I am interested in designing an auto-fill bottler that is counter pressure. I currently have a functional four bottle CP filler but want to take it to the next level by turning it into an auto fill. What do the professional line bottlers use to make sure each bottle is filled to the...

what is your make up air? Are there any changes if you have all the doors open versus closed?

I want to take a moment to share great customer service I received from an online home brewing store. I am not in any way affiliated with this company but feel they need to be recognized for their service. I have purchased numerous items from morebeer.com over the course of the last several...

Use Barkeepers Best Friend and a rag. It will come right off. You can purchase it at Walmart.

The brewery is complete after lots of fighting with the ventilation system. I am brewing indoors with a natural gas burner and tried numerous methods of ventilating the exhaust, steam and heat. In the end, I had to pony up and install a mushroom style fan and a commercial hood. (as suggested in...

When I first saw your logo without reading I thought you were making SAKE. Perhaps it's the font.

I would be thinking mostly about how you are going to handle the boil off. The window could work fine but I would also be concerned about the excess heat and moisture near your walls. That is a fairly small space and you will need to deal with that. I have hear some great ideas about...

Thank you for the responses. I do have a natural gas water heater installed. I was somewhat aware of negative pressure so I have been opening the window or double doors when running the bk during testing. Is there an appropriate method to calculate the needed makeup air for a 720 - 1000 CFM...

I am seeking some help in re configuring my indoor brewery exhaust system. I am seeking some input from folks who have experience with exhaust. I currently have a commercial range hood installed over my boil kettle but it just isn't removing the heat that I want. I will approach this...

I placed the blocks under the kettle as a "sample" for venting. It seems to keep the flame in better shape. I am now a bit concerned I may have the burner a bit low for the kettle. What was your distance from the tip of the burner to the base of the kettle?

Your explanation makes very good sense based on how I have my new setup. I used to brew with converted kegs and a completely different stand. The converted kegs have the "skirt" around the bottom which include vents on all four sides. My new stand is essentially 1 1/2" square tube which the...

I test fired my new brewing system and have an issue I need help resolving. The system has a 23 tip jet burner for the Boil Kettle. The burner runs on natural gas. Prior to this, I had a 23 jet propane burner so I am somewhat familiar with how they operate. I recently split my main gas line...

It's been a while since I have posted any updates. All the connections to the building have been completed and the building is ready for the equipment. Here is a picture of the sink and water heater. I have always wanted a three bay sink with a side shelf for brewing.

I have purchased from Auber Instruments and have been happy with the order. The order came quickly and as expected. I will order from them again. I can understand your frustration in not receiving what was purchased. Auber shipped your item and it was delivered as promised. The loss was...
