    Kölsch Bee Cave Brewery Kölsch

    That's why it's better to control the temp. of the beer and not the ambient temperature. Try to cool it down if ya can. The beer will be fine.

    Herms coil for 1 BBL ?

    A friend and I put together a 1+ BBL system. It's, 3- 55 gallon drums converted, and we want to go electric and HERMS. I have never used a HERMS so my questions are, What size and length tubing will be effective? Will 50' of 1/2'' do it, or 25' of 5/8''. Will it be able to raise to mash out...

    Double IPA Dogfish Head 90 Minute Clone

    Adjust recipe for your efficiency. Mine tends to drop from 85% to 79% with a grain bill this large on my system. My personal preference is to use 3lbs of TF Amber for 11 gallons.

    I just bought a Yeti 29er. I thought I'd never ride one, but damn, it's fast nimble, responsive and climbs like crazy especially for a 30 lb. bike.

    Are those Mavic SLR rims I see on your bike? I have the same ones on my Stump Jumper, They're awesome rims. It's still road bike season sor me. It's too hot in the woods!

    I use Tubeless rims/tires and haven't had a flat in years (I've limped home with 50lbs. in the rear tire a few times), but I still wouldn't leave without a spare tube and a way to inflate it.

    Any thoughts on Plate chiller versus counterflow chillers?

    I have a Duda also, and use it nearly the same way. It definitely works great and I've never had it clog. the only downside is the cleaning, I run if for the last 15 minutes of the boil and and also run homemade PBW through it at the end. So, if you like your immersion chiller maybe...

    Are they new brake pads? If they're old the could have become hard. Also clean the braking surface of the rim, try simple green (or another mild solvent), then wipe 'em off with alcohol to get rid of residual solvent.

    Personally I like the Rock N Roll gold. It keeps the chain clean and lubed. This is it 25 years?? Bike technology and geometry has changed ALOT since then. Ya might even find parts hard to find.

    Recommend me a dial thermometer?

    Just slide the probe in and out. I don't even put a wrench on the compression nut, just just good and finger tight and I can even pull the probe out a little while mashing so when I stir, I don't hit it.

    Recommend me a dial thermometer?

    I use one of Theese (1/2'' is the size my old dial used), along with one This. So when not brewing with the Thermometer, you can use it for other things.

    Massachusetts Refractometer Good Deal?

    From what I've heard, the ones that have a SG scale are skewed. And for beer, you want one that reads 0-32% Brix.

    First All Grain.... one mistake (so far)

    That crush looks fine, as long as there are no uncracked grains. You only need a 90 minute boil if your using Pilsner malt or to reduce the volume in a bigger beer.

    what's the deal with efficiency

    To me, it's another part of the hobby. Tweaking your equipment, process,water, etc. What's great about this hobby is, If you don't want to and ya make good beer, don't. That being said, I get a consistent 85% on average 10g batches...lol
