Claudius, your brewery pics are awesome. I'm sure few homebrewers setups can compair. I used to have time to design and build when I was back in an engineer role. Now I'm a corporate guy and have to spend time thinking about how to save time......hence brew in a bag.
Questions were asked about the "glass tops". I built these with polycarbonate tops so I could see the fermentation action. I've always liked watching the action in the carboys and commercial conicals have SS tops that you cannot see the fermentation action. I added these tops so I can see...
See first post of my duel (dual) conical fermenters. These are for sale now because I need to make higher capacity fermenters.
They work very well,
I live in the St. Louis area. Selling for around $600. A single conical is $500+
Prost,
I designed these in Solidworks. They have a rotating racking arm. All Stainless Steel.

I might be selling these. Custom designed double 6.4 gallon conicles fermenters. Any interest?
I apologize if this is in the wrong forum area.

I've been off this forum for a long time but I'm glad this recipe was a hit for some folks.
I absolutely loved this recipe as did my friends. The key is to ferment at high temperatures. It definietly tases like baked goods. Going into fall season this is one to try. Make sure you have a...
Do this with Brew in a Bag technique and you won't even need to sparge. Just mash out the next morning and start your boil. I'm the Johnny Appleseed of Brew in a Bag......spreading the word. You've got to try this easy, effective method.
The bags on Austinhomebrew.com are $6 each and fill my 11gallon brew pot. They've been strong enough for 11+ lbs of grain with a twist at the end to extract the last wort. The only downfall is the clarity I've been getting with Lagers. It takes longer to clarify and the traub is about 2X with...
I'm a brew in the bag convert. I had a beautiful Mash Tun and made fantastic all grain beers. I bought a huge nylon bag from Austinhomebrew and am now mashing in my 11gallon brew pot over the burner with 80% efficiency. I did a protein mash for the first time on this Belgian Wit and it made...
Thanks for the advise. It might be sulfur. The last wits I allowed to finish warm and then conditioned better. I just brewed this 2 weeks ago. Maybe it needs to "de-poo" by ageing a little.
I'm still going to drink it dammit. poo or no poo
I've brewed at least 50 batches without any contamination including a couple wits. However my latest Wit has a hint of poo. Anyone else have this in any of their beers? I drank about a liter of it tonight and I'm still alive. The color, and clarity and flavor is still OK. Just the smell is...
