OP, Anyone ever try this with 5 gallon igloo coolers? Obviously less room for ice around the edges, but only some, there is still room for ice completely around the keg. Just not as thick of layer. 5 gallon coolers are less than half the cost of a 10 gallon cooler(20 bucks vs 50ish). Hence...

Slightly less silky, i bet you won't notice much difference with all the additives

Yooper is 100%correct, most will pick one or the other and stick with it being the fittings are different and realistically pins are shorter by a few inches but the connects make up for that being they stick up higher the end result is they are one maybe 2 inches height difference but pins are...

First off, nice build! To the question, where are your temp probes? Are they hanging in the air, tied to a beer can, on the fermenter? Also my inkbird usually runs a few degrees colder on the display but my trusty mercury therm had it on point. (Probe is zip tied to a beer can) I had...

Id have to look at my recipe but i think 2.3oz of dme in one quart jar is a gravity of about 1.040. Also add a pinch of yeast nutrient and a very small hop pellet, also pressure can at 15lb for 15 min. Viola! Ready to use starter wort!

I would be interested in a clone recipe if someone had it, that stuff is delicious.

Lots of ice in a glass and little water put therm in it for roughly a minute... if it reads 0c or 32f it's calibrated if not adjust. I calibrate at the start of every brew day with my handy therm and calibrate the rest from it. Never off that way

As long as it's calibrated properly and recently probably none.

No sparge 65% Batch sparge 75-77% Fly sparge 80-85% Mill gap is set for. 028ish These are all with 60 minute mashes

Ive never done it, but have seen threads of people doing it. They hook an airlock or a blow off tube onto the gas side post and they're ya go. Only downside i can think of is only being able to do a 4 gallon batch to allow headspace. Then having a gallon of airspace in serving keg that wil...

Far east central here, Monticello. Lone wolfing it for 6 years, joined the Cedar Rapids Brewers Society (formerly beer nuts) last year.

That looks like a pretty solid unit, the only thing that would be a downside is the height that it adds to the sanke keg and being able to fit in a chest freezer(ferm chamber in my case). Building A simple collar should do the trick though. Nice solution. Thanks

Did this with a stout for 6 months. Drank in early spring then didn't feel like drinking dark beer so set it aside till about a week ago, and tastes wonderful. Yes, it will make a difference between lighter style beers(blondes pales ) than dark(stout browns) No, don't switch them all willy...

I have been contemplating about making a sanke Fermenter. Like the one pictured below only with a SS brew tech bucket lid(with gasket) . The only modification I will do in addition is having ball lock posts on the lid so that i can transfer via c02 after fermentation is complete without...

I have no experience with cubes. But my oak chips i did blanch with boiling water a couple times first, the color was dark brown when pouring off. I was worried about no oak flavor being left but soaked them anyway in whiskey for a couple months and it has a nice oaky flavor that's not over...
