I make 10 gallon batches so cooling for me was an issue with the AZ summer tap water temps. I ended up getting a sabco chill wizard, and a sump pump from homedepot. I recirculate ice cold water through the chill plate and back into the bucket, then add ice as needed. I can chill my 10 gallon...

I love everything about my morebeer 10 gallon digital sculpture... the automated burner and pumps are amazing and make the brewing process that much more enjoyable. Overall, worth every penny in my opinion. Cheers!

If you could create a new hop strain, what would its characteristics be? - Aromatic, Bittering, or Both - Flavor and aroma profile Discuss! :mug:

When I started brewing I kind of entered the hobby on a whim. I started with a deluxe homebrew kit from Northern brewer and I haven't looked back. 4 or 5 years later, and I have my dream all-grain system, a beer room/bar in a spare room of the house, and a very supportive swmbo. My question is...

I watch this show as much as I can and really enjoy each episode. Yes, some of things they do are gimmicky, but it's a TV show after all and it's certainly entertaining. Like the Top Gear of craft beer, not everything they do is by the book, or even makes sense, but in the end its a great show...

10 gal of Inglewood ipa + 10 gal of summer citrus blonde = 8230.5

Hey guys, just looking for some feedback on a recipe that has been in the fermentor for about 2 weeks. Recipe was brewed on a 10 gallon digital morebeer sculpture. All PH numbers were hit, and my gravity/volumes were spot on, so I think it should turn out pretty true to what the recipe should...

I have made a Blackberry Basil Wheat a few times now and each time it has been a hit. Nice blackberry aroma with a slight hint of basil. A very refreshing beer and the Nelson hops I use seem to play nice with the basil. Haven't had a chance to make it on my new AG set-up yet, but have the recipe...

Well I brewed my first AG batch yesterday on the new morebeer sculpture! Everything went really well actually. I hit my PH almost dead on at 5.45 for the mash and my pre-boil volumes and SG were right where they needed to be too! The PH meter and digital refractometer worked beautifully! My...

Haha, not single... Happily married with a very understanding swmbo! No natural gas unfortunately, just propane and I'll run the system with both garage doors open. Should be ok, but if not I'll install a vent. Cheers!

Xmas came early!!!! Fits like a glove!!! Got my ro system plumbed through the attic and working too! Today was a good day!

After doing a bunch of reresearch on my own, and listening to far more experienced brewers than myself... I'm not worried about recirculating my ro water. I have a TDS meter and will check my water regularly, but I'm not to concerned about it as it will always have a lid on it.

I got the tank from Aquafx at www.aquariumwaterfilters.com. The tank includes a almost airtight lid that helps to reduce contact with oxygen in the headspace of the tank. Its BPA/HDPE free food safe rated. It is more expensive then say a Brute cooler from a big box store, but to me knowing that...

My single tier 10 gallon digital sculpture just shipped from Morebeer!!! Which to be honest was a lot faster than I thought it would considering I only ordered on the 1st. In preparation, I have been reading Water by Palmer and have used Beersmith/Bru n water to calculate my first AG recipe and...

I plan to use this specifically for brewing purposes and I'm building my water profiles from scratch so it being deionized is fine for my system. Thanks for the advice on the tanks though!
