So far I have brewed 30 gallons in 5 gallon batches. The best mash efficiency I have achieved is 68%. I need advice how to work my new brewery. Should I account for Mash tun dead space, and the amount of water inside the HERMs coil when determining the quantity of water in the mash? If I add...

0089 is the code used to get into the parameters such as Hy. I haven't adjusted any of these settings. Thank you for letting me know. Yes I have the Syl-2362 from Auber. I will lower it for my next brew tomorrow. 0001 is the code to enter the temperature settings. It is easy to change this...

I haven't messed with the 0089 settings much. Hy is currently set at 003.0. There are other issues, I have been trying to work on, so I haven't fine tuned the PIDs much. The 0001 settings are easy to access, and adjust for different temperature settings. I would recommend the Auber PIDs for...

The Auber's are easy to program. I can change the temp setting in just a few seconds. I have found that they turn the burner on when the measured temperature drops 4 degrees. It is accurate enough for what I use it for. So far I have brewed 30 gallons of beer. (5 gallon batches) everything...

I scrub the trub and hop dust from the coil in my Boil kettle.

I made vertical straps from 1/4" tubing, hammered flat. Then soldered to the coil. It stabilized the yo-yo effect. Then I mounted the coil (1/2" ID copper) in the HLT and Boil Kettle by using brass flared fittings. I use a toilet brush to scrub it, during cleanup time.

Very nice build.

How long would I have to ferment this beer at 53 F ? Thanks for the update.

What temperature and time would be needed for laugering this beer? Thanks for the update.

How did the Pyramid Hefe come out? I am thinking about trying this recipe sometime soon. Thank you.

Thank you, So far I have enjoyed brewing three batches. I have made a few improvements from each batch. I have yet to taste any yet. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer, if I can. Good luck on your build.

We brewed the Lagunita's IPA this past weekend. It was our first beer to brew on the new brew stand. Thank you for sharing the recipe. It is currently percolating in the fermenter. I will let you know how it turns out.

The only problem we had was the boil kettle drain got clogged by a hop sock. It took a while to pull it out. I definitely need to build a hop spider.

I finally brewed on the new brew stand today. Everything went well. We brewed the Lagunita's IPA clone. It took approximately 5 hours to brew 6 gallon batch. I have been trying to plug data into Beer Smith 2.0. Not sure about our BH efficiency. The dual HERMES coils worked great. From boil to...

Testing burner height and calculating dead space.

Bump

Thank you sir! I am actually tweaking the finishing touches on this machine. Adjusting the burners, calculating dead space etc. I appreciate all of the helpful advice and attaboys from HBT forums. First brewday will be 12/17.

Finally got the brewery home, and stored beneath the fermenter. All I have left before brewing is: •Making the hoses. •Wiring the pumps. •Mounting the sight glass tubes. Then calibrating the system begins First brew day in 2 weeks.

Installed False Bottom today The Mash Tun, and the HLT are ready. Tomorrow I should finish the boiler.
