So I am finally getting closer to getting my indoor electric brewery working. Just need to finally get the circuit breaker installed in the panel. All other work is done. It’s been a long road that involved building a new house, lol. The initial plan was to go with the idea from TexasWine above...

I just used this yeast for the first time and did not use any nutrients. Did not seem to be an issue as it reached FG in 24 hours. Is a nutrient recommended?

So I heard back from them again late Tuesday. Also to clarify some comments from above, this was not an automated message. I already got one of those after submission. It was signed by a support engineer. For the controller they said I was out of warranty so I could buy a new one if I wanted...

SO what temp are people dryhopping at these days? I just added my dry hop and set the temp to 62. I used Omega OYL-091 and fermented at 90. The thing ripped through fermentation in 24 hours. I then lowered it to 85 for 12 hours then down to 62 over the next 12 hours. OG was 1.048 and its been at...

So I am coming from gas BIAB and setting up a multi vessel electric system. I was planning a 2 vessel system. Was going to heat water in BK and circulate it through a counterflow chiller while circulating wort from the MT through it as well. Basically a herms. But I am starting to wonder if that...

First time using this yeast. Pitched yesterday around 4:00 PM. OG was 1.048. 6:30 this morning it was at 1.036. I checked when i got home tonight and its at 1.010. Damn that was fast. I usually like to close vale and build pressure at the end and start my dry hop. How should I finish this out...

Yeah once I am done fermenting this batch going to try that. Also I did a pressure test twice. Once with it filled with water to the very top of all ports so even the top ports had water half way up and then I took out about 3-4 gallons of the water and tried again.

I have used the unitank many times without issue. These are new issues, one reocurring. Is it my fault that their power cable does not hold a connection to the temp controller and constantly shuts off? IF the pressure issue is simply water absorbing the CO2, sorry I did not know that. Also never...

you could go that route. Buy the parts you like from each of the companies and build your own.

Appreciate some help. I did spray star san over all the ports and did not see any obvious leaks. Also when I filled the fermenter completely to the very top, no leaks were observed as far as water leaking anywhere. I did think that maybe the pressure was getting observed by the water. If that is...

So not sure if I should be as upset about this as I am but... Been a customer of SS Brewtech for 2-3 years. I have spent several thousand dollars with them. In the past support has been good, no issues. But I am currently having a couple issues and the support I believe is lacking. It’s been...

Does this need a starter? I have only ever used 1318 for my yeast and always make a starter, but seems like that yeast doesn't need one?

Well after a long hiatus due to building a new house, I am finally about to start brewing again. Trying to catch up on this thread is difficult. I believe I have seen some rumblings that people are now not using the expensive hops in the whirlpool but saving them for the dry hop. Is this the new...

So I have been brewing for a couple years now but have always used the BIAB method. I am putting together a 2V herms system using a counterflow chiller as a sort of external Herms coil. I am really confused on the mashing process. In BIAB its really easy. Fill kettle with water, get to strike...

Yes.

Batch size will be 5 gallons. I went ahead and purchased the Brew commander. Going to give e it a try. Also ordered a custom mash tun from spike and for now will repurpose my SSBT BME 20 gallon kettle to serve as the HLT/BK. I got a 2nd riptide pump and the exchilarator counterflow chiller. The...

I agree Brew commander is a contender. Also looking at SSBT panel. I think it is down to these two. While researching all of this I came across an old post of mine where I was trying to put together a system in my old house. Shortly after that we bought some land and decided to build a new...

Unfortunately changing to 50A is not an option. Just finished building a house and at the time was sure I was going to go with SS brew tech controller which requires 30A or 2x30A. The brewery is on the 2nd floor and the run to the basement is long. Will try and find some panels with EZ boil...

I am just getting my new electric brew project underway. I am going to be building out a 3 vessel system. Will be getting Spike V4 kettles but looking to see if it makes sense to go in a different direction with the panel. But there are soooooo many options. I have looked at Grounded Brewing...

SO I currently have an SSBrewtech 14 gallon unitank. I really thought I would be doing more 10 gallon batches but honestly just end up doing 5 gallon batches. I dont like having so much headspace in the fermenter and feel the aroma on the beers has not been the same since I moved to the larger...
