Test batch with El Dorado hop hash. Golden promise, touch of carastan and 20% oats. Fermenting away with third gen conan

Made a starter for some harvested Conan yeast. I guess that it's still pretty viable, this was less than an hour after pitching the slurry into the flask

They both have the original cord and plug

Selling two center inlet stainless head chugger pumps. Both with a standard 1/2" camlock fitting on the inlet Both in good condition, no modifications to the cord etc. $120 each shipped

Brewed a special bitter. Maris Otter, Carastan and some carapils. EKG and WLP013. Nice and simple.

A ten gallon batch would need 11-12 gallons of wort at the end of the boil depending on your fermentation setup, to get 5.5gal into a carboy or bucket with some trub left in the kettle. Boil off of about a gallon per hour is about right at that batch size, so that gets you to 13 gallons. Add a...

If you're happy with the taste then the battle is largely won!

What were your gravities to end up at 3.5%? It should finish up fairly dry at 1010-1012

What are you doing to your water re gypsum additions? Oxygenating with O2?

Pulled a couple of gravity samples from this weekends brews

Brewed an English pale ale on Friday and a Vienna ale yesterday. Making some mango apple cider today

Update from tonights brew: There is a setting on the EZBoil for mash mode called Attn. The default value is zero, if you increase it then the system responsiveness drops. I checked it out, first setting it to 1 which helped a lot but left the mash tun temp gradually creeping up, bumping it up to...

Kegged my latest pale ale, poured seven gallons of ruined stout down the toilet and set the conical up with the CIP ball to clean

I currently don't have GFCI on the power circuit. I'm well versed in electrical safety so I know the risks associated. I actually need to extend the solid cable which runs from the breaker box to a dryer outlet right now, as it's taking a diagonal route across the garage right now so I'm going...

New house new brewing setup. Every time I move I overhaul my brewing rig, largely pushing out previous choices made in the name of budget economy and going for the setup I really want one step at a time. This most recent move I made the full leap into 100% electric brewing. I've been on a...

Reading through replies again I might go with the auber relay. Like Doug says, the double throw nature eliminates the race condition, and it should be possible to figure out the switching using a three position switch to close the master contactor only in one direction, and to close the master...

Thanks all for the replies. I think I ruined a batch of stout over the weekend by a combination of compacting the grain bed and getting some gnarly overshoots in my RIMS temps, as the thing seems to have stopped fermenting at a terminal gravity of 1.030. I have been thinking on this myself, and...

Folks I've got a 240v 4500w element in my RIMS tube. This is great for bringing my mash liquor up to temperature nice and quickly, however it makes for far too much fluctuation when it's just being used to control mash temp (using an Auber EZBoil in mash mode or autotuned PIDs) I'd like to...

A quick test run showed that the evaporator coils get nice and cold. Now to assembled the supporting equipment and cough up for some glycol
