Ed Wort's Haus

Ok... You talked me into it... Beer poured and we are ramping up to mash out...

Thx! Appreciate the compliment on the system.. I can assure you there were many hours of design / redesign and fabricate / refabricate before it all finally came together... Back to the brew... I am going to extend out to a 90 minute mash.. Dont have anything to do today but this so I might as...

Would anyone think poorly of me if I had a beer at 10:45 am?

I wanted a little more fermentable wort on this batch so I dropped my mash temp back to 150f.. I find myself without any iodine today so I may extend the mash to 90 minutes just to make sure everybody is converted nicely.. Here is a pic of the flashy lights on the manual override control panel...

Here's a few pics for for the visually stimulated.. Tear off of the temp log.. The Mash in Full Swing.. 40 minutes left on the mash...

OK... Mashed in.. Temps right on the nose.. Beautiful thing about working with the BCS-460 and Beersmith.. Once you have your equipment profiles dialed in sticking the temps is a breeze.. On to the mash.. Only trick for the next few minutes is to carefully watch my RIMS flow rate and output to...

Ok.. We are good.. Gonna dump some grain..

Just gave the MLT a little power boost with the Herms Circuit.. HLT is holding dead on 180F, MLT is at 155 on it's way to a set point of 162.7.. Should take about 10 more minutes to hit set point then stabilize..

HLT up to 170, MLT at 125.. I've been asked a few times why I have both Herms and Rims circuits on this rig, the no-bs answer is that I couldn't decide and it was just as easy to do both as just one.. The fun part of having both is that I can swap over to HERMS at this point and create a much...

PGD outta the way and grain is crushed.. HLT at 120 , MLT at 100.. The MLT always lags the HLT because my RIMS circuit is only 2200w, while the HLT Element is 5500w.. Hops and Irish moss measured and ready... I'll be doing a 10 gallon batch today so I've got a pile of hops on my little table...

Alright... JT signing on... So today I will be doing an Ed Wort's Haus... The perfect beer for the scavenging neighbors.. Just turned over control of the brew rig to the BCS-460 and shee is just churning away heatin up the sparge water, strike water and mash tun.. Pile on the thread.. Lets...

I have that very same Northern Tool 135 Mig Gun.. I love it.. Yeah it has a short duty cycle but it is perfect for what I need to do around the house.. I have not tried to weld SS yet, but will in the future.. I am very happy with it's performance on steel, runs a great little bead.. Just make...

I wish I had room for 2 units... Would be nice to have a separate lagering fridge... Hmmm.. Where can I stick it?

Here is what I ended up doing.. Picked up a 21ft3 Up right Freezer, Slapped on a Temp Controller, Broke out the Mig Gun, and whipped me up a little shelf action... Browny Points for me!
