    Cider filtration system

    Unless you have a centrifuge, mechanical filtration should be last.

    First brew BrewEasy+HighGravity Control

    I haven't done 5 gallons. I would assume it would be fine. The coil is about 5 gallons tall. You could get to strike temperature faster if you aren't recycling. I like to recycle while I'm heating. I use all RO water so I build my brew water while its recycling. and yes all the pots were...

    Going Electric

    I have the same controller. The dial on the side is probably the thing I use the most. If you have 15 gallons about to foam over you can get it under control in a hurry with the knob, then right back up after it breaks.

    First brew BrewEasy+HighGravity Control

    The only difference is the controller, and the stand. Just picked the high gravity one because it was cheaper. Saved about 400 bucks vs the blichmann controller. I've got about 20 brews through my system now, and it's been great. I have a lot less trub in the bottom of my fermentation...

    Window 10 Thumbs down:-(

    I'm not sure it's fair to give a thumbs down to new software on a 9 year old platform. Windows 10 works wonderfully, and is leaps and bounds better then 8/8.1 On a current system I would rate windows 10 as nearly as good as windows 7. The only bummer is the discontinuation of media center...

    What do you do to make money on the side?

    Firefighter. Training pays some extra overtime. Calls when I'm off site pay extra. Haven't had a call ruin a brew day yet, but I'm sure it's coming.

    Anyone here use FrogLube?

    I heated up and "seasoned" anything that was metal. I don't really think of froglube as lube, more of a coating on the metal of the gun. Then I use a really tiny amount on the metal slide tabs that are embedded in the plastic frame. I did the same thing on the ar15. I broke the bcg down and...

    Anyone here use FrogLube?

    I like it. I shoot mostly glocks, and they feel like the slide is on ball bearings. My AR-15 seems to like it also. I would make sure you don't get the paste to thick near firing pins and extractors. Other than that I've seen guys put a whole mess of the paste in a crock pot and give...

    For those of you using RO water

    I use a 35 gallon water storage tank from Tractor Supply company. I drilled a hole in it, and installed a float valve. It shuts off right at 30 gallons. I got it mounted on some of that heavy duty shelving from menards. It comes with a bulk head that accepts a 3/4 NPT plastic nipple and...

    Why does my LHBS make me feel like a noob?

    I've always taken a church approach to any conversation about technique, style, and preference. I nod my head and smile. To argue with any persons hobby gospel is folly. It's exactly the same for SWMBO, she trains Shepard's for IPO (sport protection, obedience, tracking). Everyone knows "the...

    Pros/Cons of BrewEasy Versus BIAB?

    Probably depends on what BIAB. Are you talking truly just a pot and a bag, or are you going to get a pump? What size batches do you want to do? How much money do you have? What are you really trying to accomplish? (repeatability / time savings / etc) Are you going electric or gas? Do you...

    Soot from propane burners

    Spiders....... Spiders love to hide in those orifices. Get some pipe cleaner and clean them out once in a while. The webs they spin in there will screw up the gas to air ratio. Depending on the style there can be little holes that draw air into the gas stream. If they are plugged it will...

    Interview for a job at a brewery

    As someone that interviews people frequently please refrain from the following. 1. The answer, "I'm a hard worker" should never leave your mouth. I assume your going to work or I wouldn't be interviewing you. 2. Please don't swear in the interview. It doesn't matter if the saltiest boot...
