The pressure regulator needs to be set at the correct pressure (based on temp at time) for when you are actually carbonating the beer. Once you cool to serving temps you will have to reduce the pressure for your tap and line length. It take my beer about 1.5 weeks or more to passively...

Watch out... taxes are very high up here and cost of living is as bad or worse than even LA.... Then you can not get good access to parts or good beer! I am an X Newport Beacher who lives north of Toronto by 1 hour. This place makes SOCAL look cost effective...

I do a 10 minute re circulation after I stir for about 1 minute and have above average efficiency. If you can not recirc I would advise a good long stir then a wait, then a vorlauf. Cheers

OOOOO Canada..... then the French part.....

Well the Kal kit and the Brewmaster Control system end up with the similar functionality but have many huge differences. The Brewmaster system comes completely assembled and tested ready for 50A service, the Kal version is 2700 USD ordered ready to run. Second, the Brewmaster is software...

Welcome new guy. Not sure where in Ontario you are from but check out our local brewing club up here in Barrie, Ontario. Simcoe Muskoka Homebrewers Cheers

In BeerSmith go to tools then click on boil off tool. Here you can play with the various outcomes you can have based on the starting volume. More beer correct gravity, correct volume, wrong gravity. Also since you are having some issues take a look at the dilution tool. Knowing that is there...

To get to 1.100 you will have to boil off 1.64 gallons....but... that leaves you with 2.75 gallons I think. Or to get to 2.5 gallons you will end up with 1.110 wort. It is impossible for me to calculate your boil off rate or know it so I would recommend starting the boil and trying to...

I started off as a student in an engineering school. Junior design project was a nano, senior design project was a revision to the nano brewery, then 15 years later I am still brewing. I just launched www.brewmastercontrols.com producing ready to brew out of the box HERMS and RIMS controllers...

Have a look at www.brewmastercontrols.com also. HERMS and RIMS systems ready out of the box.

To help we need to know a gravity reading and temperature right now. Else we do not know how much to boil off to hit your target gravity or if you can even make it. Send it and I can do the math quickly.

Yes. Use HERMS. Way less chance of a gotcha. I have had it happen using RIMS and thus went to HERMS.

Ill bet my next batch you will not notice a thing...

Hello from the Barrie Ontario area, just north of Toronto. A link to our brew club: http://www.facebook.com/SMHomebrewers Cheers

I have used the 820 in the past a few times. I am not sure what put me onto the bock lager but I believe it was one of the Jamil style podcasts or something. Since I have tried it I have not went back. My original recipe 10+ batches ago was based upon the information in Designing Great Beers...

Here is a link to the one I did this year for my birthday which is in October. I have done this recipe with small changes 10 times now year over year. This year was wonderful as usual and was gone from the keg before the end of October...

Just picked up a 50A "Spa Disconnect Panel" or "Panel De Desconexion Del Spa" at Home Depot in the Seattle area, the brand name is "midwest" and they use a duck for their logo. The SKU is 84567 20655 on the box, and I would think this is the same anywhere. I will post a few pictures on my...

Hey I live in Canada but visit Wales every 2-3 weeks for work. Where do you live? I visit near Newport, Cwmbran if you know it.

HERMS is much more user friendly and less prone to gotchas on brew day. HERMS +1 in my opinion. See my link below and read the 6 pages. Photos included... I think you will understand HERMS better after that.

I am not sure your setup. Assuming you are boiling in a keg conversion. I would guess if you made a heat ex changer that was wrapped on the outside of the boil kettle (not in the liquid) your theory would work out. You would get enough heat transfer from this to get what you want in the HLT...
