I'm playing with numbers here and .75 @ 45 (4%) and .25 @ 15 (4%) yield 6.3 IBU which does not seem like enough. Were I to add .2 of Magnum @ 45 (12%) with the first addition of Hallertau, my IBUs go up to 10.18. Help? Do I need more than 6.3 for a traditional Bavarian Hefe? Will the...

Fair enough, I'm a fan of my NW Pales and IPAs too! I'll save it for another day!

Ha, read you loud and clear, I thought I was going crazy there for a sec. Any idea on a suitable addition of the Magnum?

3 oz of magnum at 60 minutes? That seems like a lot for a hefe...

Guys, Brewing Ed's Bavarian Hefe first thing tomorrow: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f70/bee-cave-brewery-bavarian-hefeweizen-35679/ Picked up an ounce of Hallertau pellets, recipe calls for 0.75 @ 45 and 0.25 at 15 ideal range 10-13 IBU for the recipe. Got home from the LHBS and...

Just to ease the minds of my fellow homebrewtalk friends, we did not burn down the neighbourhood, quite the opposite in fact. There was no scorching issues whatsoever and we were able to get up to strike temps in about 40 minutes from cold start. While there were no issues with scorching...

As we have only tested an all-out burn for 15 minutes, our findings are inconclusive. However, during the 15 minute burn, we were able to bring a small volume of water to a vigorous boil and exerience no fatigue/excessive hotness to the tubing. Additionally, the wooden frame was not affected...

WCH, If you need anything, just PM me! Cheers, G

Excellent feedback. I am new to recipe formulation so this is really helpful! Thanks for the insight Yooper!! Might give your recipe a try!! Just an additional note, the volume calculator from the software for mash/sparge water look correct? Thanks, G

The size of the rig, from the base to where the kegs sit is 30". It's nice that our mash tun, which is the center vessel, is only a 50L keg so we've got plenty of room to look over. Did some more finishing touches last night...calibrated sight glasses and plumbed the line to our plate...

I actually wanted it to be a little bit on the amber side. Is 13 SRM too dark? Could I substitute something different to get away from the sweetness?

Hey all, Just got our all grain rig up and running and we're planning on brewing an American Pale Ale this weekend. I've been using Homebrew Formulator and it's working pretty well for me. I just wanted to post the recipe and get some feedback on anything that may look out of place...

We installed our brewmometers and sight glasses tonight and did a full process dry run with water. No leaks, and better yet, the pump worked flawlessly in the vertical orientation. Just needed to open both inlet and outlet valves and wait a few seconds before turning on the pump! Here's some...

Steve - Thanks for the props, we were inspired by your original to produce our own! That, and we have no welding skills between us. For the burners, we're using 70k BTU burners from AgriSupply: http://www.agrisupply.com/burner-cast-low-presure-multi-hole-/p/40282/cn/5400001/ We kept...

Here she is:

Thanks for the questions JTrainer! To start with, I did some research on the forum with respect to March pump inlet/outlet orientation. I found that there were cases where the inlet was above the outlet and there were no issues with priming so long as the valve off the outlet was also...

The wooden rig is near completion and I wanted to post up a few new pictures to track our progress to date. I'd started this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/got-wood-189818/ but was unable to change the post title to reflect the addition of...PICTURES!! From the last post, we've...

Well, some updates and pictures: Fittings are all Swagelok, Valves are OHV, and one March pump. We're making steady progress and hope to have the rig up and firing before the end of the month. We had a scare with our pump, snapping the threads half off on one...

The old Brass v. Stainless Steel conundrum. Until yesterday, we were planning on plumbing our single tier HERMS with 100% copper tubing and Swagelok Brass fittings. Can someone please put my mind at rest on the whole lead contamination thing? Temperature has also got me thinking...what...
