Tried looking up this tread. Could you direct me to it? The one on using dairy industry stuff? Thanks

Low 60's here, too.

I was about ask for pic's, thanks

I'm a plate chiller guy too. Use a keggle to boil in. I do a manual whirlpool for 30-seconds, wait 15-20 minutes, then pump it through the chiller. The trub/hops are left behind and the wort i crystal clear. Never had any issues with chiller getting clogged. Can't remember the last time I used...

I have no idea as I don't have a o2 meter. I just read that most low o2 folks use this method. Previously I used camden tablets as part of my process, which some say reduce oxygen.

Tried my first serious low oxygen brew attempt, all steps, but i didn't really have a solution for a mash cap, so i just laid/floated some aluminum foil on top. Seemed to work ok. I still use keggles, so i guess I'll get a 15-inch pizza pan and cut it in half to put hinges on it like my false...

Just put 10gal of a Festbeir into the fermenters yesterday. Split the batch using Diamond and Mangrove Jack M-76 Bavarian Lager. Used a couple of MJ products over the last year or so and have had great results. Pitched according to manufacturers instructions (one was hydrated, the other...

Moving on to the Big Brew Day - American Barleywine. Needs a little aging. Going to make a great winter warmer, 10% so a nice alcohol warmth, high ibu's with a nice sweetness in the middle, then dry on the finish. In the kegerator now, but I think I'll take it out to condition at cellar temp.

Oops. Alright that was the third glass.🤣 Now I got the photo posted.

First glass of the Big Brew Day - Citra Session IPA. Goes down nice no hop burn for a beer 4 days in the keg. A little less than 5%. Not hot out this evening but has the making of a hot day pool side drinker.

Does everything, beer and seltzer, run through the same chilling method - plate v. coil?

How about a little centrifugal force instead of a squeeze? Something to spin it. I don't biab, but if I did, I would go Bobby's route. Isn't the main benefit of biab, simplicity?

Kept it simple. Costco ribs on the smoker.

Is the shutoff valve also the check valve? Or are those two separate pieces?

What water profile is everyone using? I just tried to look up what I used on my last version on the BS3 app, but couldn't find what I selected. Need to get to my laptop I guess to see that.

Kegged my Big Brew Day - Session Citra IPA, my Big Brew Day- American Barleywine and cleaned both fermenters. Need to get my Oktoberfest brewing next. Way late on that.

1500 +5g of Big Brew Day - Session Citra IPA +5g of Big Brew Day - American Barleywine =1510

Keep us updated either here or in the other thread(s). There's a lot of us who are on this "pilgrimage", and love to hear other people's experiences on the way.

Airgas swaps siphoned tanks? I need to check into this. I have an extra 20lbs tank sitting around I wonder if they would swap that for a siphon tank? The 5lbs swaps are getting ridiculous expensive. I run another 20lb tank on my keezer and 5lbs tanks for festivals and general brewery work...

I use the same mill. When I run wheat (or rye or other kernels that look small), I run them separately. My gap is set fat at .05-.055 for my RIMS, so I check to see if the grain is cracked after running it through. If I don't like what I see I'll run it again. That being said, I've never done a...
