I think what eric19312 says is key. I dont know that you will find a truly zero carb beer recipe as carbs are inherent to the process , you will just have to limit your beer (and thus carb) intake and account for the carbs in your macros.

Looks like a fine system. Exactly what I would have ended up with if I had not pieced my together in the way I did.

Also took my BH RIMS system for a couple of test drives last night. Was thrilled with the performance. First stop was to brew. I did a simple brew of a nut brouwn ale (Moose Drool clone). Performed really well and totally as expected. I did run into a snag about half way through the mash...

Sure. When the wort first got to a boil and I started the condenser, I got 100% steam capture. I also noticed that the drain water was still fairly cool. As the condenser ran for a while and things started to heat up, I felt and the water had warmed considerably, and there was a small amount...

The Steam Slayer has worked well. I also just bought a RIMS system from you as well. Have already tested with water and it worked great. Plan to use it on a brew Friday and some Sous Vide saturday!

well played...

Looking for some things to take my brewing to the "next level". I currently do not check or control either of these. The beer has been pretty good, but have not strayed into the more specialized styles (lagers, sours, belgians, etc.). How important are these and where should I look for more...

Update on the steam slayer after my first use: Worked great! I did notice that the steam was not fully condensing after the system ran for a while. It did drastically cut down on the amount of humidity in the room. I have a small brew room and the RH meter didnt budge throughout the entire...

I do BIAB rims so I would sell the 8 gallon pot and use the proceeds for a good basket or bag :D Not sure why you would use the cooler at all. Seems like you can mash/recirculate in the 16 gal and then transfer to the 8 for the boil. Are you trying to do 3 vessel?

Okay, getting back into brewing from about 18 months off. first batch went reasonably okay until I got to transferring my cooled wort to the fermenter. I noticed it was VERY foamy. LIke way foamier than I have ever seen. I thought "oh crap, I left starsan in there" then remembered , no, the...

Very nice. Can wait to see it ready to brew! Looks like the perfect amount of space!

Must be in the weather, I too am getting back in the saddle after ~18months off. Doing a few system upgrades and enjoying it. I like the tinkering almost as much as the beer!

Depends which way you to with your process. That pot would make a really good BIAB rig that would handle high gravity as well as large batches.

The lines are all of similar age. I noticed it mostly on the exterior of all the lines, but the interior of the gas lines. I am assuming that whatever is in there is in the beer in the beer lines. I had taken to tossing the first pour. Since this post, I have stripped the entire system and...

Just pulled the trigger on a Brewhardware.com RIMS setup for my eBIAB system. I boil with an induction burner, but this will give me feedback control for mashing. I dont do a lot of stepped mashes, but even if I do, I would not need to automate the entire process. After that, I hope to get...

Original fermentasaurus for sale. Never used except to check with water. Does not include the pressurization kit. Lists for ~$120 new. Selling for $75 + shipping (its pretty light). Let me know if you are interested.

Speaking from 10gal batch experience, I would second the 20gal pot "requirement". It would be tough to fit even modest gravity beers into a 15 gal kettle. Can be done, but make sure its level :)

First Impression: WOW I am getting back into brewing after about a year hiatus and what drew me back was the idea that I could address the vapor management issues I had been having with my new setup. Before my hiatus, I had moved operations into a nice, remodeled basement location and...

Lots of ways. Some will section off some of the mash water and use it for sparge. I have never sparged and always hit my gravity now that I account for it. Remember that brewing is much more about consistency and knowing your system rather than trying to get maximum efficiency. For a big pro...

Definitely no sparge. Keep in mind that many of the techniques that are used in all the different brew setups are more for absolute dial in. For instance, a couple % efficiency increase is equal to a few extra ounces of grain. The simplicity of no sparge would at most cost a few cents per batch.
