If your every down in the Vancouver area check out Heathen Brewing, there Transend IPA is really tasty and if your looking to have dinner, they have the Feral public house in downtown Vancouver.

My HLT is a 15 gal. kettle with a 5500w element controlled by a Auber Ezboil PID. I've considered recirculating the water in my HLT, but I don't know if it's necessary, because of the convection currents inside the kettle that circulate the hot water from the bottom to the top, you have too...

Yep, I'll agree withe the rest of of the boys. You need to control the temperature of the water that your Herms coil is setting in and then find the temperature difference needed to keep your mash at the disired temperature. On my system, with a 50' section of 1/2" stainless for the Herms coil...

1852.6 + 12 gallons of Saison 1864.6

Ordered, with a couple of your krausen catchers, the gaskets gave me a good reason to order them.

I used this setup on my mashtun to control my Sparge water pump, so the pump would shut off before the mashtun overfilled with the lid on. It's hooked up to a Leviton occupancy sensor power pack, so the float has 24v Dc going to it, that controls a 20a relay in the power pack. It would be...

You can also use a 13/16 or 7/8, carbide tipped hole cutter, they make a nice clean hole, and their quick, just watch out for hot shavings. I installed a spincycle whirlpool arm from Bobby in my 30 gal. Spike kettle, and it came out looking clean, only advice I would give is if your installing...

Then go find yourself a 20gal. keggle! Don't worry I already googled it, there's no such thing. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. My mashtun works for me, and if you think that it's foolish for buying it, then I guess I'm a fool. You know your starting to pissing me off, so...

I did mine a little different, I've got a 30 amp circuit for my HERMS HLT with a 5500w element and switching for my pumps, and am in the process of building a separate control panel for my BK that will be fed with a 50 amp circuit that will control a 5500w and a 4500w element in my 30 gal. BK...

I think you missed the point. I purchased the 20gal. SS mashtun and accessory heater with the hopes of maintaining mash temps in my garage in the PNW, I don't live in LA or Phoenix, and I brew year round in my garage. The Ss mashtun w/ heater wouldn't maintain temp. It's a very nice mashtun...

The problem is, bigger is always better. I started off thinking 5-10 gallons and ended up with a setup that can handle 20 gal. batches. I like 20 gal. batches if I'm going to make a lagers or anyother beer that's going to tie up my fermentation chamber for a few more months, also if you want...

I didn't originally plan on the HERMs setup until after finding the limitation of this mashtun and heating pad, I wanted more consistent mash temps, and the ability to raise mash temps and do a proper mash in and protein rest with some recipes.

Preheating that beast is definitely a must, but the best thing I did with my 20 gal SS mashtun was added a HERMS coil in my HTL and a pump to recirculate. Now I can not only maintain temperature, but step mashing is a slow possibility, with a 50' SS HERMS coil and a 5500 watt element in my HTL...

Size and wattage, putting 10,000 watts into a 30 gallon kettle with water heater elements is easily done, I can't say the same about an induction burner. Also an induction burner, I think would be like using propane for heating Your wort, your heating the pot bottom and the pot transfers the...

You know what might work instead of using a glass mason jar? How many are us home brewers have a stainless steel Hydroflask growler, or any of the other knockoff stainless 1/2 gallon containers, it's a different lid size, but it might be viable design option to make an all stainless version?

I use (2) 15w Carboy heat belts inside of a 9cf chest freezer. The freezer and the two heat belts are controlled by an stc1000, they reside in my 40f garage and the two heat belts have no problems maintaining temperature.

Jay, how many stainless steel scrubbies does it take to fill the 1/2 gallon Masson jar, and anyone have any good ideas on cleaning and sanitizing those scrubbies after use to get the gunk outa them? Anyone try baking in the oven after use?

Jelly of the Month, the gift that keeps on giving, year round!

22 gallons of milk stout

One word, Tequiza! Makes me shiver just thinking about it, that stuff was nasty.
