Not exactly a full drink, still needs a cold crash and it is at ~69*F at the moment. But it is beer and I never waste a sample! Tasty HB 6.5% IPA.

Final update: just got home from vacation and the first thing I did was grab a sample of this beer. Strong grapefruit aroma and an awesome tropical hop flavor. Currently at about 1.014 SG with temp correction, making this beer at about 6.6% ABV. Perfect for what I was looking for. Thanks again...

I have one of these too, which also took me entirely too long to get. Another good addition is the quick disconnects for the hose and the QD mate on the IC, faucet/sprayer, etc. then I can go from washing with the hose, to connecting to the IC, and back to spraying down other things (kettle...

This is what I currently do. I’m a fan of the technique because it works. But as I was ripping the bag while holding it in the air, and every time I heard the paddle clink against the thermowell of my MLT I wondered what else is out there / what others do. I think I will try underletting just to...

I had a similar issue once with a session IPA. As others noted- hop material was clogging the poppet in the post. I cleaned it out, tried and had similar issues. When I took the liquid post back off it had more junk in it. Read some things and ended up taking the dip tube out, cleaning it out...

Wow, that is interesting. Like I said in my previous post- I have been getting a message pop up regarding shipping due to items not being available. But that’s been recent and the first couple of times I thought “don’t they usually just do two shipments... I don’t remember this happening...

I usually get a pop-up on the last page (where you would put in promo codes) that warns of the change in shipping time. I’ve never had an issue with morebeer, I’m guessing their customer service will be good to ya if you reach out. Realistically I’d say the yeast is probably going to be fine...

Went on a tour and grabbed some “souvenirs” from Cayman Islands Brewery.

Never tried underletting. Maybe I’ll do a trial using that method. In fact I already pump water from the BK through the outlet of the MLT anyhow, the MLT is usually empty tho.

Yup. Overthinking it for sure. I always add water first, make sure it is at mash in temperature, doesn’t take long to dump and stir. Probably could just eliminate the back and forth to just dump the whole lot and stir after. I think it’ll make me feel better now that I have my own mill and will...

To the all grain brewers out there doing traditional MLT mashes: I looked around on here for a couple hours and didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, excuse me if you know of a thread, feel free to post a link. I may be over thinking (read- over engineering) it, as with most things in my...

I’ve unfortunately always had a harder time with stepped bits (maybe I am just always rushing). I ended up with a carbide hole saw bit made for drilling metal. No clue as to how many holes I’ll get drilled before the thing dulls, but I’ve done at least a couple with great success. In fact I...

I completely agree this would be a major turn-off for anyone. Just hope everything works out for you and they make it right. My addition to this thread is just to add to the positive support for this company, and to suggest, in my experience, it is not their normal mode of operation. Good luck!

3,107 +10 Chocolate Stout +10 Citra IPA ________________________ 3,127 Gals

+1 on Bar Keepers Friend. Work it to a paste, sometimes I think it works best after letting I sit for a minute after making a paste. Also weiman stainless steel cleaner (I use the wipes) clean / polish my appliances well. Probably a good last step if you want to give that a try. But like I...

I also purchased a HERMS coil a while ago with all the necessary fittings to add it into a kettle. Everything showed up as expected and has been working great for me. Hopefully he is just on a long vacation or something.

Yep I thought about this route as it is a simple option, but as you said doing the glycol unit affords me the ability to do multiple conicals in the future. I also know there is always a debate on space (which one takes up more room). In my case the CF10 has a place in the garage and the...

I’m on island time. Tastes more like a lager than an ale and not very hop forward. But I’ll take it.

After purchasing my CF10 and wondering how i was going to handle it (ie temp control is easiest in the basement, but filling and cleaning would be easiest in the garage, etc) I did a ton of research. I actually ran across your thread. That helped me decide I had to do a glycol chiller build to...
