Yessir, I was thinking overall, not just the blichmann comparison :mug:

There are quite a few megapots being by used by others around here, and I honestly think they are really nice kettles (puts my Bayou Classic to shame) and outside of a welded coupling I can't think of anything they really lack.

I wouldn't, it not really an acid based sanitizer like Star San that if effective as long as the ph is low enough.

Finished my mash paddle, cleaned fermenters, bump up the temp of the triple, mounted the new chiller to the brew stand.

If you are going to send him to this thread, I will add this: It's just two ways to get to the same result. I do both 3 vessel and BIAB brewing, and both are great processes to enjoy home brewing. Going with either method is not a "wrong choice" - that, IMHO, is not the correct message to send.

The interesting thing in that experiment was that the deviation from the calculated IBUs increased as the IBUs and gravity increased (from PA, to IPA, to IIPA). I hope there is a chance for us to do that experiment again, especially since I think we have found some potential impact variables...

Technically speaking, you were successful! Until fermentation it is flavored water ��

At the point you are at with not wanting to automate, I would look into fermentation control if you don't already have that.

I'd go for more in the house. I have a 190 out in my workshop and am thinking I might go for a bigger output there.

That's more in the dry Irish stout ballpark than chocolate stout.

Sorry to tell you, but that puppy is likely done. You can try warming it up, it won't hurt anything, but at 80% aa, it's probably ready to package.

it's the volume that the pump can not draw out

I shoot for 5.4 typically, that gives me an error of .1 either way that I feel I don't have to stress about. I'm at the point with adjusting water for mash ph where I'm trying to get a consistent result across multiple grain bills.

Add the dead space to the 12 liters, ideally that will cover your grain bed

Tile and cement board so you can just hose that sucker down. And make sure you have a strong wifi signal.

Are you getting low flow out of the keggle? I couldn't really tell but it looked like there was air in the tubing before the chiller.

This will be my first, I'm really excited to finally be able to attend

I don't think it gets treated well by a lot of distributors and liquor stores. At the brewery I was really surprised by fresh Boston lager, and they had an oyster stout that I actually enjoyed. It also goes to show that it's good there is variety, as people enjoy different tastes.

Welcome! SW Minneapolis here! I thought heard of this home con brew conference, its in somebody's garage, right?:D
