...

Thank you for the recommendation! I did take a look at the logs and noticed the two temp sensors in the chamber meaning the beer and chamber temp or disconnecting. I then remove the beer temperature sensor from the thermal well and noticed it was a little wet inside the thermal well as well as...

Any ideas on why my homemade brewpi quit keeping the fridge and beer at temp? Here is what I notice. The relay will click to start the fridge but then it immediately turns off, then will try again. I have also noticed that it says searching for peak occasionally at the bottom of the lcd. Freezer...

I plan on brewing about 3.5 gal of a pale lager. Og around 1.50. I am using 34/70 for yeast and am curious if one 11.5 gram packet would be enough? Plan on pitching around 45 degrees. The packet says it is enough for 20-30 l I think but that seems very high!

So I pull the roasted grains from the mash. Now I need a little acid to get the mash pH right. Should I leave a little roasted for the acid or pull it all and add the little acid I need?

If steeping... Would you use the same amount of grain? Meaning do you get about the same amount of flavor with a steep vs mash? Do you just add the entire steeped water?

Thank you. I will have to look into the "how to" for steeping. I see the benefits of avoiding the off flavors.

I see on some recipes that the roasted barley is added at the end of the mash. I would assume that this is due to brewing with low ra water and the roasted grain would throw the ph way low. So instead they mash the base malts and crystal and adjunct s together which gives a good mash ph then...

If I am going to do a d rest since I started warm (60) and then chilled to 51 for fermentation, would I raise it to about 61 for a few days right near the end of active fermentation then drop it back down to 51 until I transfer to the keg to lager? ( transfer will be in about 2 weeks, currently...

My starter was not quite as big as yours... I'm guessing more like 250b. It is going in to 4gal of 1.049. I pitched it this morning at 60 degrees and have held it there. I will set it to start cooling since it is pitched. I just thought that maybe the warmer temps would help with reproducing...
