Honestly, I am considering two flex+ vs. one CF10. I guess I forgot to mention that. The reason I like two vessels instead of one is I can use different yeasts and dry hops, etc.

Hi all... I am in the market to upgrade my equipment and I think I have settled on Spike. I am looking at the Flex+ vs. the CF10. In an effort to save money, I think that my purchase will be the flex+. I have a refrigerator which (I according to how I measured....), will fit the flex+. This...

curious about this recipe. I did a dopple and it turned about pretty good. I think this style is quickly becoming a favorite.

I love 008. It is a slow eater though, especially at your current temps. I would wait just a little bit before adding that extra dose of dry hops. I mean you dont have to but if you want the yeast to eat all the can, I would not be surprised if it took at least another week or two to finish. If...

This just sold.

Was your DIY chiller cold enough? what temp did it get to? So I have glass carboys which I have manufactured to kinda keep air out. Once fermentation is finished, I swap the carboy cap out with a new one. The new one has a balloon on one of the antena while a racking cane is in the other. The...

Greetings, So I am in a bit of a pickle. I am about to dry hop my latest batch but see that my old refrigerator no longer works. I have no place to cold crash the beer once dry hopping is complete. Here's the question: Without using bags or any other item to store the hops, (my process limits...

So to add a little more food for thought: I added 3oz Kenyan roast (whole bean) to a blonde ale. After 24 hours I started taking samples. They ended up steeping for 3 days before I removed them. I thought the coffee flavor was perfect. It was smooth and flavorful... not over the top, no green...

I would like to sell my Ss Brewtech Chronical. The system is the brew master edition with FTSS cooling and heating abilities and pump. The chiller coil is side-mounted. There is an extra sample port attachment with extra o-rings, 2) neoprene jackets and extender legs. I am a modest brewer and...

If you're worried about efficiency, after you pull the wort from the first mash, you can mash the second round with that first round's wort. That'll up your efficiency and give you a gigantic stout.

got to tell you: that is pretty awesome.

yes please.

that's the spirit. Im sure if everything was clean you'll be fine. Let it age a week or two longer than normal so things mello out. Even if there is a little tartness it'll add to the character of the beer. I love it when people never have experienced something then weigh in to the OP and...

I pretty much agree with everyone up here, but I would also add the honey. You can up the initial bittering hop to counter the sweetness of the honey. I seriously would just throw it all in the MT and go at it. Hopping is where you will make this shine. For me, that would be the hardest part to...

I do this all the time... And I found out how much I love 008 as a result. I agree if you keep it simple you'll have two vastly different beers. For a recipe I would go 80% base malt to 20% wheat or oats. If you want it "cloudy" then drop the base 70% up the adjunct to 30%. For the base, you...

Yeah Mosaic and Citra are best of friends. If you have so many hops you may want to bitter with something different. Citra as a bittering hop isn't that great. If you want to just keep straight up citra, I would omit the bittering charge all together and spread that extra ounce out between the...

Count me in, too!!

My igrill has died out. This will be a great way to compare the products.

Did this with a straight-up blonde ale for a graduation party. It was the first keg of three to kick that day. Clean and easy drinking. Nothing special since it was just a blonde. However, I had fermentation activity for a good week and a half after the initial pitch. I fermented at 68*.

would love one.
