Here we go Let's get this part started! Hacking up the old stand Made from an old Ikea bunk bed, bed frames and any metal we can get out hands on. We are nerds not welders but its amazing what a grinding wheel and paint can hide. Inverted Mash Tun base We use an inverted mash tun and...

Well when my brewing partner and I meet we quickly clicked and we started making killer beers. We both improved quickly and we decided to pull our resources together and build a nice 3 vessel single tier system. As the quality of our beers increased we decided it was time to rebuild and add some...

The triggers are awesome, we are direct fire with an electric RIMS so need the pumps on when the RIMS are on. Looks like triggers will solve that for us. Keep up the good work!

Did some research into this and a brewery can produce beer and then produce non beverage vinegar with no additional license just needs to provisional approved by the TTB. If we wanted to brew a beer to be converted into vinegar for sale we are out of luck. You need a brewing license/bond as...

Added lbs of slightly toasted raw coconut into a porter in secondary and forgot about it for a month...I sure got the coconut flavor and aroma then a nasty metallic aftertaste that made the beer god awful and was perfectly fine before I added the coconut.

The spammer is not due to lax security, I have been a forum admin for many years and squashing it on a large forum like this without invasive changes is hard to do. Spammers have automated software that create accounts and then post on those accounts but they are sophisticated nowadays. I know...

That is a risk for sure and why I am not investing a whole lot into the setup :) My thinking is by pitching a full size pitch in #1 and filling the carboy as high as I am a majority of the krausen will transfer travel to #2. Being very active it should get up to speed fairly quickly. Since its...

The idea of the bottle was to transfer the yeast to carboy #2 and allow for CO2 release. I have an IPL I was planning on testing this with and was concerned with connecting straight into the carboy without any way for the CO2 to escape. I do like this setup though for capturing yeast of a...

What is the Burton Union? link "Traditionally, a union system (later referred to as a Burton Union after becoming linked to its use in the Burton area) is a network of several wooden casks and troughs interconnected via copper plumbing. All of the casks work in union during fermentation...

Well I have noticed a higher/faster concentration of oak flavors/aromas vs adding directly into the fermenter as well I can prepare a batch for future use and control exactly how much flavor I want immediately. For some it may not be worth the effort but there are lots of advantages especially...
