Nah, those are both good moments.

Wanting to brew this recipe this weekend but Wyeast told me they have no plans to release 3726 this year. Any idea of a decent substitute? Was thinking a 2:1 3724 to 3711 mix, or even pitcing 3724 first and then throwing a smack pack of 3711 a few days after fermentation starts. I have full...

Just emailed Wyeast about 3726 release this year and they said there is no plan to release it in 2016.

Yep, called him and did it over the phone.

I have the older, analog version of the controller so never tried it. If I was buying one now I would definitely consider that + the glycol for fermentation management.

Wow, terrible math above. :tank: Pump has approximately 5,000 hours and counting

If you end up going with a TK series, let me know your plans and I can let you know which one would suit you best. The 500 was around $600 but the 2000 I have now cost just as much as a glycol setup. But, I love having the built-in heater so it's more "all-in-one" than the glycol setup...

Did you do it with the rolled oats or malted oats? If malted, did you double crush separately or just a single crush mixed in?

I use a TK-2000 Aquarium chiller for fermentation and use an EHEIM Compact+ pump to circulate the water from an igloo cooler to the jacket and back. When I'm fermenting I run the pump 24/7.

I have the older Ranco style controller they used to supply with the kits. Absolutely zero issues with it. My first couple brews I measured with my Thermapen to get an idea of any difference. As others said, it's negligible. The key when mashing is to find the sweet spot of recirculation and...

I can't comment on the first two, but as far as the wire colander personally I would see it as worth the upgrade. I usually get 65-70% and have messed with crush setting, flow recirc, and rice hulls and haven't quite hit the sweet spot of efficiency yet. Occasionally I will get a very slow...

Seems like we all should be. I received my 6 from BrewPump but haven't taken them apart yet to see what is or is not missing. I did notice two of them came in a different style box

So, the Intertap inside body of the main faucet that beer flows through is actually chrome plated on top of the stainless? Pretty disappointing...

Just ordered 6 Intertaps from Brewpump after debating back and forth between the V2G and V3S from CMB. Hoping I don't have the same leaking issues.

What's the sheeting barrier you used on the chrome cart table storage?

Where did you get the mixing bowl from? Haven't had luck finding any bigger than 45qt or right at the diameter of the BIAC that were a pure rounded shape. That thing looks huge. Figured the full radius would help with condensate unlike JB Brewings bowl, but looks like you are having some...

Hmm, trying to decide between the Intertap and new CMB V2G or V3 faucets.

Can you list the details of your ventilation setup? Currently looking to buy a fan, hard ducting, and some sort of stainless mixing bowl upside down and looks like you have all of that. :mug:

Haven't tried to do anything less than a 10 gallon batch in my medium.

Good to know. I'm at 14 months since my first brew and haven't done a PBW soak since my initial one when I first got the unit.:mug:
