I enjoyed the days of 60/30/20/5/FO. Seemed so simple. The last IPA I made had a good 60, small FO, large whirlpool at 165⁰ for 20 minutes, and 2 dry hops. This is what I assume makes sense nowadays now that we know more about what happens to hops at various temperatures.

Got my email from Spike that it's about to ship and I just now ordered some ultraflo max. Gonna try the recommended .035" crush for my first brew and it's gonna be a german pilsner. So excited

I meant just two separate elements on two different circuits/outlets altogether. Only one of them being PID controlled (as you'd only need one on a PID)

I've been brewing 240v the last couple years and have another 240v system otw (spike solo) but I actually am kinda surprised there aren't more builds with 2 120v elements. (One pid controlled and one on/off). The dual 120v seems like it'd satisfy those who don't wanna mess with 240v and wanna...

Has anyone experimented with a coarser crush yet? Just for kicks I went back and looked at what Unibrau recommended for their setup, which is similar imo, and they say .039-.045 AND they claim it leads to higher efficiency due to better flow. I know I can just find out on my own, but my solo...

I was gonna go ahead and order this today and then they have a "warning" that it's only to be ordered for commercial brewing. Also they ship overnight UPS and those MFers have messed up overnight deliveries for me before. What's the deal?

I only have one fermenter and use an upright freezer which could fit a conical. It's great. I thought I would definitely NOT want another fermenter, but lately I've found myself wanting another one....

I have that same sink with a drainboard on the left side. I'm not sure if it's the same actual manufacturer, but it's the same measurements. I have 5 gallons of star san in the left side every brew day. (I have NO IDEA why so many guys are worried about star san cost- it's SO cheap!) I've...

Anyone know the part numbers for the orings in a blichmann spunding valve?

I've never had any luck using more than 3 or maybe 4 different hops max. Hope it turns out well. I dry hopped my golden promise/rye west coast ipa today. Love being able to do o2 free dry hops. Gonna do another in 3 days.

Are you posting from prison? Lol welcome

Where do you live? Wanna split a bottle?

EVERY system has "issues" or tradeoffs

Ordered mine a week ago. From what I've read it's not that hard to avoid. I plan to mill at suggested setting, dough in and stir it up well, turn off pump/heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes, and recirculate with a blichmann auto sparge. I also plan to split the flow between whirlpool and sparge...

I like spikes basket more than bags or the ss mesh basket on the clawhammer. I also don't care for clawhammers controller

I ended up ordering a 15 gallon solo to make 6 gallon batches. It seemed like the highest quality and is all non proprietary pieces.

Is that 2 120v elements? All weldless? How do you like brewing on it?

Dieletric grease and a spare L630 plug end as I've seen many people burn these up.

Keep at it biab. It's more fun than extract!
