I picked up a cheap electric power washer to use in the brew area. Just throw the 15* tip on and run it around the edge with the basket upside down. It knocks the little stranglers stuck it there right out. It also makes it way easier to clean everything up.

Will do. I've added an agitator to deal with any stuck mash. So 99% it's happening either during the heat up or boil. Edit: it's the 5500 watt ulwd element from electric brew supply. The 804 stainless version, not the shiny 304. Heat up I run at 100%, maybe 20 gallons is too much for this...

Have scroched two brews in a row now. Ditching the straight 304 stainless element for a ripple 804 element. Going to go nuts if I ruin another 15 gallons. 99% it's happening during the boil.

Brewing another 15 gallons of this Sunday, base for a cherry wheat again. Got super good reviews last batch.

I just kegged this Thursday night, force carbed, and pulled a glass this morning. Good blonde, would be a nice hot summer day beer and perfect for those just tipping their toes into the beer world. Thanks for the recipe.

Hook it up at 10-12psi and purge the 02. Crank it up to 30psi and shake it for a few minutes, 5 minutes would probably get you carbed in 24 hours pretty easy. I unhook overnight, purge pressure in the morning, and hook up to serving pressure.

West of Saginaw. Redline is a cool place, Doug showed me around when I went there the first time.

Shook the crap out of my keg for a few minutes at 30psi. Left it for 12 hours and hooked it up at serving pressure. Not fully carbed but close. Drank 3 glasses tonight :o No cold crash, my liver has mastered filtering beer.

Copied this other than the yeast and scaled to 10 gallons, I used 1056 yeast. I've never had the real thing so I can't compare but I can say this is the best IPA I've ever had.

For the 20 it'll completely depend on your end batch Size but let's stick at 10 gallons. Id say you're going to max around 28lbs for a finished 11 gallons of wort. 30-31 would be possible but you'd really have to be on your game and no flaked oats or wheat. At least in my experience, 8 brews...

I shoot for 10.5 to 11 gallons also. The 1.072 was 11 gallons in the fermenters.

Keep a really close eye on the level of liquid outside the basket. Or get up to temp, shut element off, and put the lid on it. With the 25 gallon kettle that should be pretty easy. I just did it in my 20 gallon two brews ago no problem too, 1.061 no sparge and a 10 gallon batch. We did...

I hate smokey beers but my first one got ruined because I scorched it so bad. Would've been passable as a smoked stout though honestly. It was scorched so bad I had to clean it with muratic acid and clr. I usually just soak it in pbw,heat it up to 180, and let it sit with the lid on over...

I get some light scorching every batch. No worries.

I use one, with the plate chiller you absolutely need one. I use a 30 plate chiller from duda diesel. Works ok, when it doesn't plug it chills extremely fast. 10 gallons down in roughly 15 min right now in Michigan. For those interested here's a video doing a fairly large brain bill...

Wanted to say I brewed this turning it into a cherry wheat. It was great, had a keg of it at a beer expo and many said it was the best beer there.

I have the same setup from July and mine is not welded.

Another one. First IPA https://youtu.be/tA1PrR9fkM8

No problem, awesome man is looking great. Hopefully I can make my way across country and check it out. Looks super cool. Have your stated test batches or anything yet?

Shot you a PM but any updates? I followed you guys on Facebook.
