Happy to lend a hand or advice. I’m in Sellwood

Hi all - I’ve been reading through the thread and while I’m interested in moving platforms, it is a bit overwhelming for me. I’m wondering if anyone has replaced a Pi 3b+ running CBPI 3 in a Hosehead 5 BC to an ESP 32 running brucontrol. It seems like a fairly easy switch, but I don’t know what...

I’m really trying to dial things in w the brite tank to avoid the need for this altogether. But it’s about what we’ve been doing. It’s about time to bite the bullet and buy a zahm

Short answer is yes as I’ve been doing it. But the lack of headspace in sankes in general could make it slightly more difficult

Yes. I did a 1bbl batch and used 10oz of citra lupomax in the dry hop. I’m very impressed this far. The recipe called for 1 lb of citra, so I used approximately 60% and it was spot on. Super aromatic.

Sorry I was not clear. It’s great for 10-15 gallons. But it has struggled with 31+ in terms oof how long it takes I do recommend it for the smaller sizes.

I thought of a new idea. What if I combine the two I already have? The cycl is great for knocking down the temp for hop stands. I could recirculate during hop stands, cooling or not. When done with hop stand, or when I’m down to a certain temp, Place the return hose into a hop spider to catch...

I can’t stomach the cost for a real one right now. We need to buy more kegs first!

The Brutus is on my radar for sure. My ground water is 60 or so. Any idea on cooling times for 1 bbl sizes?

I actually like it but just won’t cut it for 1 bbl. 10 was good though

Hi all - I’m looking for some ideas for chilling large batches. I’ve been using the cyclone from Jaded for 10 gallons but it’s slow and wasteful for 1 bbl. I borrowed a plate chiller but it clogs easily and seems slow too. I may be using it wrong..... I’d like to find something easy to...

I can. Pm me

It is indeed a tough market! Compass Brewing PDX is now (as of July 1) OLCC licensed production brewery based in Sellwood. We are working through some test batches now and hope to have some taps in a couple of places before the end of the summer. I’ll be sure and update you when we get the...

It’s not a 1:1. I am assuming 40% “stronger” as my first trial. First sample out of the brite tank a few mins ago is leading me to think it’s maybe stronger. As soon as I get it on tap I’ll have a better sense

I’m racking from brite to kegs tho weekend on a batch using 12oz Citra lupomax in the DH. This is in a 1 bbl batch. I’ll update after sampling.

I’ve used it quite a bit and agree with Denny - it brings something different to the table. And for 5-10 gallon batches it is certainly worth the money. But on the flip side, as I’m now venturing into a commercial endeavor, I don’t see how it makes sense even at the 1bbl scale. My base malt...

Lol. That got cut off somehow. We just got our OLCC license on July 1, so we are ramping up production commercially.

Hey Bobby - first thanks for all the great products. Many of the items I’ve gotten from you are still in constant use. to answer your

Hi all. I was considering upgrading my electric service in my garage to accommodate a 4 element system in which all 4 elements could be on at the same time. Then I got to thinking, what’s the point? Even in a back to back situation, it would not be necessary for all 4 to be on at the same...

I did for the longest time, but it’s hard to continue using a product that has zero support. I moved to BeerSmith.
