lindastops, I have the 240V BrewEasy Classic 10gal system and it is working well for me. The video by DanaM (above) is great and FYI, Brad Smith from Beersmith also uses a BrewEasy. Both of them have helped me with the system. I ended up documenting my mashing process and also keep stats that...

Gorgeous hops! I have hop envy! I’m too far south to grow them here in Georgia unfortunately. I just read through the whole thread and will make a variation of this today. I like the single hop focus and will probably go with Vic Secret as I have a bunch on hand. Thanks for putting this...

Thanks for sharing this—lots of great info on mash pH on that site. My Hanna pH meter has not been as durable as his. After replacing two probes I bought a cheaper one for less than the replacement probe. After reading the details on elelctricbrewery, I may bring the Hanna back into service...

I‘ve been using a ladle to get a scoop of grain and wort from the top of the mash. Cool it on an ice pack and check ph when temp falls below 30 degrees centigrade. I experimented with wort vs grain and wort and there was a difference but I don’t recall how much. I have been using acidulated...

Thanks—will do!

Above questions were primarily for k-daddy, but any responses are welcome.

Question on your post fermentation dry hopping: I assume there are no issues with oxygen introduction at this stage? I added dry hops after about three days of active fermentation knowing any added oxygen would be consumed in the ongoing/continued fermentation. I plan to try CO2 injection on...

First time joining this thread, but have already learned a lot, so my thanks to all the contributors. I gave up the NEIPA quest after having weak hop presence and oxidation issues. I gave it a renewed effort with first time true CO2 purge and closed transfer. Resulting beer is below and it is by...

Iglord, I have the 10 gallon Brew Easy and the believe the compact/vertical design would work well for you based on your available kitchen space. It rolls easily on the Blichmann platform, so would be suitable for movement when not brewing. In our previous house, I used an 20 foot 220 volt...

I read your entire build—it is incredible. The glass rinser is a really neat addition. The electronics are over the top impressive as is the woodworking. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing build and am impressive array of talents between woodworking, electronics, and brewing science.

Thanks Konadog and day tripper. Are there other options besides reusing the hinges on the keezer top? I recall one build with cantilever/lift hinges something like this: Seems like this would be a good option with a tower build.

What I’m considering is a 7 to 8 foot long bar/keezer with a tower in the center. Probably put it on casters so I can move/shift it in the room. Bar stools on one side, pour beer from the other side. With a beer tower, seems like it would be advantageous to have it fixed versus on the lid to...

My thanks to the OP for starting this thread. Any advice building a keezer tower? Any issues when raising the lid, hose routing, cooling, etc? Could/should you place the tower over the compressor hump, perhaps with a split lid? It also seems most builds are placed on a wall. I’m considering a...

I'm a long time brewer in the DC area who finally joined Homebrewtalk. I have benefitted greatly from this site and intend to be a more active participant in the future. My thanks to all who provided innovative equipment ideas--I've certainly stolen many of them. Currently enjoying a rye IPA as...
