As far as plants I was looking for slow growing easy low to medium light one or two that have reddish leaves for some color. I have only added two plants so far Amazon Sword and Anubias Nana. Just started the fishless cycle yesterday.

Went to the lfs and picked up everything needed to get a cycle started, the lfs gave me some of their tank water to boost the cycle process, had to swing by the local Ace Hardware to get some ammonia. Going to start work on the tank after I mash in tomorrow. Picked up live plants , bulbs...

Thought I would document my BrewBoss controlled Blichmann BrewEasy setup. I have had the BrewBoss for 2-2.5 years now and was looking for an upgrade(why? I have no idea). I have had my eye on the BrewEasy but didn't want to buy another controller. So I bought a 7.5 gal Blichmann G2, 7.5 gal...

Wet run went very well, hoping to do my first sour and first brew on the new system. Heated all strike water in the boil kettle then pumped into mash tun. Had a 4 degree offset between mash tun and boil kettle.

Good thing I'm off tomorrow, going to be up late doing my wet run and brewing tomorrow.

My Blichmann BrewEasy. Going to use the BrewBoss I have already to control it.

I have read up on fishless cycling, that is part of the plan. I also plan to introduce the fish 1-2 at a time and allow the system to adjust to the addition before adding more fish. The hood I have the bulbs are shot, I am looking at 2 - 15w LED T10 Tubular Bulb Cold White Daylight 6000K 1500...

I have a 10 gal aquarium we got my son years ago, he never maintained it and so we abandoned the attempt to teach him responsibility with fish. I stored it up in the attic for a few years, I was needing to make room in the attic and figured the aquarium could go to my office and be something to...

I'll give that a shot, once I get the Boilermaker here and see how it all goes together.

Did a quick wet run with the BrewBoss and temp probe in a T off the kettle valve, yesterday. For the mash it worked great, for the boil auto detect phase no do much. It registered 168 when the water was boiling like a mad man ( 5500watt element at full power in 11gal kettle with4 gal H2O)...

Count me in

I want to buy a 7.5gal G2 next then the Brew Easy adapter. I would have loved to buy it all at once just can't spend that kind of money all at once. I have a Chugger and Brew-Boss so just need kettles and adapter.

Get in good with a company that does a lot of shipping and pay them to do it. I am friends with the owners of a technology supply company. They ship 100's of large packages per week. If I need to ship something large, I box it up take it to him he tells me what his cost is to ship and pay him...

G2 10gal 240v

Welder called and said it will be another week, it's not a big enough job for him to mess with really. So I just went and picked it up. SWMBO gave me permission to buy a Blichmann. Bye bye Bayou Classic, think this will be a good brew to christen the new kettle.

From what I can tell the brew-boss in auto mode needs the temperature until the boil auto detect phase is compete, then it doesn't need the temperature. While waiting on my equipment I plan to test the T, if I have time.

I was given the green light by the SWMBO to buy a new kettle. I purchased a Blichmann Boilermaker G2 10 gal 240v. I have also purchased the Brewmometer plug, sight glass cleaning brush, and BIAB false bottom from brewhardware (https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/biabbottom13.htm). I use a...

Ordered all the necessary items for the brewday. Have everything ready to make the starters. Hope to get my kettle back from the welder next week. I bought a PH meter shortly after I started all grain brewing several years ago. I use to have the cheap red Hanna meter it was awful, take...
