Have you contacted Tim at Colorado Brewing concerning your issues? He ha.s always been very helpful to me...

You should also look at a newer company putting out quality lower priced systems, Colorado Brewing Systems!

Jay. I like your design but prefer a smaller valve. If you put a 3/8" half cuppler on the outside of the TC instead of the 1/2" nipple then I could get/attach one of these valves (Their dip tube not needed) and bam, Bobs you're uncle!

Fantastic upgrade! I upgrad d my pump from the 7gpm chugger to the 17 gpm chugger max. What a difference! The larger flow rate really moves the mash around. Just what you want with the all mesh basket. Probably would be bad with the solid side basket....

My controller was shipped on the 12th, got the email with tracking number yesterday, arrived today (California). Paired with my iPhone within 2 min. Will give it a try this weekend. So far so good. Hey inkbird, when will the zigbees be available and how much will they cost?

Mine goes down far enough for a 5 gal batch in my 20 gal system.

Did you throttle down the outlet side valve from the pump to slow down the recirculation?

I'm not sure with the current version. I have old version with a tri clover port near the top (see my pic). After mash I remove the recirculation arm, pull out the basket then return the recirculation arm. Tim would be more able to better answer your questions on the new system

Remember, starsan is a sanitizer not a cleaner. You MUST clean before you sanitize or you are wasting your time, that's what the PBW does. Boiling wort will kill anything that escapes the cleaning process. Starsan by its self will not save you from contamination.

Yes there is a recirculation port with a recirculation arm included. It will give you a nice whirlpool. As far as the plate chiller goes, I do not use a filter, I circulate PBW in reverse for 15-20 min as part of my cleaning practice after each brew day. Rinse with clean water in reverse and...

Here are a couple pics of my system

Brianccarr and Pretzelb I do 6 gal batches to yeld a full 5 gal finished beer or 11 gal to get 10. It just seemed to work out that way for me, YMMV. It appears to me that the pro system has more included parts and is definitely a much heavier duty stand. The control panel also has an added...

I've been using my 20 gal system since last year and have about 10 batches through it. I mill my grain about twice as fine as for a regular all grain batch. I have one of the early versions so there have been several upgrades since I got mine. I'll also say that Tim at Colorado Brewing has...

Pick me😜

FYI, Arbor Fab makes the baskets for both Utah biodiesel and Colorado Brewing systems. Great products!

Also recommend reading Farmhouse Ales. Lots of good info...

Much like 30bones, I pitch at 65-68 and let it free rise into the upper 70s. 3711 (French Saison) only needs 78-82 IMHO. Belle Saison only about 78 max. DuPont, on the other hand can benefit by temps up into mid 90s. If you have a room that stays in the mid to upper 60s just pitch it and let...

Fermenting with bottle dregs is not always straight forward as yeasts other than the primary may be us d for bottle conditioning. Try you recipe again and use Wyeast 3724 (DuPont). Make sure you use yeast nutrient and plenty of O2 as DuPont tends to stall around 3 days. If it does, don't...
