I've seen other topics but haven't seen a straight forward answer. How reliable is a standard top freezer/bottom fridge for fermenting? I currently use a chest freezer with an inkbird controller that has been really reliable for maintaining temps. Thing is i want to upgrade my keezer to...

Take your time and search the market on this site and Craigslist and all that. There are a lot of good deals if you stay patient and collect little by little. For my setup i found everything used in good condition except for the tubing and small fittings and it only took about a month or two

I've recently been having that same feeling and I love it! I still have to make adjustments and all that during brew day to keep me busy but there is no more panic mode when i think I forgot something or anything. Just going at a nice pace walking instead of running around and just relaxed...

Do you have the regulator cranked all the way up? When I was using propane I had the same issue at first. Once you get the boil going bring it down some you don't really need a heavy boil just enough to maintain a steady boil. My issue was the slightest bit of wind kept throwing off my...

I tried messing with it and yeah the mash eff goes down when the brewhouse is adjusted. I'll just have to play with it otherwise just adjust brewhouse and not worry about mash eff. Mash eff is pretty consistent anyway

Didn't know about that calculation that makes sense then. Guess I'll have to go a little deeper into beersmith and get it tweaked properly

Yup started at 13.5 on the sight glass and ended with just under 12.5 after.. I check the reading as I am filling the fermenters. I fill the first one about half way and then fill up a glass and continue the rest into the fermenter. It's really weird my system is electric so the boils are...

Yeah Ill probably start changing the efficiency. I never really minded but it's become so consistent I just want to know a possible cause for this

Give or take a couple degrees yeah. Would a few degrees make that much of a difference? I'm using a refractometer btw

Just finished brewing and am getting a little annoyed with some efficiency issues. My past few brews including the one today I am able to hit my preboil OG spot on but I'm always 2-3 points short of my post boil OG. According to beersmith my preboil was 1.044 and post should be 1.049 with a...

Brewed this according to hannabrews recipe and while it's not an exact pseudo sue clone I am enjoying this one more. I used all golden promise and didn't tone down the honey malt, but I've gone through probably half a keg of the homebrew and only 3 out of the 4 commercial cans I bought. Great...

Ok thanks!!

My plastic mash paddle isn't doing the job anymore since I upgraded to 10 gallon batches so looking to upgrade to a hard maple paddle or rake.

Going to brew this Friday is there a reason for the 90 min boil or will a 60 min boil be okay?
