I have a Sanke Keggle with a cheapo false bottom, and I just use the Kal hose method. Works good. I get 93% or better mash efficiency with 1.055 and lighter beers.

I use a 244 CuFt O2 Tank and a medical regulator to a sintered SS stone in a triclamp on the bottom dump port of my conical. (I have a welding shop in my garage, so I have tons of compressed gases)

Jay's Brewing in Manasaas had one.

Inkbirds are rated at 1100W. The full load rating on the freezer is 5A, so it's ~625VA (approx watts) at 125V full load. It's a normal chest freezer compressor, just runs relatively longer.

Appreciate the help. Without fail, something big always craps out right as I'm packing to leave.

Homebrewers: I'm kind of in a crunch and crossposting this. My home (like the food, not the beer) chestfreezer's temp controller just took a GIANT dump. I have it rigged with a timer to keep things frozen but it's not a long term fix. It's a giant 23 cuft freezer, so I can't just go to...

Started off as a helicopter pilot flying SH-60Bs out of Mayport, FL. Did a late career transition to the E-2C Hawkeye, which is a carrier based AWACS. (Radar plane) Now I'm a reservist flying a desk, but trying to get into a C-130 unit. I fly for the USAF as my day job, as a contract pilot.

Did the finished product have the grain bill in your first post?

After leaving Carver I went to Michigan for college, then joined the Navy. Moved to Pensacola, FL, Corpus Christi/Kingsville Texas, Jacksonville Florida, back to Kingsville and then to Virginia Beach with the Navy.

Dumb question, where are you seeing comparable coolers for hundreds less. I think I've seen you cooling system on Kal's website, but I couldn't find the source for cheaper chillers. I would like a dedicated chiller.. I just can't bring myself to spend $1k for it when the GhettoCooler is...

This forum seems much more lively than the one for where I moved to. (I'm a transplanted Masshole, From Carver) Has anyone made a Cranberry Anything beer? I was half thinking of doing a Lambic Cranberry brew but I figured this was the best place to ask.

I've done two batches of Bohemian Pils on a HERMS Electric system using fly sparge vs Decotion. You are in the hunt with the design you have. Here is mine: (this is for a 5g kegged batch) OG 1.053 (Tweak to suit your system efficiency, I get pretty high mash efficiency) 7.5 lb Wyermann...

5180 + 35 = 5215 10g Hurricane Pilsner (Bohemian Pils) 5g Misfit Stout (Foreign Extra Stout) 10g Cask ESB (5g kegged, 4.5 casked, couple bottles) 5g Bitter JO (Imperial IPA) 5g Latvian Kvass (Kvass, a Small Beer from Rye)

I use both, plus blowoff tubes. More often than not, I'm doing 6-7 gallons in a 14 gallon SS Conical, so I'm not usually dealing with Krausen getting in there. 3 piece pros: Holds more Vodka/Starsan, so during an active fermentation, it doesn't dry out as fast. Easy Cleaning 3 piece cons...

I'm in here somewhat regularly when I'm home. It's four doors down, so it's basically like having a cheat code when I'm out of homebrew. http://www.pleasurehousebrewing.com/ It's on Shore Drive in the Chix Beach part of Virginia Beach. If you are in Virginia Beach on vacation, take the main...

Last time I did a pipeline in Germany it was nowhere near this fun. NordStream2 did pay ok though.

I'm still a reservist, so the 365 straight isn't workable.

I've been doing 60/60, 90/60 or 60/45 rotations for the last three years and overseas oilfield work before that. Definitely have to plan my brewing in advance.

I just brewed a Helles that's going to ferment and lager the two months I'm up at Bagram. If I fly over I'll wave.

Here is my electric setup. Control Panel wise, it's a Kal Clone 50A Back to Back setup. Kettle wise, it's bag of smashed you know whats. Got built with what I had on hand.
