I'll start beacuse I think I have dementia setting in to be able to have 2 within a week. I do 15g batches in conicals. I have adopted a technique, using a sight glass chamber I attach to the 3" dump port at the bottom of my conical. Usually it makes for a no mess trub/yeast dump. I hook up the...

I have a Spike HERMs system and have been very happy to date. I have developed a mash schedule that works well for me. I was surprised to see the Spike website suggests a completely different method than what I was doing and I would like some opinions on the matter. I set my HLT maybe 5 degrees...

Old post but have a question about this. If your HLT is at strike temp, rather than mash temp, are you calculating strike temp using the total volume of water (HLT and mash) or are you just using the mash water. And if the latter, are you cooling down your HLT water by adding cold water prior to...

I have had between 74 and 79% with 1318, and that is with plenty of sugar and a mash at 152. I am trying to get 78-80% and will be using less sugar in the planned brew. It will be interesting to see what the 36 hour extra pitch will do. From what I have read it should not affect flavor much if...

I love the flavor profile of WY1318 but would like it to attenuate a bit more. Has anyone added a second higher attenuating yeast at say 36-48 hours after initial pitch with improved attenuation as the goal? If so, what yeast and how did it work out? I think I am going to use US-05 at 36 hours...

A canner. Oktober makes some nice ones.

Seamer purchased!!! I made my friends buy it! Good idea BeerMaverick! Got the 16oz one.

I set mine up a bit weird to keep the boil kettle from blasting my control box with steam. I have the mash tun to the left, boil in middle, and HLT to the right next to my garge sink. In the end does not seem to matter at all as long as your hoses are long enough.

Thank you for detailed post. How do those pump mounts work? Are you drilling a hole though table leg? I have not found a great pump mount solution as of yet as I also bought my own table and I do not weld.

How do you like the Oktober can seamer? I am thinking about getting one. Man this is a great thread. I have recently gottten back into brewing and bought a Spike 15g (30g kettles)complete system. I have brewed 2 batches on it and have achieved over 80% efficiency both times. I am very...
