I use a brew bag on my 35L Gen4. I have found this works very well to minimize problems associated with hops and grain debris. In addition I've seen many questions on holding mash temps. I overcame this with an 18" analogue thermometer. I use the top grain screen in the mash tun and put the...

Thanks for getting back to me. By no means am I newby. I have over 30 years brewing and jumped on the Brewzilla when I knew I needed a smaller profile for all-grain.

I just found this posting. You make very interesting points. I also had many problems similar to yours with the GEN4 controller. My problem stemmed from temperature errors ranging from -167F to 780F. Rapt sent one error email after another and it got to be nerve racking. I did not have the...

Thanks for the link to the catalogue. All parmaters were returned to default settings, the registration was removed and the startup inititated again. After restarting, registration could not be redone and temperature errors were contatnt. Prior to pulling the registration, Rapt sent me 7 error...

Can anyone tell me how to save the changes I make on the controller for temperature? I tried changing it from 3 degrees down to 1 degree and the controller kept instructing me to save the change by entering the changed value. For the life of me I don't know where to enter this or how to save...

I have enough Corny’s that I’m no longer going to buy any more. The last new one I got came out of India & it has been nothing but a problem. The best ones I have are the old Pepsi & Coke ones out of the 1970’s.

I tried Aeration stones for a while and had alot of problems with infection. I agree with you. I have found that when I transfer finished beer into my fermenter I allow the beer to splash. this works great and it is very simple. I use the stones for carbonation and always boil them before...

For over 35 years I have been transferring to a secondary with no issues. For the first time I have two ales in a primary that I’m going to see how single stage works. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Try using your bottles when they are still moist with star San. This has no effect on the yeast or flavor.

I would use Morebeer. Very reliable. I bought from the aforementioned companies for years and just made the switch a couple months ago. Very pleased.

Perfectly normal. Relax and get ready to enjoy a homebrew soon. There is nothing like it!

If you set aside at room temp, make sure you force any air in the keg out.

I am very impressed with their support. More Beer seems willing & able to accommodate any order.

Ordered on 9/6 a number of brewing kits. It’s now 9/20 and still nothing from Midwest. I got a message from Northern that they were putting orders together from 9/2. I tried More Beer. I got two orders in 3 days each and a Mew Brewzilla in two days. More Beer has a ware house in PA & CA. seems...

I have used Midwest & Northern for over 15 years. I have seen some alarming changes & not just with the onset of COVID. I have not dumped them. I can’t wait 2-3 weeks for a shipment or even a response without using an alternate. My point here is that they need to re-evaluate and reinstate their...

Good luck on getting anything quickly from Midwest or Northern Brewer. I ordered beer supplies from them. Thank was two weeks ago. No hint on when the supplies are shipping. I got frustrated so I order some of it from More Beer just to keep me going. More Beer got it to me in 3 days.

Seems to be a lot of discussion on the potential for & evidence of infections in fermenters. To support the concern about pet fur & dander, I have 2 dogs & a cat. I stopped brewing until I came up with an area & method that would remove me from the pets’ influence. I was losing about 10% of my...

I have used both tanks and a dump & stir method. When using tank oxygen with a diffusion stone make sure you pull the stone off after each & boil it for 15 minutes & you’ll never run into a clogged diffuser. Sometimes if I run out of oxygen I go back to the old & successful method. I never had...

I have bought from Northern Brewer & Midwest Supplies for years. I think if you source their holding company, you would find a major Brewery. I have also found shipping issues with AIH, Northern Brewer, & Midwest. All three have been sending me a boat load of deals & coupons lately. That seems...

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
