Thanks for all the input, i feel like this thread should be a pretty helpful resource for anyone interested in pursuing ebiab. I think my plans will be to go with a controller that has the capability to be fully automated and adjustable, but use it simply without recirc for a while.

Good luck that sounds awesome!

I feel this precisely, this year was good but we can always brew more, i want to try and set up a fixed schedule so that the whole year of brewing builds on itself in a more coherent way. Need to kill the lagtime between batches even when there still lots of good beer to be drank. Im going to...

200+ gallons of beer made is my goal, mainly 10-gal batches. Convert to ebiab. Deff gonna make some friends in the trading section and the local breweries/hbs. Its a race against time to make space in my kegs everything must go!

Ive had all ferm control and kegging gear for a while now, and i deff agree they were to two best things i've done for quality control and ease of use. Would never buy/reccomend any serious hardware before taking care of those. I currently have a 15gal spike kettle designed for ebiab with a tc...

I plan to do all 10gal batches so i suppose inside it would be very easy to keep temp. So you heat strike water absent of mash? Or do you add it and get your exact temp first? Edit: Whoa, I just checked out the easy boil... It is far more affordable than the majority of controllers i've checked...

You said you were interested in ebiab. Me too! I have a thread going right now about it and its making me think that a pump would not be an initial upgrade. Do you keg? This is a great upgrade but I also wouldnt use giftcards on most of that gear because you can find it way cheaper on...

How do you do this?

@horse thanks for the info man. Without automated control, hitting numbers is not 100% attainable for anyone, and that's ok for me. But like you I'm interested in seeing what can be accomplished with that sort of control. I'm curious about the tangible differences in control that ebiab can...

I dont plan to make any components of the controller or do any sort of diy modifications to hardware, instead I think it would be best to source reliable hardware and put it together. Do you mean find people interested in sharing the system to help put it together? The replies have given me...

Thanks for the reply Horse. That is a sick little rig you got! I want to piece something solid together as well, but I guess what I am trying to avoid is spending money on something that will cause problems, or require unexpected or unwieldy gear to function properly. I noticed several people...

I cant see how it could be the hopstand. I think it might be the grist or sanitation. I guess oxidation is possible but ive bottled many ipas with hopstands no problem. Maybe the neipa malt bill is unusually prone to oxidation though? Since its became popular recently maybe not that many people...

I have been stoked on EBIAB ever since I first learned about it. I even bought a new 15 gal spike bk with a 1.5"tc for a future element addition. But the more I read and the closer I get to pulling triggers on a build, the more I seem to find that indicates brewing on EBIAB its not quite as...

You should probably live stream the tasting... so someone can call the hopsital for you :ban: I wanna hear more about this soon!

Yeah i keep wondering too. I just did a large dry hop on two batches of almost the same non Neipa IPA. The bucket with safale 05 amd 4 gals had lost its krausen but the 6 gal with 1056 was still fermenting out when i added them. Will let this thread know if there are any oxidation issues...

I listened to a panel discussion with the BM at Alchemist that cooling down beer as quickly as possible is ideal. Not as easy to do with bottles but if you test them often just be sure to toss them in the fridge asap once theyre carbed. I've never tried to make a NEIPA, but i always make...

What I ended up doing is getting a kettle that can be set up for ebiab. Until I save up for that upgrade I will do extract, but once I switch to all grain it will be just right for me. One vessel, cheaper ingredients, same amount of cleaning, brew inside, high level of mash control. To me its...

another amazing combo is el dorado simcoe, its like sweet fruity pebbles...

citra is a beast. cascade also has insanely good synergy with the popular fruity/citrus hops. if you like pinapple and mango hop flavors try doing citra cascade with some amarillo. also the hops will always vary. so when you get some that were high quality savor the flavor and aroma. :tank:

Glad I read this:ban:
