    Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing

    Anyone with the Nano 20.........Do you think I could do a 10 gallon batch of stout with a 32 lb grain bill and a 17 gallon water vol? I would hold back 2 gallons for a sparge at the end.

    Imperial Stout Sweet Chocolate Milk Stout

    What are the fermentation temps? Also just to clarify the sugar and coco are added at 45 min. So is that with 15 minutes left or 15 min into boil? Also anyone try the debittered black patent malt? Thanks, Scott

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Thanks for the formula. Here is what I calculated for the 3 nozzles at 60 psi 3.16 gph nozzle will actually be at 3.87 at my pressure 6.32 gph nozzle will actually be at 7.74 at my pressure 9.49 gph nozzle will actually be at 11.62 at my pressure It looks like the 6.32 will be my...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I do not think the DMS will be a problem. If you leave the lid on with all grain brewing you will get DMS. DMS exits at 99 degrees. Yes the lid is on but we ARE venting the steam with a vigorous boil. Look at the kettles in any brewery. They are all covered and have some sort of vent...

    Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing

    I ordered a hop basket from Brew Hardware (https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hopbasket800.htm) I also ordered two super magnet strips (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L2VN4VC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) My plan is to JB weld one to the basket and use the other one on the outside of...

    I just ordered both nozzles but will use the 6 on my next batch.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Thanks for the compliment.......I do not see a problem. I also do 10 gallon batches. I have a 1.5" tri blank cap in case I have to mash some massive beer. Once the basket is out I can connect the condenser for boil.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I just put the pressure meter on my house....60 PSI. I am going to order the 6.32 and 3.16 to experiment with. I wish they had a spec for other water pressures.

    I have the 9 gph mister. I am checking the water pressure this afternoon.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    I agree 100%. I did a one hour test boil to come of with my .7 gph boil rate, The waste water has a strong aroma and its hot so I know its pulling the boil off out. The bad steam still gets out but its much more efficient. I have never seen an open kettle at any of the breweries I have visited.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Brewed a 10 gallon batch yesterday and it worked flawlessly. For a 60 minute boil I ended up with about 13 gallons of waste water. No steam left the pot with a really vigorous boil. I am adding a bulkhead to my sink with a camloc to send the waste to the drain instead of a bucket. Brundog's...

    Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing

    This was my first time brewing with the Colorado System. Other than some self inflicted wounds, it went well. I used all RO water (14.5 gal) and built my profile. Beer Smith indicated I would need 27ml of lactic acid to hit 5.3 PH. I initially added 15ml and after 10 minutes of mashing my PH...

    Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing

    I want to first give credit to Brundog. This is his design and its awesome. I decided to go with a 1.5” tri clamp version of his design. I had to source my parts from different vendors. Spray nozzle, nipple, and reducer from McMaster Carr. 1.5” instrument T from Brewers Hardware. ½”...

    Unboxing the Nano from CO Brewing

    I am installing a version of this on a Nano 20 this Friday. I will be using a 1.5" T. I will post lots of photos and plan to do a boil test and have the results posted by Friday evening.

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    I buy from Bobby. Great service and You will get no support from Amazon. I also buy from Brewers hardware. I like supporting the small guys. If that means spending a little more so be it. You get what you pay for.

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Mine will be mounted on the side . I have 65 psi water pressure so this should really work well with the larger nozzle. I’ll docum ent the install with lots of photos.
