One of my first beers was a citra golden promise SMASH I did a lot of hop additions and it came out very good. I plan on doing it again at some point.

I have the cannular it’s pretty awesome. The only thing is you need to plan ahead to can I very often still just pour beer in a growler to take with me. This is because in order to properly can you have to break out the beer gun and then clean that too. I haven’t tried pouring it directly i to...

I just bought everything I need to set up bleed ports off of Amazon hoping they come in soon to test it all out before the next brew day. Thanks for the advice

I personally like some crystal in my NEIPA but at 5% or lower. My favorite neipa without looking it up is about 75% golden promise 2.5% C40 2.5% Munich 20% mix of flaked oats and flaked wheat that recipe paired with fruity hops is 👍🏻

It is all taken apart now so I could clean everything. There was not any clogging so it’s definitely air. I will take a picture during my next go at it. I definitely didn’t expect this part to be hard I thought everything would just flow. Damn you air!

No no bleed port I will have to look into that.

No it’s the red exchillerator even after I was done with the brew day I tried messing with it and still had a ton of trouble with it.

I had to bail out and use the immersion chiller today. I have not had much luck being successful with the CFC I keep running into this problem

Everything is open it just will not flow. I wanted to run the boiling wort through my CFC to sanantize it and nothing I do works I just don’t understand how it won’t come out.

So I’m currently brewing on my ss brewtech electric system and I cannot get wort to flow out of the kettle down to the pump it’s making me insane. This keeps happening and now I’m dealing with super hot liquid. I’ve been told it’s due to aid so how do I fix it and prevent it.

This is at least 10 minutes in I love the foam

I named it puppy love it’s a white chocolate and red velvet flavored golden stout

Until you have better control of fermentation temperature you won’t really know if you like your recipe or not. Fermentation temperature is extremely important. This recipe does look much better than the first one for my tastes I would use a little more crystal and some Munich.

I recently did a cheater version of a Pilsner with lutra yeast it came out crisp and super clear. Unfortunately I strayed from traditional hops and used motuka hoping to get a line flavor and really didn’t like it.

Definitely too much black patent. That grain is supposed to be used very sparingly. I like super smooth Stouts so to get them super black I use either midnight wheat or Cara 3 at less than 5%

I haven’t had a problem with grain getting through its much better then my old cheap all in one

If I used that crush my efficiency would be terrible that happened to me recently I was constantly dealing with stuck sparges so I went for a coarse grain and I was no where near my OG. Turned out the problems with the stuck sparge was my system the whole time. I would definitely hit it with a...

Well one thing is I’ve been having good efficiency even with the temperature problem. When you don’t recirculate until the end do you have good efficiencies? I will definitely try pre heating the tun. I was going to do that today but I really thought I’d be good with the strike temp I used but...

Yea you can not hit it with heat and I don’t have the rims set up. Starting to think it wasn’t worth the money.

Does anyone brew with the electric ss brewtech system and have temperature problems with the mash tun. I just switched to this system it’s 3 vessel with the 2v controller. My first brew on it I had to put boiled water in to get the temp up. This time around I did strike water of 170 with 10.5...
