I honestly have not noticed much foam at all

awesome thanks for keeping us updated

I had fermentation so crazy one night it blew off the lid so hard it opened the ferm chamber door. My ferm chamber was in the garage and at the time it was about 20F in the garage so the temp crashed overnight. Beer scored a 44 in a comp and was crazy delicious.

almost 100% its fine

after brew day, with breakfast at 7am

For sure, i'm just thinking how awesome it would be to heat the water up around 330 or so, have it mash in at 4, when I get home from work at like 5:15 the boil is just getting ready to start, would be slick. or do do the previous steps and have it ready to boil at 6am right when I get up, epic...

that is the plan

next brew day my plan is to heat strike water in the boil kettle then transfer into the mlt that already will be filled with grain, then run processes as normal. My hope is that I wont take a big efficiency loss and I will be able to prep the grain and water before brewing allowing me to do...

its not for me haha, using up some old parts, gonna just sell it.

if you can taste the wood, do wood age. if the drinker would not know and think the balck licorice flavor is malt then leave it there. put them where they taste like, not by how they are made or whats in them.

mad elf is fruit beer, specify base as belgian strong. Saison de buff is deffinatly spice herb vegi with base of saison.

to pump water? that isnt close food safe so you cant use it on beer. I use a sump pump to pump water in and out of my counterflow, i wouldnt get anything smaller than something like this to do the job.

why not buy bungs and use those instead of lids?

following, this look like they will work great. obviously stainless isn't as good at heat exchange as copper but i don't see how this can be worse that then stainless CFC chillers.

nah didn't stir. And yea, I would never build a no sparge system if I cared about efficiency haha. I'm happy with 70s. :mug:

yea no dead space, I don't sparge or squeeze so im assuming these are my main points of losses. Post boil i loose some to trub and chiller like everyone else but no more than a quart, but either way i'm talking mash efficiency.

fwiw, it took apart a 50a spa panel and just mounted the breaker in my control panel, you could do the same with multiple.

its a corona mill, so it just rips crap up, no traditional gap to measure. But yea it is fine, before I tightened it down my friend that fly sparges gets high 80s efficiency with its crush, and its even finer now.

75% efficiency with the sparge and the grain milled tighter haha, so not much gain at all. The grain kept getting stuck too. I will try again next brew with mill set to the same and just start off recirculating slower for a little bit and see if that helps. 70s might be as good as i can get with...
