    FTSs Brewtech Glycol Chiller

    I would concur - SS customer service has been great and replacements have been sent out immidiately. The problem is, they need to address the defect and design flaw in their product to ensure dependability in their product. I had a unit go bad during an active fermentation and my temps shot...

    FTSs Brewtech Glycol Chiller

    I have the SS chiller and have been very happy with it. Prior to the glycol unit, I used a stand up freezer with temp controller. I find the chiller is so much more precise and efficient in getting to temp and maintaining. Also, takes up much less room. Currently I am controlling temps on two...

    SS Brewtech FTSS pump/heater and power barrel jack size?

    I've recently completed building a new fermentation control system to replace my two FTSS units. After several bad units, I gave up on SS. While SS produces great stainless (I have 2 half barrel conicals) and have been great to work with regarding replacements, the controller units have a major...

    Damned hydrometer...

    Yeah, I thought of that. I happen to have a couple others so I figured I'd toss this one after the headache. Maybe I'll just mark it with a sharpie.

    Damned hydrometer...

    So, I'm so irritated at this stupid hydrometer. I use a refractometer pre fermentation and use one of my my trusty hydrometers to check og (have a few in the drawer). My 16 gal batch of porter finished after a wild fermentation (WLP007) at 1.019. I figured it had a little more to go and upped...

    Hey, great work friend. So far my BCS/RPi system working great, but the engineer in me thinks this could be a fun future upgrade. I'll definitely keep my eye on how this develops. Thanks!

    Yes, I stand corrected. I guess they are peddling Asian casinos today.

    What's this? Infection?

    I did open about 3 weeks ago to take a sample and add super kleer KC. The blob was not there then. Could this be from the super kleer?

    What's this? Infection?

    Hey everybody, I've got 5 gallons of cyser that's been sitting for 6 months. Opened up to keg today and found this. Smells like apple. Figured it would have dropped clear, but still super murky. Thoughts?

    Anyone have a Stout Tank Mash tun and can comment on efficiency?

    Also, +1 on the previous comment about using a good mill - a properly dialed in grist will boost efficiency

    I have a 20 gal Stout Mash run and couldn't be happier. Automated rims system and fly sparge. 80%+ Everytime.

    Lager Yeasts

    So, I'm a big fan of WLP940, Mexican lager yeast. It's a great strain. Try it out, you will not be disappointed.

    Korean Posts Translated in Google

    They're back at it today. Must be pissed off about the death of Kim Jong Un's brother: Kim Jong Un is a top suspect in his half brothers death The new translation from Korean to English is "Super Casino, Asian Casino." Massages yesterday, casinos and gambling today...
