Right, The first pour tends be pretty foamy, but then the only problem I had was when someone got overly aggressive with with the CO2 charger. I will say also, the two times I have used it, they were English Pale Ales on little lower side of carbonation. I have not tried it with a hefe or...

I have this from Bobby https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/faucetadapter.htm And did not notice too much trouble with the triggered CO2 charger for a portable keg. To be honest, I like it better than using the 3' of tubing with a party tap because I didn't have to deal with the hose and...

I'm using a Google Voice Kit and CraftbeerPi in the new control panel

Ha! It has to all work first! (and at that, I hope it adds some fun to the brew day and doesn't end up too gimicky)

My current 2V system - in the process of converting the kettle from propane to electric, and as much on voice control as I can.

you can get a slight oil film from starsan, and that coupled with the oils that RPh points out, it's easy to see your situation

Do you use StarSan?

I have one of these taped to the wall of my fermentation chamber and it heats the space just fine - connected to an STC-1000 (I use a small chest freezer as my chamber) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TP9MLFE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Little over a week ago I did the largest brew I have ever done. 31# grain and 10gal strike water in my 15.5gal mash tun. But it was pretty full.

The option I'd probably go with is turn the 15gal into the mash tun. I'm guessing that it is tri-clad, so you wouldn't be able to do a bottom drain (the feature of the InfuSsion that I think is beneficial). I would then pair that with a RIMS set up - using a 5500W or 4500W element (or cartridge...

I would have left it classy :cask:

The likely outcome? Higher alcohol and potentially perceived sweetness. It's not exactly a bitter style, so if you started towards the high end of the bitterness range, you may even be ok. If I were in your shoes, I'd just let it be, and enjoy a little extra kick when enjoying it with holiday...

At the dosage for treating water it should not impact sour brewing

Yes, that should work just fine. FWIW, I use the potassium tablets.

For $1.50 for the camden, it may be worth a try - chloramine is still difficult to remove with carbon filters, even at an extremely low flow rate.

If the coil ports on the kettle in a high+low configuration, liquid should drain via gravity nicely. Then you should be able to run your same CIP process as your immersion chiller. The SS coil should be just as easy to clean as the kettle then, at least in my hypothesis.

Maybe I missed it, but what is your water source? You list salts, but if it's tap water and you aren't using campden to break chlorine/chloromine, I wonder if that is what you are tasting as the off flavor.

Bobby beat me to it - but that's exactly why I want to switch from the Chugger I have to the smaller DC pump. To the left on this image you can see how I mounted the tan pump to mash tun for my "iRIMS" and then the Chugger was whirlpooling during the shot. If it was mounted to the kettle in...

Like others have mentioned, very thankful for my family who let me enjoy this hobby. For brewing, I'm thankful for all of those who have shared knowledge and techniques for fermentation control - I still believe this has had the largest positive impact on my brewing.

I haven't had much for clogging issues, but I did break one of the pump heads. That is part of one of the advantages I see in the TD5 - the head is close to the size of the March/Chugger - and you can still mount it like the tan pumps. Although I have brewed with someone who has a Riptide -...
