That was my first thought but they are both so strong right from the bag. I was thinking maybe dropping a few pellets of each into some hot water in a cup and covering it. The idea is to release a little aroma into the headspace and see if I can tell the difference. That's a lot of faith in my...

So I made a 10 gallon batch of a pale ale base. I split it into 2 5 gallon batches with the idea of then dry hopping one with Simco and one with Citra. I had an eight once package of each. And everything went fine. Where is the problem you might ask? Well I package the remaining hops in Ziploc...

Pretty much all internal wiring is done. I still need to wire in a separate 110v line for the light and fan, but that's quick and easy.

Getting there.... Just 220v left to do.

All holes drilled and cut. Just got done priming. Should have paint on by this afternoon.

Am looking to get a chest freezer to make a fermentation chamber. I can get the 8.8 cubic foot one linked below for free from a rewards program at work. Any one use this or have any idea how many fermentation buckets I could fit in it at a time? Since it looks like home depot carries it, I...

All internal components mounted to back plate. Now I just need to drill some quick holes to mount the heat sinks on the top. Sand prime paint... And hopefully start wiring this weekend.

I'll have to actually create one first. For the m oat part it is a Kal clone with PJs e-stop. I will probably write up some wiring diagrams for each part of the system separately for my own future reference. I'll post them when I do. Unless someone can direct me to an online tool, they will...

It seems like forever since I have last worked on this project. Super long workdays and a four-month-old child (and a 3 year old too) take priority. Here's some recent pics of some progress I've made. All holes and Outlets have been cut and test mounted on the bottom of Control Panel. Also here...

Just to clarify your recipe.... How much is a handle of Bacardi? I assume one and a half handles is a 1.75 liter bottle but want to make sure. And water to volume is just filling the keg the rest of the way till its full?

Holy crap! Nice work'

Please post!

Just tapped into this tonight. It's "lighter" than I expected. I'm gonna make this a few times before I change anything up. But so far I think a little biscuit malt might be delightful.

The only way to know for sure if your done fermenting is to take two hydrometer samples a couple days apart and see if the gravity dropped... If it stays the same, you're ready to keg. I personally always go three weeks in the primary before kegging regardless of what the recipe says. There...

Three months in primary, chilled and carbed..,. Delightful. I'm gonna bottle about 12 as is (original recipe exactly) then back sweeten the rest. I'm also setting one bottle of each (also have a bottle uncarbinated) in the back of my basement cabinet so I forget about them with a reminder set on...

Ironically I finally had some time to work on it today (new baby takes priority :) ) just measured out and began drilling the holes in the bottom. I may start checking eBay for some greenlee punches as the metal is bending a bit making the holes difficult and sloppy. Also, anyone have any ideas...

Yep same here, although I didn't smack it that hard. Mine seemed the result of a weak seal. I just taped it shut and it somewhat expanded. Pitched it and all was well.

I have an extra liquid side disconnect with about two feet of beer line on it with one of those plastic clamps. I turn my gas off and release pressure. insert tube to bottom of bottle and give little shot of gas. With some practice it easy to hold bottle in one hand and manipulate the clamp with...

I did the Ranco but it requires you to wire it. In my case I just bought an appliance extension cord from home depot and cut and installed it. But considering you stated skills you may want to consider the Johnson controls unit I linked below. It's prewired so all you do is plug it into the...
