    ss brew tech 20 gallon mash tun

    I did something similar on my HLT & Mash Tun 10gal water cooler system. I would heat water 25degs hotter than my mash temp and put my old copper wort chiller into the HLT. Then I would put a pump between the valve of the Tun, send the wort through the chiller to pick up heat when needed and...

    The 20gal Ss Tuns come pre-drilled with a re-circ port. Ss also sells the correct drill bits with detailed instructions for drilling out the 10gal modes.

    ss brew tech 20 gallon mash tun

    My wife bought me the Ss 20Gal Mash Tun for Christmas. :-) New Years day I brewed a 10gal batch of Black IPA. I would always fly sparge while using my previous 10gal water cooler system so I decided to batch sparge since I had the extra capacity. I preheated the tun with 5gals, dumped...

    Long Term Cider Project

    Thanks Maylar. I make prison houch from time to time in 1 gallon jugs with 3 cans of apple or apple/something concentrate, cup of sugar and water top off. I hit it with a crushed Campden tablet about the 45 - 50 day mark. It's hazy at that point = kinda clear/kinda cloudy. 10 days after...

    Cleaning a Plate Chiller

    Great that you got a free plate chiller,.. sucks that it wasn't properly taken care of before you got it. My kids got me a Blickman Terminator for my birthday about a year ago. I have about a dozen brews through it so far, but always put it on line in a closed loop with the mash tun and pump...

    Spent Grain

    Just made my first bread from the grains of a Black IPA I did on New Years Day. It was fantastic, but needed some salt. 3 Cups of spent grain, 5 Cups flour, 1 cup of Homebrew Baltic Porter, some sugar and water. Of course I did a flour/yeast starter the night before. Made two very nice size...

    Chilling the wort

    I've used frozen 1gal plastic water jugs when I've overshot my strike water, but never on wort after to boil. Seems like a fairly high risk for infection to me.

    First brew in 2017

    Just getting ready to pitch yeast on my Black IPA - 10gal batch. It was a long day but got a 20gal Ss Brew Tech Mash Tun for Christmas and was dying to try it out.

    Dregs waiting in bottle

    The price to find out is just a small starter. Do one with the dregs and see if the yeast propagates.

    Single Tier w/RIMS Build 2016

    That is a very nice and clean configuration. Well done, Sir. I have been building my brew table on paper for the past month or so. Think I have it all figured out and will start building soon. Oh, love the green accents. Especially the inline water filter canister.

    Yeast Starter Question

    I think you should be ok. Don't get wrapped around the axle about the lack of air lock activity on a starter. Ideally you want a slightly loose wrap of sanitized tin foil over the top of the flask Does you solution look "milky"? If so, the yeast are propagating. If started tonight, I would...

    An entire propane tank on a single brew?

    I have an Anvil as well and get 3 - 4 brews from a bottle of propane. Depends if I do 10gal batches or not.
