Never seen one in the wild. But beverage factory sells one new for about $6,000. Perlick HP24TO-4-2R-1 24" Signature Series Outdoor Beer Dispenser - Fully Integrated Door - Right Hinge | BeverageFactory.com https://share.google/eqm1xO9LphtB3lnlS You want might call them to source parts. Good luck.

Same experience. Not nearly as well, especially if you want to drink it quickly (no lagering) . But not terrible and improved with some fining if you like. Or give it the 4-6 weeks of lagering and it'll be terrific. A decent yeast especially if you need to ferment at higher temps than the...

Wow. Awesome. Thanks again.

I recall a time, not long ago when Spike was planning to borrow a bunch of money to build a new facility I think. 7-12 million of memory serves me (it often doesn't anymore. Hahaha). The deal did not go thru ... I believe. So, I feel like I am having a deja poo. (I've seen this sh#t before).

Thanks. Curious - I assume they only sell in sacks of grain (you can't buy 10-20 lbs for instance). How much was the bag of Carolina Gold or the dark Munich?

Are you getting your grain from Carolina Malt house? It is about an hour away from me but thought of picking up a few bags to check them out. I am curious - how was the experience? I heard lots of good stuff from brewers in Charlotte who work at craft breweries here.

Going to say the same thing. Drop the1 lb caro120. My Irish Reds are usually 13 SRM +/- (typical is 10-14 range) Also think the ABV is high for a Irish Red. Usually 4-5% ABV Barley flakes is often an ingredient in an Irish Red as well. Good luck.

If you are over 60.... Odds are ... You will die before the yeast does. Never do a term life policy on yeast.

Surprised the new company wasn't called "Spark". The idea was mixed by a marketing guy who had a prototype that had leaky glycol connections.

I made something like this, using a small freezer for fermentation. I made a small collar to run the lines (in my case, for the heater wrap and temp probe.) the collar also provided room to ferment under pressure with an oversized (6.5 g) corny keg. I would run the lines thru the collar. And...

If you are curious - here is the new business that Ben Caya is starting - a portable propane powered fire pit that can go on boats, camping trips etc. Called - Floating Flame Floating Flame | The Only Fire Pit For Boats! https://share.google/qZt3CPiG8APdDE9MJ

Just saw this on the Spike FB page. Ben is looking to sell Spike Brewing. Read the details here.

Yeah ... I was going say, the amount you added should be fine... I doubt you even notice. But if you really add way way way too much gypsum, you'll get some wort infused drywall.

The hectolitre size is wonderful. Like loose sweatpants after a massive meal. Lots of room to relax. Loving it so far. I will need to dial in my software but that shouldn't be too hard.

Taking the Brewzilla Gen 4 100 L (Fat Boy) on its virgin brew day. A modest sized 12 gallon batch with a little over 21 lb of grain and barley flakes. Couldn't use a bag so I am using the mash pipe on this go round. Gotta order a massive bag - 30 gallon wilser is on the to do list. Going...

On Wisconsin. Go Pack. Brew Crew & bucks. Don't get me started on beer. Welcome to HBT.

34/70 is my "go to". Also used novalager and liked it. Planning on seeing if I can do novalager at 68°F.

Gotta love a huge box coming in from brew hardware - in this case, a modded Brewzilla Gen 4 100 L beast. Around here, she's known as Fat Boy...it joins her little Brewzilla brother (35L w/extension) - Little Boy Brew. Currently getting a CIP cleaning with PBW, rinse and starsan. Then ...

HB Stout... Freshly tapped and delicious. Fresh nitro tank too. Whoa.

At the end... The HED will be covered in a cake of hops. It doesn't get everything, but don't sweat it. Just let those stray hop flakes go to the fermenter with the wort. It should foculate out with the "clean" yeast for your recipe.
