I did not.

Looks "cool". How did the temps come out?

I make a "Chicken Feed CAP" and ended up buying a Corona mill as that is actually what it was designed for. I boil the milled corn in a 5 gallon pot for about 45 minutes or so and then incorporate into main mash ala decoction mode. Beer comes out fantastic! hottpeper13 I have never had a...

I have used a refractometer for years now and haven't seen anything like that. Maybe a defective refractometer? One thing I have noticed is that sunlight works much better than indoor lighting. You don't have to have the sun directly on it, just walking outdoors makes the delineation more...

I have both a 14gal BME and 14gal standard SSBrewtech chronicals. To be totally honest, I am not sure why one would need CIP. It takes me a grand total of about 5 minutes to disassemble the standard and clean it. It takes maybe an additional 5 minutes to clean the BME because of the coil. For...

I have regularly done Hefeweizens grain to glass in under 2 weeks. (of course I am using kegs)

I don't have my keezer anymore, but my first one was made with I believe a Kenmore freezer when I lived in New Jersey. Fast forward about 6 or so years now living in North Carolina and it died. My neighbor in NJ helped me make the collar as he had wood working tools. I thought I was screwed but...

So you removed the cooling coil before cleaning? Edit: I read the whole thread and noticed that you don't use the coil. I have both a standard and a BME, both 14gal. The standard takes me about 5 minutes or less to clean by hand (after removing the valves). The BME with the coil in place takes a...

I do exactly the same thing!!!:mug:

For the first 90 or so 10 gallon batches I used a 15 gallon brew kettle (or 15.5 gallon keggle) and managed. A few years ago I bought a 20 gallon kettle and now life is good, plenty of room for good vigorous boils without fear of boil over. Recently I did a one 5 gallon batch in the last 100...

I purchased one and currently have one SS Brewtech pump and an Active Aqua AAPW400 in the reservoir. I am sure a third pump would fit, especially the SS Brewtech pumps. They are quite compact.

To the original poster I hope we didn't get too far off topic. I think what it does show though is that you will have to get know your system.

I did some testing yesterday using just water on my system. I typically mash in at 104 then raise to 145. I set my HLT to 149 and set the timer. It only took 21 minutes for the HLT to go from 106 to 149, not bad. However it took 56 minutes for the mash to reach 145. After a slow start it started...

Tiber Brew et al this is an interesting thread. On my HERMS system I have a 3-way valve I use to bypass the HEX as needed. However this requires me to "babysit" my mash as I have to fiddle with the valve to maintain the temperature exiting the HEX. (ignore the discussion above for a minute, this...

I brewed a Jalapeño beer (not a style I care for) for my daughter's college graduation party. For those who have served this before, will any of the "heat" or any off flavors be left in the beer lines of a kegerator after it is finished? I was thinking of just serving it during the party in a...

Max Head: 12ft Max Flow: 8L/Min

I have a brand new one not installed in glycol yet. Per the label: Max Head: 12ft Max Flow: 8L/Min Interesting mix of engineering units.

Perfect thanks, believe it or not I searched Amazon as well. Must have left something out of the search words.

Has anyone been able to find a source for the 3/16" wall tubing? I did a quick google search but I am coming up with the thinner stuff.
