    Corny level monitoring

    If using a scale set for lbs like a fish scale, the number of lbs would equal the number of remaining pints right? At least close enough to it. That seems simple enough. The tricky part would be finding a scale that doesn't turn off after a few minutes, or if you have the on/off button next...

    New bigger equipment: Stout Tanks

    Oh and propane! I did a 1 bbl batch, i used about 21 gal for strike water and about another 21 for sparge, being that it was my first time brewing with this stuff, I underestimated/forgot to take into consideration how much get the 65 gal mash tun would suck up, so the mash started around 125...

    New bigger equipment: Stout Tanks

    No offense taken by any mean. I would have the same question. I just always seem to find myself with no beer left, after going through all the work brewing up 5 or 10 gal and after sharing with so many friends and family, and having the guys over for the weekends, I typically find myself with a...

    Yea I could but the fermenter is about 40 or 50 feet away and I don't want to buy that much tubing, especially because I won't be brewing that often...if I were brewing every month then I would probably do it, but I won't need to/wouldn't be able to brew every month hah

    New bigger equipment: Stout Tanks

    Ha, yea, on my first brew (and only so far) I heated up 20-25 gal to 170 in with plenty of time to spare, maybe took roughly 30 min, can't remember what my temp was from the faucet. And while the strike water was being heated in the bk I measured out the sparge water into the HLT, so that way I...

    New bigger equipment: Stout Tanks

    It wouldn't pump through the hop rocket, I had 4 oz in it so maybe that was too much for it...without that in line it pumps perfectly through the trub filter and chiller. With the valve wide open it was chilling it down to about 90* so I had to back it down to get it cooler. I think next time...

    New bigger equipment: Stout Tanks

    Bingo...yeah, i guess it's not the typical sizing I batch sparge -heat strike water in bk -pump to mash tun and dough in -heat sparge water in bk -sparge from mash --> (through trub filter to keep any grain out) --> 40gal HLT -pump sparge water from bk to mash tun (vorlauf) and pump back to bk...

    Blichmann 20 gal boilermaker

    Yea, I have always used a banjo burner under it, there is a spot on the bottom that is kind of dark, maybe from a high flame or something, not sure. However, I did do about half of the brews on it using sort of a herms system (one of my other threads explains how I used a therminator to...

    Thanks Demon, and thanks for the clarification solo...although I did get kind of excited thinking somewhere was selling stuff that cheap that I had been missing all this time.
