Thanks everyone for their comments. I had an HVAC guy take a look at my connections, check out my set up, and do a bubble test. He helped me out with my flame height/color/output as well. ( he was over working on my air-conditioning anyway. ). I bought a cover monoxide monitor as well. Weird—...

I’ve been brewing with a single burner but now I just upgraded to a brew stand with two banjo burners. I use natural gas, not propane. Never really worried about carbon monoxide, but been doing some reading about it and now with the additional burner, just wondering if it would be a problem...

I am planning a tropical hop pale ale and wondering what ya’all think. Does anyone have an opinion on the hop combo? Also should I drop the Caramel 40 since tropical hops can have perceived sweetness? Style: American Pale Ale Color: 5.3 srm Bitterness: 42.7 IBUs Boil Time: 60 min Est OG...

Just wondering if anyone has brewed this great beer using some Rye? And if so how did it turn out?

Cool. So you don’t have any problems cold crashing into the 30s? Or running multiple fermenters at once?

Morrey, how do you like your new glycol chiller? I’m thinking of purchasing this one for the same reason. Is it working out well for you? I have a couple conical’s. The penguin is cheaper than the SS brewtech glycol chiller but looks bigger. Any pros and cons so far?

Just wanted some opinions on if anyone has done this and if it worked out well. I’m Making a black IPA soon and thought I put it on my nitro tap. If the taste doesn’t work out I can just put it on CO2 but wanted to give a try. Has anyone done this successfully?

For those of you who use pumps, how often do you change the silicone tubing?

I’m thinking about dry hopping in the keg and just wondering peoples’ techniques and experiences? I know some people leave it in the entire life of the keg?. Just wondering what people do, and if you experience any off flavors, vegetal? And how the flavor is different from normal dry hopping...

I know I’m renewing this thread after half a year, but question? I am super interested in this clear beer contraption, not because I necessarily care about clear beer, but I’m interested in hopping in the keg. For those of you who dry hop in the keg, what do you think the differences between...

Yes, positive it was distilled. I will keep Pale a Little high, dark a little low in mind. Just have to keep brewing I guess.

For probe calibration, I missspoke. I let the probe soak out of the box in the storage solution for four hours as instructed, then I calibrated to 7.01 followed by 4.01 ( Solutions provided by Milwaukee ) while heating my strike water. Then in between my two mash pH measurements, I tested it...

My first brew adjusting water chemistry utterly failed. Short version: inputted everything into Bru’n Water supporters program using distilled water and building up to a yellow dry profile with an estimated mash pH of 5.41. PH turned out to be 5.73 at 10 minutes and 24 minutes. Any help would...

Thanks

Trudging my way through my first Brewing water chemistry course for an IPA brew day this Friday. Hoping someone who is used the program and knows the chemistry can help me out. I’m using 100% distilled water as my base in building from there. The program states that the pH of distilled water...

It is a superior brand 1/4 hp sump pump. My chugger pump isn't strong enough to get the pressure /volume high enough for the CIP to work effectively. After I burned out the motor I looked on the sump pump specifications and 120 is the max. Yes I will send back the bucket heater.

I bought a Cip ball to clean in place my conical fermenter. Got all the tubes etc. Got a 1/5 hp sump pump as well as a bucket heater to heat the liquid PBW. Things were going great on the test run and I was running hot PBW through the CIP ball/fermenter. Decided to do a 30 minute trial and did...

Just brewed this beer today per recipe except used white labs 007. Will let you guys know how it turned out. Going to have to change the name to eclipse though.

I was also thinking about using 007 with this. Any opinions?

I was just wondering for anyone who's made this recently if you could compare it to any commercial brands that are out there. I'm interested in making it and my wife wanted a nice summer drinker and I think it fits the bill.
