Not sure if I am reading this correctly Pol, but I have been doing exactly this for about 10 years. About 5 of that with the therminator. Guess you have never read anything about Brutus Ten! LOL :ban: Just kidding my friend... In my case, and I think in any case, ice alone will not knock...

Thanks fellas... I suspected as much... I will order some acid blend from AHS. This sounds like a LOT of tasting is involved! Id like to learn a bit more about what I am doing here with my meads!

So someone school me please on this process... I've made some pretty good meads, even took a BOS at the KCBM and several first's here or there, but I always think this is by chance and not real knowhow... I have recently been told that one of my problems is acidification. It would open the...

It was cool my friend! I enjoyed seeing the system work... I know I am having fun!

This is coming along very nicely my friend! I can't wait until I see more pics! Please, all of you, keep the pics coming this way! I have pics of almost a hundred systems now and a tear forms in my eye every single time I see one more.

Ah my good friend, just trying to help. So, over and out... Watch your toes... :)

Wow my friend, I have to say that I do not like your tippy dumps in this direction. Brutus will not support your kegs this way. It will flip over! I am not sure if your intentions are to maybe tip a pot and rest it on a can or something, but this configuration is inviting something bad to...

That is correct my friend... I find that ice water is just a wasted effort above 100 or so... It would take several more bags to drop it from boiling temps... The hose will knock it down very quickly to a hundred. The ice just knocks out the rest of this Texas heat from there...

Ooh EDIT: The Berliner I brewed in this vid will definitely go into a secondary... I am not sure that it will sour up enough with my normal schedule... I may need to get it into a few carboys in a cool closet and let it stink up the house a bit!

On most beers, never more than two weeks max, then straight to serving kegs... Good yeast pitching rates, ferment for 7-8 days, then crash to 35 for another 3-4, depending on when I can transfer to kegs with gelatin... Anything over lets say around 1.070 or so, I will transfer to carboys...

Ha! Claudius my friend, you know that was just an empty can!! Man I was in SA a few weeks ago... Would have been nice if you could have made a road trip! Now, I have been waiting on your videos for what, I don't know, since 2002? :)

Ah! Well I can say that there is no chance really... I have just made too much great beer this way and for a lot of years. I really don't want to sound conceded I promise because if I made crappy beer, I would be the first to change, but I very actively compete, and I make gold medal beers this...

Well my friend! It works just like a pot with beer in it covered with a very loose lid! :) There is no sealing or airlocks with my beers. There simply is not a need in this situation...

Well yesterday I decided to make a few vids of my brew day. Sorta of a small "how to" series. I am hoping this will help some. It took a while to put together! Sorry for the poor quality. Just a crappy camera, but there may be some info in there somewhere! In five parts... I placed the...

Well Yoop, guess I am an old timer too... Right at 300 myself for beer. no telling on the meads and cider... I had almost 200 on Brutus 5 alone!

Ah! So I have been fed up with my water here in SO Mexas. I now own a dang nice RO system. My friends, honestly my brain is full! I swear if I learn one more single friggin thing I will have to forget something very important. What I have been looking for is some sort of a brewing water...

Check the wall thickness and see if maybe this is what you need. McMaster Carr PN: 60945K57 McMaster-Carr This is the system I used on Brutus along with some flashy blue Caster City wheels...
