Ha! No it use to be an office! Life is good

So I have been working on my home brewery and I am finally about to take it on it’s maiden voyage. I have been brewing for ten years and went from stove top to a complete three tier setup. I got divorced and brewing was put on the back burner until recently. I live in a large farm house and I...

May be a little tight for your mash tun. If you want to do bigger beers with large grain bills

For me and the lagers I have a glycol chiller and my brite tanks are setup to be hooked up to my chiller. So I can do a closed transfer from fermentor to brite tank. I can then can manage the temps.

Thanks!

Thank You

So I finally have a setup where I have complete temp control. I am dipping my toes into lagers. I have a chronical fermentor and brite tank. My question is around the process. I understand you ferment for 2-3 weeks raise temp to do a diacetyl rest. Then drop to lagering temps. First question...

Thanks for all the information. I will move to a glass carboy after primary is done. Thanks again.

Thank you!

I looked at this as well and it is a nice setup for sure. I compared it to the SS Brewtech 7 gall BME conical with the cooling and heating package. The GF is $799 and the SS Brewtech is $769 so the money is close. I went with the SS Brewtech myself but it was more that I was ready to buy a...

Hey All, I am a brewer and I have a decent setup but have never made mead. I have a couple of stainless steel 3.5 gallon buckets by ss brewtech I was going to ferment a batch of mead in. They have a cone bottom (not a full on conical but close) Is there any issues in using them to ferment in...

My grandfather always said "only the rich can afford poor quality". Has always stuck with me.

Thanks You

Are tri-clamps fairly universal? I am putting together my home brewery and I have the Brau system coming. I am going to order either SS Brewtech or Spike Brewing Uni tank. I am leaning towards the SS Brewtech because I am ordering their Glycol Chiller as well. Anyway all three are set with...

Also, don't dump the beer. Keep for a few more weeks at least. Is there someone you can brew with as well I find having other brewers around gives me perspective on things in my process.

Just an FYI Pumpkin doesn't add any real flavor. So doubling the actual pumpkin may not be needed.

Using a pint glass and assuming you use a short tap handle 13-14 inches

My concern will you have enough room for the facet glass and any tap handles. I love the idea but I would measure to make sure.

It's not from old yeast. The reason you don't use old yeast is because it may not have enough active bodies to ferment the beer. You used a starter and it sounds like it fermented fine so the yeasts age is a non-factor. The problem with yeast if you continue to use the same strain over and over...

No I didn't.....my bad
