I use 1-15 amp circuit and 1-20 amp circuit for my brew house. I run a 2000w off the 20 amp and 1650w off the 15 amp. I have the 1650w element controlled by an inkbird ipb-16, and have this set up in both my hlt and bk. Works great. The 2000w is a stainless steel one off amazon for $28, and the...

I let the beer sit in the keg for a few weeks, and the off flavors have seem to gone away. Good tasting beer now.

I was concerned about moisture freezing and thawing the grains so I opted to put them into a sealed bucket before freezing to limit any moisture pick up from the freezer itself. After freezing them for a few days I pull the buckets and store like normal.

Get the inkbird the bayite is junk in comparison. The hor rod stick will aid in boiling too, and I doubt the sous vide will get up that high in temp. Could be wrong though.

Yeah, they were that 47 hops co deal. Maybe I will do a very thorough clean and sanitation and try em in one more batch.

They have lost their punch, and I'm getting grape or apple flavors, and almost no aroma.

Vac sealed and have been frozen as long as I have had them. I got them on sale at the beginning of this year.

So I have some hops from 2016, and I just did some ipas that were less than stellar in my book with them. I dont wanna throw them away, so what should I use them for. I have a few pounds of azzaca and centennial

Do you have a compressor delay set up on your temp controller? Maybe due to the heat it is cycling power too often.

I spray io star in my freezer section every few months to fight mold. This section rarely gets used, but my fridge is energy start rated and barely needs to run.

If you water heater is down stairs near the brew room you may consider a bib to run hot water and cold water directly to your system.

Use starsan or iodine instead, and one hose on both end to keep it in the cfc. Then you won't have to worry as it will stay sanitized until used.

Thaw it, and take a gravity sample. If it isnt finished repitch.

Lhbs or Amazon where other homebrew shops are vendors

If they have the coin, and you have the time, then just do it. You should be asking yourself what the cons are for you. Seems like an opportunity for something to me.

Just kegged a birthday beer for my buddy, and a copy of that recipe for me.

The real solution is to obtain a pump and recirculate your mash. Preferably through a heat exchanger in your hlt or kettle to help maintain stable mash temps.

If you have an immersion chiller you can run your wort from the tun to the pump to the chiller placed in kettle with hot water and back to the tun. This will keep the temps close to the same and should help keep temps stable. You can run the pump for the entire mash this way.

Well if you are recirculating your mash, then your temps should be stable enough despite head space. If you are not recirculating, then yes, you will lose heat from the larger head space.

I can fit 30 lbs of grain in my 15 gallon mash tun.
