Imperial A07 Flagship is an excellent all around yeast for West Coast IPA - ferments very fast and clean.

No on the lugs. There was a test version with lugs just like the 10 gallon, but they ultimately decided not to release it. My assumption is they decided against the lugs since you absolutely need a pulley to lift the basket when it's full. My 20 gallon came with the ring as well, I reached out...

Our process sounds similar - not sure what you use, but I use a Spike Flex+. If I'm dry hopping for any biotransformation (which I rarely do) I do it with 8-10 gravity points remaining - you want the yeast to be active long enough for the actual biotransformation to occur. 1-2 gravity points is...

I have a 20g Brau Supply kettle and basket with a custom steam condenser, and I also use a 220v Blichman BrewCommander with a 5500w element - sounds like we have a fairly similar setup. I upgraded from a Brewzilla because I was sick of dealing with the volume limits of higher ABV beers - with...

Thanks for the feedback all. After quite a bit of research I was pretty positive this would work, but I ended up submitting a ticket to Blichmann support anyway and immediately heard back from one of their design engineers. I sent the attached pic and asked if they could confirm this would...

I'll try to keep this short. I have a US purchased Blichmann BrewCommander that runs off 240v through a Nema L6-30 locking plug. The pump accessory runs off of a standard US 120v receptacle. The underside of the controller states it requires 240v 50/60hz for the main power supply. My...

Are those colored zip ties on each regulator? Or does Kegland have some colored rings I'm not aware of?

Hi all, I live in a townhome in Northern Virginia built in the mid 80's. I currently have a 30A double pole breaker feeding 220v to my laundry room through a 10-30 outlet (current wiring is shown in the pic below). In this outlet I have two hots and a neutral attached to the receptacle, and a...

Was supposed to be at 66°F but it crept up around 69-70° throughout. I've brewed this recipe a few times, I'll be curious how the temp affects the finished beer.

I've used Verdant a few times for NEIPA's and it's been great for me. Just used it again and it absolutely ripped through fermentation - each time has been pretty fast, but this last time was insane. Pitched a double pack around 6pm on July 20 at 1.066 and about 60 hours later it's sitting at...

Yeah, I would definitely try to add something around the edges to keep it in place. I just can't imagine it's loose enough to do so, mine fits so insanely tight that it only slides down the kettle in a very specific angle and then kinda clicks in at the bottom. TBH, I would reach out to Kegland...

I have a US 220v version as well. I haven't had any pump/false bottom issues yet, knock on wood. Just to clarify, your false bottom should fit pretty snug on the bottom of the brewzilla. If it doesn't you have a defective part. I've heard of quite a few people with loose fitting false bottoms...

I have a 4" to 1.5" TC reducer that attaches to the kegmenter - this just downsizes all the TC down to a more cost effective size. On the 1.5" TC is a butterfly valve - which basically controls the entire process. When I'm fermenting, the butterfly valve is open, and I attach my custom made...

Cutting the straight sections down is a pretty good solution. If the coiled part is too tall, you can carefully press down on them to compress them.

I searched high and low for my parts until I found exactly what I wanted - I hope this helps someone else. Here's my setup: 7.6 gal Kegmenter - (Link) Temp Twister (ordered in April 2021 - I believe this must be the newer version, as it easily fits through the 4" hole. - (Link) 4" x 1.5" TC...

Thanks to everyone who shared advice on my proposed build - it was greatly appreciated. I confirmed that my 220v/30a dryer outlet is indeed only a 3 prong. So I will be scrapping the idea of using that circuit, as well as the idea of running a new circuit back to the panel (60ft+) - it's...

I could also do dual 1500 watt elements and that would give me some breathing room. Either way, you've been extremely helpful. I've got some good information to chew on and I'll go home tonight and assess my situation.

Yes, I would likely move my setup into my kitchen. Run the panel off of the GFCI circuit in the kitchen, then run the single element off a circuit in living room.

I'm about 99% certain I have a 3-wire setup. This house was built in the mid 80's before the code switched to 4-wire. Anyway, I'll double check when I get home today, but I think I'd be faced with running a new line in a finished basement - which I'm unlikely to undertake because of the hassle...

I can't be certain, but I'm about 99% sure it's a 3-prong. I can check when I get home tonight. If it's a 3-prong, does that make this a deal breaker all around? EDIT: I would assume so since the panel I'm building would have a 4-prong plug. Nevermind. I'll check tonight when I get home. Thanks!
