After each batch when I rinse and clean the FF, for the last rinse I'll fill the FF with clean water. When I drain the rinse water, I make sure to open and close the ball valve several times as liquid and small sediment can get past the nylon bushings and into the interior of the ball valve...

Yes. That white wire is your common or neutral. Splice off that white wire and connect to terminal #2 on the STC per the diagram.

That's almost to purdy to use! Nice...

The down side of burst carbing is; Not enough time for beer to condition/blend/stablize. Not enough time for CO2 to completely dissolve into solution. Give it some time.

Thanks! They're fake slate (ceramic). The look without the flaking and porousness of natural slate/stone. I do spill one every once in a while... ;) That's some gorgeous old paneling. They don't make it like that anymore...

Here's some inspiration. Now get started! ;)

CLEAN-UP and trying to manage all the bits and pieces. And I didn't say bottling because I no longer do it... :D

Not sure why you want to by-pass the thermostat and build in the STC? Making a separate STC project box and just plugging the frig into the box is not only the simplest method but also make the STC portable/reusable on other set-ups. AND allow you to convert the frig back to a frig. Which is why...

And once you get all your rigid foam insulation installed, I found this stuff is great for sealing things up and adding a few more Rs.

Very cool tap handles. It's exciting stuff to finish the build and pull the first pint... You might want to consider getting some rare earth magnets and making a magnetic drip tray. It doesn't take very many drops of beer on concrete to start mold growing.

Brewing a pecan porter. 15 lbs grain bill with 5 gal RO strike water. Forgot to treat my RO strike water with calcium chloride prior to dough in. Remembered right as i got the grain stirred in to the MT so I treated the mash with 1 tsp and re-stirred for several minutes (needed to drop the mash...

Maybe I phrased the question wrong?? I'm not knocking this recipe. Nor was I trying to say it's not an exact clone as that doesn't matter to me. Was just looking for was some comments on the two different hop combos.

Good to know! I'll have to comb through your site. Looks fairly comprehensive...

LOL... That is awesome!

I do have a gram scale but; water building beginner me is... Thanks for the info!

I found another Fresh Squeezed clone recipe on AHA but instead of using Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo hop combo used in this recipe, the AHA recipe uses a Mosaic/Citra combo. For those that have tried the real thing &/or brewed this clone, what are your thoughts on the Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo combo...

Some good info here. I may push ahead with electric brewing after all... Thanks All!

No doubt. Plenty of red in this beer! If anything, it has a tendency to go a little dark so it can be hard to see some of that beautiful red. I tried to lighten up my last batch a bit with some minute adjustments - 2-row + .6%, Melanoiden + .2%, Caraaroma - .5%. The goal was to make the...

Dumb questions... I see everyone use 5 gal as a baseline for water additions, but we all know that we use 8-9 gal for a 5 gal batch of beer. Do you use the final finished beer volume to calculate/adjust water additions OR do you use the total water volume needed to calculate water...
