I've definitely heard good things about Citra/Sabro combos. In fact, it's my next scheduled brew. Kal

He was indeed one of the hosts on The Brewing Network: ABOUT | The Brewing Network Always really respected his brewing knowledge. I remember being interviewed by them almost 10 years ago and being really nervous about Mike being on the panel as the guy knows everything about brewing. He took a...

Bingo! Beer saved. Cheers! Kal

Coming together nicely! Kal

I think it depends on how it's used in the brewing process, the recipe, water adjustments, and so forth. Some people say it's like a cat litter box (if used incorrectly). All I get is tangerine / sweet fruit mixed with creamy hints of coconut and vanilla. No dill, no cedar, nothing herbal at...

It's definitely a really unique hop - I find it stands really well on its own if you use it right. There's enough complexity there. I find it pretty cool that there are constantly new hops coming out for us to try out! Kal

I brewed an all Sabro New England Pale Ale a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. All late hopping, extended steeping at lower temp (180F), followed by dry hopping during active fermentation and then at end of fermentation. The end result to me was tangerine / sweet fruit mixed with creamy...

Bingo. I make my own NEIPA now, my own recipe, partially due to all the learning and reading here and elsewhere. I prefer mine because I make it how I like it but I'm definitely "standing on the shoulders of giants" as the expression goes. Kal

We've all done that! ;) Gotcha! Sorry, no. The pump receptacles in my 120/240V design supply 120V to the pumps since they're meant only to be used with 120V pumps. The receptacles are (usually) rated to 125V only and 120V is supplied. We use L5-15 (125V/15A) receptacles on this panel. The...

Location. If you live in a country where both 120V and 240V are available, I'd suggest going with a panel that supports those two as 120V pumps are easier to find in places like North America. Live in a country that only has 240V (no 120V) then you're forced to use a 240V panel and pumps. All...

Correct. Side inlet can be considerably harder to prime, which is why my design uses center inlet and therefore doesn't require bleeder valves or similar. Complete details in my pump build article: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/pumps Kal

Haven't brewed this one recently but when I did it turned out great! Required a lot of hopshots: More pics here: https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com/pages/russian-river-pliny-the-younger-triple-ipa Kal

No it won't. Much of it hit the ceiling and side walls and drops back into solution. This is why manufacturers of steam condensers say that boil off rate is greatly reduced. An example quote from one such manufacturer: "During testing, our team found that with our steam condenser, there was...

augiedoggy is correct. A kettle with a hood results in less evap for the reasons he stated. In fact, many of the sellers of systems that include steam condensators tout this as a benefit as they say you'll end up with more beer because the evap level is lower. The less you evaporate, the more...

Steam condensers seem to be picking up "steam" (ha! pardon the pun). One thing that a lot of people don't seem to realize is how hot your brew room may get when using one. This would be a big concern for me and never seems to be mentioned. Remember that kettles running hot create a lot of heat...

You've already ordered, but for what it's worth I've been using this one since 2009: https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com/pages/vortex-vtx600-6-powerfan-452-cfm I even bought mine used on ebay. I also confirmed with the manufacturer that it's suitable for exhausting steam for my purpose, so all...

Cool! As long as it makes great beer and is something you can support it / use it long term / is easy to use, it's all good! Good luck with your build! Any questions, feel free to reach out. Cheers! Ka

Yup. And if it used to work before but now doesn't, you probably changed something by accident. Just download the same version again. Kal

The best option is one that gets done so that it actually produces beer. (Sorry, couldn't resist given that it's been 6 years). ;) What technology you use at the end of the day is somewhat irrelevant. They can all be made to produce identical beer. It's up to you to choose whatever works best...

It most definitely used Shopify. It's normal for the domain/URL to still show the shop name. It's all part of the ecommerce solution that Shopify offers. You can confirm here: https://builtwith.com/outfittasks.top Kal
