@grum and @duncan.brown Thanks for the feedback and info! I actually just read your writeup in the BYO October issue. Very nice. I won't be going as far as grum did with sizing of different lines based on different beverages, as I like to swap out beers, ciders, and seltzers depending on the...

I just read through this entire thread. A lot of great info from all. I finally bought a CF 15 and had a few questions on best practices and procedures. I'm not trying to invent the wheel here, just would like some feedback: 1. As JRG laid out above for dry hopped beers, I have been wondering...

I'm looking to do something similar as I have about an 18-ft run, glycol cooled. Currently using EJ Ultra Barrier Lines that came with my pre-made trunkline. I am finding that I do have to dump the first pour after about 2-3 days sitting in the lines, which is about 9oz for 5/16ID lines. Not...

The setup in the video per Jaybird uses displacement with differential pressure. As in, you pressurize the yeast brink to a higher pressure than the conical. This would also be the case in the vertical position as you’re trying to shoot the hops up into the conical. Per Jaybird’s opinion, this...

I’m wondering about using the yeast brink after the elbow in the horizontal position? I talked with Jaybird about it and he said some users reported better results with it in that position. I’m thinking it would reduce or eliminate the need for a second or third round of filling with beer and...

I have been considering the same. I was thinking about using a wort strainer I already have, 1.5” TC, and using that for the canister with either a spike gas manifold on top or something like a gas post and prv for purging. I also know @Jaybird sells a really nice Dry hopper I was talking to...

I’m looking to brew something similar as well. I agree with @couchsending in the fact that the FG is probably north of 1.030 and probably a good idea to make the vanilla play a supporting role, not dominate. I would like a whipped cream flavor to come through but not quite sure how to achieve it...

That’s great that you’re getting good attenuation and results from original vials and repitches. I just checked and my unopened vial best by is 9/14/2019 so I’m going to slowly revive it over a few weeks monitoring how it performs. I’m thinking of brewing a pale ale with it first so that the...

I was thinking about doing my next IPA with a vial from the vault that I’m gonna have to slowly revive. How did the beers turn out?

Sorry I haven’t been on for awhile either. The pump I use is Penguin’s xl submersible for my diy ac glycol system. 8 gallon reservoir with a short circuit timer on the pump helps keep the unit to cycle about once every hour and a half. Not too bad. The pump is expensive however it has good head...

Congrats on the gold! I saw that on the website when checking results and thought it was an interesting combo. I’m going to be brewing a pale ale as well with this combo as I have a lot of Nelson to use. I too follow Hill Farmstead to see what combos they’re putting out. I’ve enjoyed citra...

In. Thanks!

That is good advice. I started using a short timer switch so that it cycles on for a few minutes and then is off for double that or more. I find that now the glycol chiller is turning on less than once per hour. Perhaps it’s closer to once every hour and a half. I have 8 beer lines with the...

Very good

Has to be one of my favorite if not favorite from them. The aroma and flavor of that beer is spot on. It’s not brewed very often though

Finally made it to Sloop at the Factory. Always visited the barn. Drinking a DDH Juice bomb. They’re beers are always on point and I feel like similar to Treehouse and Other Half offerings

Is there a concern about not leaving it on the yeast long enough to clean up diacetyl or other flavor compounds? Or is it the thought that pitching the correct amount of healthy and vital yeast does a lot to limit these? Or there is enough yeast during the transfer to metabolize these compounds...

USA WiFi itc308 thanks!

The first burp of foam is normal. I just find that the first 9 oz is warmer and less carbonated. Over a week of no pours and it’s staled. My penguin pump runs non-stop to keep cold glycol circulating. I have a temperature controller attached to the power supply of the glycol chiller. The probe...

I agree that there are a lot of additional costs that you may not think of when setting up. I was at the Home Improvement store constantly picking up supplies. I will say I recommend a DIY glycol chiller for this purpose. The lines come out of the reservoir and then through the chest freezer...
