Hey man.....I have had no issues putting 3-4 full kegs in my bottom freezer kegerator. Might not be a bad idea to fit some plywood inside for additional support....I wouldn't slam any kegs down on top, but again, I have had no issues.

This is where I need to focus on. I'm rushing my mash.

Thanks all!

This may sound dumb, but what the hell. I find my IPAs finish 1.012-1.016 for the most parts and the yeast “does it’s job” meaning it’s attenuated within advertised range. I’ve used Chico, Kviek, Dry English (usually Omega), starters on stir plates, etc. low mash temps. So I guess my question...

Its still always either in heating or cooling mode. What about the hissing? I don’t have this issue with any other controllers I own. I’ve unplugged it.

I’ve been on the system for a few years...(this is year #4) I started with 16 gallons of water, and ended up with about 8.5 of good wort...that’s under 60% efficiency. Now, I have my Brew Bucket filled with 6.5 gallons, and other carboy has about 2 galllons off usable wort + 2 gallons of hop...

Having same issue here. Fired mine up yesterday for first time in a while, it's always in heating or cooling mode. I have mine heat diff @ 2, and my cooling at 10. Temp is set at 64. Heat should only go on at 61, and cooling at 75. Otherwise, "off". Last night, it was in heating mode for two...

Hi all- I'm still getting terrible BH efficiency with my BE, and it's driving me nuts at this point. -I have a significant amount of loss. Yesterday, I did a 10 gallon batch of IPA (1.072), and Brewer's Friend has me at 56% BH efficiency: -Conversion 79.5% -Pre Boil 78% -Ending kettle 75%...

Pump is about 8 inches below, but have never had issue prior to this. I’ve had it for 3 years. I didn’t use hop bags (i usually do and hop screen, and have hop blocker. I recirculated wort prior to sanitize chiller with no issues. Must be the hops. I’m more concerned with ****** conversion.

That's what I'm thinking- Chiller was clogged with hops. I disconnected it, and flushed out...No change.

My final brew of 2019 would be a NEIPA with some nice 2019 crops of hops (Warrior at 15, then big whirlpool of citra/mosaic/galaxy)...Was shooting for an OG of 1.074/1.076ish (8 gallon batch) -My mash conversion was super low after about an hour mash (1.040 (51% conversion), should have been...

Hi all- I sent their support an email, but its Sunday, and I got a brew in primary now, and using this temp controller for first time. Question: It seems the controller is always in either heating or cooling mode: Shouldn't everything be "off" if within range? If I have it set at 64, with a...

Thanks for the feedback....Yup. I've got the Spike CF10 with Temp control package, casters, racking arm, clear cap in cart now. Ooof. That's a lot of coin.

As of now, I have a 7G Brew Bucket (love it), and a 6.5G glass carboy. My system is a 10 gallon Blichmann Breweasy......I brew 7/10/12 gallon batches with it. Temp control is chest freezers (2). A 14G Spike/SS Brewtech conical with temp control would run me $900-$1000. For me, it doesn't make...

Hi...Yes. I drink a lot of Carton/Kane/Cape May beers here in NJ.....Was drinking a Carton 077xx the other day- Tons of orange, mango, etc..... I am getting nothing from my beer. Zero hop aroma/flavors. General bitterness, but no hop "clarity" or flavor. Thinking I need to hit my LHBS to have...

I have in the past, yes. Oats/Wheat......The most obvious place to start here is with the hops. I'll start there. Need a Ph meter as well.

1 Week in keg- Color is fine. It's not oxidized. Slightly hazy..No aroma.

Yup. Last 3 IPAs: Yeasts used: -Omega DIPA (most recent) -Imperial Joystick (Huge Dry Hop - 4+ oz El Dorado + 3+ oz Amarillo. Weighed down with shot glass.) -OMEGA YEAST BRITISH ALE V OYL-011 (Compares to WY1318 (London Ale III)....For this brew I did two dry hop additions (1oz Citra Cryo hops...

Let's assume for a second that it is oxidation, and all my IPAs are a victim. Would it happen post boil? During whirpool?

Thanks dude! It's just frustrating given the amount of time/$ invested in Cleaning/Sanitation, Hop storage, Fermentation temps, dry hopping, Water Chem/mash Ph, Closed transfers.....Scratching my head over here. Have dried Cryo hops, sinking hop bags with shot glasses, cold crashing, not cold...
