Agree. With bigfloyd. Way overkill for aeration. Saturation takes only a few minutes.

Nice job its drinkable is a good start. Could be the pitching temps being to high for the strain for the off flavors. What strain? Being :drunk: is funny. Controlled temps and maybe trying a protein binder like warfloc will help the hazing to keep proteins out of your fermentation process...

As most advice says single cell organization happens in the first temperature response within 48 hours. After that it can effect a larger response but temperature is very important at pitching time more so than stability for the last 72 hours or so depending on the strain. Large temperature...

Disturbing the keg is no different than shaking a beer then opening it. Releases the suspended or absorbed co2 causing foaming. 20 psi is ok for force carbonation, but two days is a day too long. Also dependent on the temp and feed lines. Try 30 psi for one 12 hour period then reduce to 12 psi...

Recieved the b23 60 plate chiller today its huge in comparison. So I tried a hot water run. Had to turn my water down to control temp because it was the same as my tap temp 48f. Granted water has a lower viscosity but very impressed. Now to build a stainless stand to mount it on.

I save the water from a brew day and now it takes less than 30 gallons of water compared to 50 to cool my wort. But time savings is my benefits. More time for ysrd work etc.

I purchased the B23-20 plate chiller two years ago and brew twice a month 10-13 gallon batches, took about 50 gallons of water at 48-55 f from a well at 40 psi to cool my wort to approx 72 F. So my concern was water saving so i purchased the B23-36 60 plate chiller. Well now i can run my march...

What you ever seen a hamster village. Also think it's a makeshift sight tube.

hamster tunnel for yeast. Is there any really small wheels anywhere. :D

Things have changed a bit in 15 years but the beer is the same :mug: glad your back.

The whole point is BTU output. Too much and you will burn your hard earned wort. Banjo burners work just fine and you will find that the output is more than you will ever use unless you have the ability to stir the whole time.

Just remember that even dumb chickens will produce better if happy. Heat in the winter is always better for egg production. No heat no eggs or less eggs.

Funny posts. Hillbilly is a name i am proud of growing up in the hills of WVA. love being educated to the findings or stereotyping in the world. Never heard this %$it before. But hate walmart and non USA made products. Must be a tree hugger now. :)

RC Helicopters, Motorcycles, Cars, Beer. LOL. Been flying RC aircraft for 20 years and riding motorcycles for longer.

Right back at you. Welcome to the greatest hobby in the world. Hope you have a credit card the old lady doesn't know about. If not apply. :)

Conversion as you know depends on a pile of issues related to water and PH. Mash at 150-155 on most beers these days for a good hour. LOL. depends how much time i have. Been fly sparging since day one. Use a march pump for transfer also. Just made a new sparge arm and used it today. worked very...

Just a update. This motor has no problem starting loaded with grain or corn. Thought i would mention it because of the problems i have read about not having the torque required loaded for other motors. 19 lbs in 2.86 minutes on 120V.

Just thought i would also share my mill for anyone wanting to do the same set-up. Used a 1/2 HP Baldor USA motor and had excellent customer service from a online motor company. PM me i will send info. Just gave them my intended RPM's they figured it all for me. Belt length ETC.

I bought a Baldor USA made motor from electric motor site has excellent prices an great service if anyone is looking for a motor and pulleys. I have no connection to the company just thought i would share. Putting my mill together this week with a 2" stainless monster mill. Will post some pics...
