put a stout in the ferm tank today

Tropicalia from Creature Comforts Athens, Ga

Inside brewing is nice but i'm burned out on all of the equipment and issues in a tiny space. The biab with a rims might work and just keep my mash tun for bigger batches. That would still be better to not have to deal with a herms tank. My only issue with biab has been no way to hoist the bag...

Circling back. Not really thrilled with anything I tried, although the two vessel I tried worked. Considering a rims tube to eliminate the e-herms tank. I'm controlling with a brew commander, I have an extra fold back 3500w element but not sure what would be ideal. Biab in the 15g kettle w/...

I think it was $11 at costco

We got that log toy with squeaky squirrels in it from costco. He’s got little squirrels all over the place.

So, how did this work out? Kicking around a rims tube with my 240Brewcommander

Hop Oddity from AArdwolf

Success! I soldered the new wires to both temp probe receptacles and kept the twist connecters on the other end. Both units are going strong now. Decent for amateur work.

The one i wired is still going strong today. QDs are really nice. No leaks. Ill attempt to solder these wires at the temp probe plug tomorrow.

Going with that ……. ….i pulled both wires off of the left temp sensor input (black plug) and cut the ends off. The wires were likely damaged at the connecters. I used a couple of pieces of wire to connect the plug (white) at the panel to the sensor input . Its just twisted on by hand. Pump...

I got blinking EE codes on both pump controllers. I cant find anything on it. Ideas? Pumps wont turn on. I seem to be able to set the temperature but it goes back to the ee and doesnt turn on. 😑The glycol bath chilled down nicely.

I did that last year and love it. 90* elbows, Duotight fittings. I used short pieces I cut off of an old racking cane to connect them to the tubes.

I went this way. Hopefully works out

I have duotights on the coil end of the tubes that are open. Maybe it will drain when disconnected from coil with the other QD end closed. Eh, i think ill just reverse that and put the valve female end on the chiller bulkhead and the male end on the tubes. Im looking to take the tubes off...

Since I've got my unit stored in a finished room, I want to install the QDs at the machine so the tubes fan be removed and put away. I'm not sure which direction I'm going to orient them. I might have valved female body on the hose end as Deadulus has. Probably no issue with the male insert open...

I almost always split my brew day now. Mill Mash Sparge Lauter into Kettle. turn off for the night, Proceed with boil transfer and cleaning in the morning.

Mine looked like a cesspool inside in comparison. I cleaned it out as best I could. Heavy built up rust spot on the bottom from that clamp rusting.Most likely from replacing the interior hose clamps with Oitker clamps in '22. I don't recall what glycol I used but its possible it was...

A metal band clamp had fallen in there some time ago and rusted. I think that is where the murky water is coming from. The blue/green on the hoses? I don't know if its normal or not.

Heres the inside if snyone is curious….
