    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Has anyone seen the new Fermzilla 27L? I just got one delivered today(can't wait to get rid of my fastferment!!!), and wanted to bounce an idea off you guys in this forum specifically. Rumor is that you can run a stir plate using the collection jar. SO i got to thinking, if i had a strong enough...

    Fermzilla

    i have heard you can use the collection jar to make yeast starters. I am wounder if i set my stir plate under the jar(when its attached to the FV) i can just keep the starter in the FV from day one, then you dont need any flasks for starters. Also i was thinking if i have a powerful enough stir...

    Great Lakes Chillwave DBL IPA Clone advise please

    I am not sure it has been too long to remember the AG to extract factor you would need to figure out how much LME or DME you need per pound of grain. Search it on here I am sure it will turn up. I used nugget for my boil hop edition and centennial and mosaic for whirlpool and dry hop and it...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Dry hopping not in a bag is something i have been scared to try. I have a fastferment conical, does anyone have tips on doing this or what methods work best for dry hopping without a bag. I am just worried about getting all the hops out when you dump the conical. I can never seem to empty the...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    I am making custom brew spreadsheet to track my recipes better and hopping rates to compare recipes, and i am questioning what wort volume you guys have been using to calc the hops to wort ratio. Do you take the total kettle hops divided by your gallons packaged or use the post boil/whirlpool...

    Ebiab Temp probe Mount Loaction

    Thanks for the advice, I tried it on my last brew and was able to maintain a stable mash temp with locating my probe as you recommended. This was my easiest mash in since I did not have to worry about the temps fluxing up and down the whole mash. It was so nice to see that each time I checked...

    Ebiab Temp probe Mount Loaction

    That's a good point. Sounds like the best spot to put the probe is a spot between the element and intake port going to my pump. Currently i have a 3 ft line to my pump, and a 3ft line from pump to upper re-circ port on the kettle. I am finding a 4*F heat loss when recirculating from this...

    Ebiab Temp probe Mount Loaction

    I have the same FB you have from BobbyM, thats a good idea about using the two probe locations and just switching the probe plugs. I think i will plan to do that eventually. I still have to learn how to soder this weekend to attach my prob wires to the XLR so i can plug it into my controller...

    Ebiab Temp probe Mount Loaction

    I just got a new 2" RTD PT100 prob for my Ebiab setup and i am wondering where the best location is to mount it. I have seen guys doing either of the two options: #1 - Mount the probe to a Tee at the kettle outlet/ball valve feeding into your pump. PRO's This may be good to control your...

    E BIAB Parts List

    you def want to look at getting some quick disconnects for your hoses since you will be doing all that switching and re-configuring on your top kettle port. I am pretty sure the steam slayer is a semi fixed unit. So if i were you i would install a whirlpool arm and re-circ port in addition to...
