This system works perfectly. It controlled my electric brewery for 3 years. I have decided to change course with my brewing, and so I am parting with my BCS. Asking $200. I'm in Portland. Will ship for standard rates. Cheers, Tim

Thank you Carlscan26. That is very helpful!

I am glad I found this thread. I am trying to make the choice between these two brands, but at the 1/2 barrel size. It looks like this thread has lost some steam can anyone post an update about experiences with either of these unitanks? I found this on the SS Brewtech site...

It’s a very small amount of dark roasted malt. I have used: black patent, chocolate, carafa and Midnight wheat and Black prinz. Of these, the Midnight Wheat is the smoothest. I prefer using a small amount of one of these malts for color instead of more cara/crystal as I prefer bit less...

Yes, I have done this as a lager. It was good, less hoppy overall but very smooth. Yes, chocolate malt works, I use it often.

Yes, just be sure the hops are really ripe. I've done a bunch of wet hop beers.Some have been fabulous. Though now I prefer to dry my homegrown hops and use when just dried. For me I get better flavor-sometimes the wet hops can give a vegetal flavor if not really ripe. I'd add only at end of...

Are you talking about using the wet hops in the boil or as a "wet" dry hop?

Congrats!!

Jason, my hopping has evolved over the years, and I agree the aroma is better with about 2x the dry hops. Also, with the big malt on this beer, it can handle a bigger bittering charge.

So glad it turned out for you!

Sorry for the late reply... been busy. I guess you could compare it to Heretic's Evil Twin (Jamil), or Bear Republic Hop Rocket Red but this recipe is IMHO more malty and better balanced. I have never had another red quite like it.

WillieP. just back online. I hope your brew day was a success. I would imagine your have a very dank, piney IRA on your hands based on the hop schedule. Cheers, Tim

I just made my 2016 version of this with Simcoe to bitter, then all Amarillo. Its really great. I used Imperial Organic Yeast "House" strain which is WLP 007/Wyeast 1098.

Looks OK, I am not a fan of Victory but that is a taste preference thing. I like the hops choice. Did you run this through a recipe calculator? I'd keep the IBU at 30 or lower on this light of a beer. As for yeast, if you want a bit more character, then yes the S-04. S-05, especially fermented...

Hey Boyd, I have used 1968 and it was a bit sweet. Tasty for sure- I love that yeast. If you use it, mash lower as you want the beer to dry out

FlaglerBC, The recipe is a wandering beast for sure. I have not brewed this in a while, but my favorite version is: 7.5 Lbs pale (59%) 4 lbs light munich (32%) .5 lbs C-40 (4%) .5 lbs C-90 (4%) 1 oz black patent (1%) 1 OZ SIMCOE 60 MIN 1 OZ CASCADE 20 MIN 1 OZ AMARILLO 5 MIN DRY HOP: .75...

Nice experiment zazzler. I am curious about the results. Experimental Brewing is doing a 180f vs. 120f hopstand experiment this month. check that out too. As for the dry hops schedule, I have played around with that-having read lots about multi-stage dry-hopping, and trying different hops. It...

Thanks Silverfish. I must missed the Tahoma and Cashmere...they probably gave them to you:) I'm going to do an IPA with the TP and YG in equal quantity. Brulosopher did a "Perle Cross" APA. He also confirmed that Perle Cross is now called Triple Pearl. See his post about this hop.
