    2V SS Brewtech Brewing System Review Page

    I would like to start a forum for solely SS Brewtech’s Electric brewing system (1v, 2v, 3v) that they recently rolled out in the market. There are not many reviews out there yet on the system(s). I soon plan to buy the 2V system with 10 or 20 gallon e-kettles and installing a Blichmann HERMS...

    Build Water Profile for Post boil volume or Total Water Volume?

    Thanks Martin! I was really hoping that you would respond to my thread, as you are the brewing water "god"! haha. Based upon my current numbers, my evaporation loss at end of boil is 16.6%. Would I additionally account "cooling shrinkage" as evaporation as well (4%)? I lose about .33 gallons to...

    Build Water Profile for Post boil volume or Total Water Volume?

    Hello all, I brew 5 gallon batches. I typically build my water profile using the total water volume including strike and sparge water (~8 gallons). Now knowing that ions do not evaporate, its bothering me knowing that my water profile could be more concentrated than I think post boil. My pre...

    Necessary to clean as well as sterilize? (Star San related)

    I clean with a sponge and water with starsan in it. I then rinse with water then sanitize with star san (fresh bucket of star san or spray bottle w/star san). In thise case, Star San is my cleaner and sanitizer. I have been doing this for years without an issue.

I recently bought another pump on Amazon by this supplier called Onebom that I was wearry of because I could not find much on the company. I get the Onebom pump in the mail and its literally the same...

    Recirculating While Mashing In

    While watching the linked video, I realized, that they left the mash recirculating while mashing in at 4:45 in video. I always thought that this should be avoided to assure that you get all the dough balls out, as the suction of recirculating will want to keep compressing/setting the grain...

    DIY Hot Pod Element Enclosure

    It mounts to the kettle from 1”npt male of element going through enclosure, through kettle wall and a 1” npt screwing onto the element within the kettle. The element can easily be replaced by just taking it out of the kettle and enlosure and sliding another element in. The gasket will be between...

    DIY Hot Pod Element Enclosure

    Since brewhardware is out of stock of the NPT HotPods, and honestly they have a relatively simple design that can be made at home for very cheap, I decided to go the DIY route. I took a small storage bowl w/ lid I had in the kitchen, drilled a 1.25 inch hole in the base with a hole saw, put a...

    Using Cheap Electric Kettle Element for Hot Liquor Tank

    Hello all, I have been exploring options that are 1) cheap 2) safe 3) productive to heat my HLT on a 120v circuit. I recently discovered a Youtube video where it's demonstrated how to get a heating element out of a cheap boiling kettle (to boil water for coffee or tea) and to install it into a...

    Liquid Purging Technique for Kegging- Inverting the Keg

    I almost want to watee purge a keg with star san, then open it up to show that there will still be foam on the inside walls lf the keg. Truth is some of it will be foam made from co2 and some will be from oxygen (like i keep saying, unless the vessel transferred from was completely purged of...

    Liquid Purging Technique for Kegging- Inverting the Keg

    Unless the keg you are pouring the star san solution in is completely purged of oxygen before hand, any splashing of the starsan will create foam and foam will be oxygen filled. Pushing the solution out will leave residual foam in keg just like sanitizing anything with star san: foam is usually...

    Liquid Purging Technique for Kegging- Inverting the Keg

    When filling the keg full with water and star san, the spashing creates foam which indeed is bubbles filled with oxygen, unless the keg is fully purged of oxygen before filling the keg with water (which wouldn’t make any sense to liquid purge in the first place if that were true). You then push...

    Liquid Purging Technique for Kegging- Inverting the Keg

    What do you guys think about using saniclean instead of starsan to liquid purge kegs? It foams alot less. Im thinking the foam should be “feared” in this process bc guess what that foam is? Oxygen bubbles. There is no way to get all the foam out of the keg when doing this with star san. Forums...

    Liquid Purging Technique for Kegging- Inverting the Keg

    Hello all, I just did a liquid purge for the first time last night (pushing out star san, replacing with co2). It went pretty smoothly and I was confident in the fact I effeciently removed all* (of course not ALL) oxygen from the keg before racking via closed system transfer. I then read this...
