I just swapped out my nozzle from the 9 to the 6. I ran a test boil and the water is definitely hotter than it was with the 9 gph nozzle. (150 vs 200 degrees). I am debating if I want to switch before my next brew day. I have my new sink drain hook up and there was more steam with the 6...

Looks awesome...... nice work!

Anyone have a good RO water profile that they have used with this beer?

My error....Too much egg nog! You are correct so I do not see any issues with a non pressure PVC drain pipe.

Non pressure schedule 40 PVC is rated to 140 degrees. The temps vary but you can expect 145 degrees and up. A plastic bucket works fine or you can just trickle run your sink to dilute and reduce the temp if running into a drain. I added a cam lock bulkhead to my sink. This way I can...

I just sketched out an airlock system for gelatin/dry hopping to minimize O2 contamination. Parts ordered. I can't use it on the beer currently sitting in the fermenter but I will try it on my next batch.

For you guys wanting to use a hop spider with the condenser system, here is a link to my hop basket mod....... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/unboxing-the-nano-from-co-brewing.575659/page-31#post-8177063

Here is my hop basket mod. I ordered the 500 micron from Bobby at Brew Hardware. He has 300, 500, and 800 micron. I attached a 33lb super magnet to the basket with JB Weld. I then used a Dremel tool to cut off the hangars on the basket. Here it is installed in the kettle allowing...

Beer is sitting at 1.025 and still bubbling. :)

Thanks for the info. This recipe calls for 2 week fermentation and a FG of 1.007. I am going to check the gravity later today to see where I am at. Since I am adding gelatin. Just need to figure out best time to close the BO valve prior to cold crashing to have a little positive pressure. I...

What carbonation method are you using? I have 10 gallons that has been in the uni for 7 days at 62 degrees and just bumped up to 68 for another 7. My plan is to cold crash after that, add gelatin and then carbonate. Looking for 2.5 on this beer. I estimated the stone wet pressure at 3-4 psi.

I have 10 gallons sitting in my unitank. My plan is to cold crash to 32 degrees and add gelatin. My question is can I also start carbing (set and forget) at the same time or wait two days for the gelatin to work and then start to carb? Thanks, Scott

Thanks. I have 10 gallons sitting in the fermenter @ 62 degrees.

Thanks for the link. More validation. That study was with no venting at all. I was about to design a hood setup when I stumbled upon Bundogs thread. This will make inside brewing a reality and save a lot of money in the process. Plus no loud vent hood!!

I used the 1.5 tri fittings and Brundog used 2”. I agree with your DMS comments.

Thanks for the formulas...Math and me not friends....lol

The pilot hole is the key. Measure twice drill once! The fitting seats really well. It has a nice O ring. When you install it, the 42 mm hole has a little wiggle room. Make sure the fitting is centered up and hand tighten the nut. Then put a tri clamp fitting in the outside to help hold it...

That is 100% correct. Get a good drill bit to drill your pilot hole. That SS puts up a fight. Use cutting oil on the hole saw. Lots of pressure and low RPM.

Did you order a 1.5 blank cap just in case for a large grain bill mash in?
