I cold crash every batch, I ferm in 1/4 slim Sankey kegs and siphon off via Co2 into a Corny keg. At that time I drop the temp on my frem chamber to 30 degrees or so for 5-7 days.

I was given a sixer as a gift and after having one I pretty much gave the rest away. I don't know what it is about that beer but my pallet does not like it at all.

I only use my chest freezer for a ferm-chamber, however for that use the probe wedged between the lid and base works just fine.

Victory, "Golden Monkey"

Drifter Clone, brewed for my wedding day on the 20th!!

I used to never cold crash but I did read allot about it on here. Then one magical day I converted a chest freezer to a Ferm-Chamber and with the turn of a knob I get clear beer.

Man your right WOB is taking off, I just checked their website and they have 7 in the Orlando area and 7 in the Tampa area! I remember when they opened the first one it was a big deal, never heard much about the others opening.

There are already two but maybe even three WOB's in Orlando at the present.

Cheers! Early start to my weekend (My bachelor party in Tampa FL)!

Wow I saw this thread and got excited about it's contents.... Then I noticed if was dead :(. Anyhow I to am an Orlando Native and feel your pain (Besides Orlando Brewery) but have you tried this place? http://thehourglassbrewery.com/kettle/ I have not but I have heard very good things!

Funny you say that, I live in Central Florida and can't stand to brew in the summer months. In the Winter I brew at least twice a month in the summer which is 8 months out of the year, I might brew 5 times....

Lots of creative options out there! None really better then the counterparts for me it was a mix of cost effective, simple and size!

Thought I would post mine up here. I had the PVC rig for about an year until it finally melted. Never noticed any issues with it but then it never touched my wort. Anyhow I made this one and it is pretty much the same as the others just slightly modified.

Just for others, all you need to do to get perfect bends in your copper is (assuming its already coiled) is cap one end, fill the entire coil with water and freeze. Once frozen you can create a tighter radius down to around 6" with zero kinks. When coiled allow the pipe to thaw and when done...

Count me in as well please!

Great! I will have to check it out..

Yeah that's my understanding for sure, to be completely honest I just felt like I could call it a pumpkin beer with out the pumpkin. It might not do much but at least my brewer skill level is increasing!

Did anyone ever try this recipe? I really like this beer and would even consider doing the 2 batch blend!

It was a 5 gal. batch, however to be fair what I really meant was the pumpkin as a whole was about 10lbs. I only used the meat but still fee I put 7-8 lbs. in the mash! Hey it's my first attempt and I read it takes a lot of pumpkin for a little pumpkin taste, besides SWMBO absolutely loves...
