    Yeah the editing thing was fixed a long time ago.

    If you need to ask these questions, you should probably hire (or at least consult with) an electrician.

    Brew Boss Systems

    In regards to the crashing there is a known issue with the newest brewboss app and Android 2.2. Darin is aware of the issue and is working toward a fix. I actually beta tested a fixed version today and had no crashes so I'd guess he is close to releasing it. If you email him I'm sure he'd let...

    The Mantis :: First Impressions of a New IC from JaDeD Brewing

    I never did more than dunking it in the bucket of hot discharge water after done cooling.

    While I'm posting I figured I'd share a few shots of my last brew day :)

    Brew Boss Systems

    Yes. But I don't think this is an issue specific to the COFI or Brew-Boss I'm pretty sure this is a thing with all BIAB methods. The wort is simply a lot cloudier than I was used to coming from a traditional 3-vessel system. It really concerned me when I first made the switch but I've since...

    The Mantis :: First Impressions of a New IC from JaDeD Brewing

    Here's a few pics. I paid around $125 + shipping but the custom legs and whirylbird were about $25 worth of that cost and would be easy to remove if you didnt want them. I also added the male camlock to the whirlpool attachment.

    I have the exact same pickup tube in my 20G kettle and it works great. I practically have the thing touching the bottom of the kettle and it hasn't clogged yet. Reduces my trub loss to like .25G instead of 1G and I dont have to tip anything. (mine is cut cleaner than @mcgimpkins though :) )

    The Mantis :: First Impressions of a New IC from JaDeD Brewing

    If you want one I'm actually looking to sell mine. It's the mantis with the whirly bird whirlpool attachments. I've upgraded to 10 & 15 gallon batches and looking to go counterflow. Probably only 15-20 batches on it. If interested I'll take some pics for you. It's been a great chiller and...

    Nitro question

    I don't use a diffusion stone. Just set it and forget it on the gas in post for about 10 days as masonsjax said above. Brewing 15g of a dry stout for mine tomorrow :)

    Brew Boss Systems

    I forgot to mention that I use an app on the tablet called AirDroid that allows me to connect to the tablet from my laptop wirelessly to transfer the STP files after I generate them with my generator page. Prepping for a 15g batch tomorrow so it was fresh on my mind :) I've got 15g of a...

    Maybe I could modify the step generator to generate a link to download the file. That way you could go right to the tablet to download it. Any interest? I don't have a Mac so I don't know if you'll be able to hook the tablet up to it to copy the file over. I would imagine you could.

    Nitro question

    I just got my nitro tap about 3 months ago so I am by no means an expert but I have done it both ways. Simply hook it up to the beer gas at like 35PSI and wait a few weeks or carb it first with CO2 to about 1.5 vols and then switch it to the beer gas and start pouring. I'm lazy so I tend to...

    Will wort chiller work below freezing?

    Yeah definitely remember to do that. Its not fun thawing your hose out in 5 gallon buckets of water to get the ice out of it. Don't ask how I know :)

    Gelatin vs cold crash

    I rarely use gelatin just because I'm lazy but I used to use it all the time. It will certainly speed up how long it takes for the beer to become clear but it will get just as clear by just waiting. I never used it on IPAs because I did feel it stripped some of the hop flavor.
