Why would you rack put out of your conical into carboys? And then rack back? Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the conical. Dump your trub when fermentation is complete. Cold crash. Then rack to keg / bottling bucket.

Don't fear the foam!

I etched mine and really like how it turned out.

2016 hops harvested and in the dehydrator!

I like to make a tincture with my spices. Measure out 1-2 tsp spices and add to 1 cup of vodka or everclear. Wait a week. Strain through a coffee filter and add to fermenter.

Just started watching this evening. Great documentery so far.

Firestone has their large brewery up in Paso Robles if I remember correctly. Right off of the 101. Stop in San Luis Obispo and see Central Coast Brewing. If you want a great meal, stop by Firestone Grill on Higuera street and order a tri-tip sandwich. I went to college in SLO back in the 90's...

I have 20 gallon HLT, MLT, and BK from stout. I have been very pleased. :mug:

In terms of reducing wait time from brewday to glass, there are a few techniques which will help. 1) Kegging will reduce the need for bottle conditioning / carbonation. I typically carbonate in the keg over a three day period. 2) Dry hop once you've achieved around 75-85% attenuation. I dry...

I did a tour of Steam Whistle brewery in Toronto a few years ago. Obviously, not what one would call a craft brewery. But good tour nonetheless.

Wow, sounds dangerous. Hope nobody got hurt.

Give it a go then. Let us know how it turns out. :mug:

I'd suggest keeping the Melanoidin malt below 10%. Maybe drop to 1.5lbs. The vienna and munich malt will provide a good amount of full bodied maltiness already.

I took a measurement with the disconnect on and it's 35 3/8" tall.

Shipping via UPS ground will be $40 to 60048.

No, the welds look excellent. Let me check on the shipping cost for you.

[Sold] Looking to sell my 15 gallon ball lock corny keg. I bought the keg from chicompany.net a little over a year ago and have only used it once. Pictures and details can be found here: http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=376_1_44&products_id=1074 Like new...

Sausage! Made 15lb of Weissworst, Bratwurst, and Knackwurst tonight. Mmmmmm...

What yeast strain did you pitch? Depending on the strain, my guess would be yeast rafts. I've had a number of strains do the same. They looks like little yeast orgys cruising around the fermenter. :)
