I don't ever really thing about mash thickness. I use any of several online calculators (Biabacus being the most sophisticated) to calculate water volume. The result is more a factor of grain & hop bill with absorption and system losses due to boil off and trub, etc. I get mash thicknesses in...

1. Are any of you folks with the new systems using the latest COFI filter offering? If so, care to comment? 2. Has anyone created a Beersmith profile for the 15 gal system? I'm thinking about starting to use the SW and while it does have a few BIAB profiles, I'm not sure they are a match...

Did you make these adjustments manually or program them to occur at different times? I agree it is very easy to manually change the set/hold temp.

They just posted a new extension setup on the SSBrewtech website. It gives close ups of the connections that you are looking for.

If i could guarantee a constant 67 or 68 or whatever, i wouldn't need the FSS... But your point is well taken. I think a fermentation chamber is probably a better solution.

My batch is still in there waiting to be kegged. Possibly this weekend. Here is an observation on the "fermentation session"": All of the components work. My setup with the aquarium heater and water at 90 degrees was sufficient keep the beer at 68 in a 40-45 degree garage...kind of. I have...

This is what I did. I bought an 8 gal bayou classic brew set up on Amazon and a wiselbrewer bag to fit. Invested less than 200. Did one batch on the stove that came out great and knew I was hooked. I ordered the brew-boss 15 gal system. I installed my own 240v circuit. The brew-boss is a...

I won't be back to the fermenter for a week or so. But will do so when I get there. I have to believe there are some pics online somewhere. Essentially it is simple barbed ends affixed to a stainless coil arranged with a nut and o-ring to seal to the fermenter lid with the barbs protruding...

Thought about this until I opened the system and saw that the pump power from the FTSS controller is DC via a small wall wort type of connector. There is not a 3 prong Ac outlet on the controller. The other alternative is to use the lower thermowell and maybe lower the target temp a few...

I received a FTSS as a Xmas gift for my 7 gal chronical. I was able to set it up and use it for the first time this weekend. Unlike all the previous posts (i believe), I'm using mine to heat versus cool. I set up a 48 qt cooler with about 3/4 filled with water and dropped in a 150W aquarium...

I've brewed 4 batches on mine so far. 1 blonde ale, 2 IPAs and one session IPA My last brew session (this past Sun) was by far the smoothest. The system worked exactly as programmed (by me) and expected. Even when I made changes during the programmed brewing (kicked up the element power to...

Great report. Thank you, Mark

Ever get a chance to try this? Thanks, Mark

I guess it's a matter of how cold your circulating fluid is, but are you folks considering cold crashing using the FTSS? Any reason it shouldn't work? Thanks, Mark

In please.
