Good luck to you! It'll probably be like riding a bike - once you get going, you'll begin to remember things or remember WHY you did things a certain way.

We're running their Nano setup and 3 of the CF30's since we started selling publicly. We bought the Nano system used, and when we got it, there was 2 things wrong with it... 1. The seller of the equipment shipped the steam condenser lid with the 90 deg arm clamped to the top of the lid and the...

I apologize for the delay on this everyone. I know I've gotten a few responses and DM's and we've had some things come up that may change what we're doing. I'm going to withdraw this for now as I'm unsure of our plans for these tanks at the moment. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience and...

Looking to sell our 14 Gal and 7 Gal Unitanks. These come with all attachments and fittings and everything works properly. Any questions just ask! Cheers! 14 Gal - $600 OBO 7 Gal - $400 OBO

Selling our 20 gal Spike TC eHerms system. This was a great system for us and worked flawlessly. We moved up to the Spike Nano and are no longer using this setup and would love to see it go to use. Picture below is of the entire setup. I can get more pictures as requested. Located in Spring...

Hey all. Anyone got a box of Pak Techs laying around that you want to get rid of? Would love to take them off of your hands. We'll gladly pay shipping or some other kind of payment, whatever works. Let me know! Thanks in advance.

So full transparency, I don’t really ever adjust the hop utilization number. We just leave it there and tweak the recipe if it needs it. As for your 60min addition, seems right. A little low if anything but not drastic enough where I’d tell you to adjust. We did this one a few months back on...

Awesome! Good luck! Let me know how it comes out and what you think of it. We still make this today and haven’t changed a thing on it.

Hey everyone. Anyone done any tests with regards to X amount of whole fruit is approximately Y amount of purée? Specifically, looking at converting 7lbs strawberry and 5lbs rhubarb to pure amounts. I’m prepared for trial and error just didn’t know if someone had gone through this already. Thanks!

This is why I like this forum! Great point!!

Long overdue follow up to this. The Amber Came out pretty good! Really happy with it. Great toffee/caramel notes in the nose and taste and a nice pine/citrus rind note on the back of the palette. The only thing I’d consider MAYBE changing is just reduce the late addition hops by 10% or so. Not...

Meh, what I don’t know is did we just KILL it on getting the sugars out of the Pilsner and Munich with little contribution from the rice, or did the rice work just fine? Unsure how to know…

We’ll have to try that next time. Everything I’d read said you could simply cook the rice and add it to the mash so that’s what we did. Efficiency on this ran high for us. We’ve been running around 82% but this one came in at 88%.

Interesting. Are you saying that what I did shouldn’t have worked? Or just that method gives a better result?

My mistake. Guess I should have posted that. This was an 18 gal batch, finished boil volume. Ended up cooking the 8lbs of rice the night before and added it right to the mash. Never made Jasmine rice before. That was shticky! Pretty happy with numbers and color. We’ll see how she does.
