    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    I direct fired mine with natural gas (I converted the Edelmetal Bru Burner to NG) and it worked just fine. My water heater is in my garage so I put a tee with a quick disconnect and that has served me well. This is what I use and it's great...

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    I decided to cap the element port for now and put a valve on the 3 ports using the valves below. I was going to cap the top port, but thought I will use it for transferring wort into the kettle without disturbing the pump circuit I am using for re circulation...

    learn from my mistake - Brew Hauler melted

    Wow so I know this is a necro post, but I too just went to empty clean my brew haulers that also sat outside for a few days and also noticed all the straps were melted and destroyed just like this. The first time it happened I thought I may have left too close to the kettle, but having seen...

    Voss Kveik yeast is a monster

    I just pitched THB Voss Kviek into a 1.070 hoping to be hazy IPA. It's been less than 48 hours and it's already almost done fermenting. This is my 10th use of this yeast, which was originally purchased close to 2 years ago. I found I get a permanent haze with it which should compliment the...

    If you decide to sell it let me know... I am considering making one into a mash tun.

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    Ok... SSBT confirmed they do not sell the sight glass / dip tube / valve combo separately... but I do have the chronical racking arm adapter and it's perfect in addition to the valve they also list. So there are two dip tube options that require no modification...

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    I got my 2 kettles and am very impressed by the quality. I transferred the valves from my SSbrewtech BME kettle to try a BIAB session this weekend. As the other guy said the valve / pickup from the SSbrewtech cronical works perfect as well as the bottom valve from the BME kettles. They don't...

    Blue Moon Clone

    I did a wheat beer inspired by this thread and its a crowd pleaser! I did 10 IBU worth of El Dorodo in boil, .5oz valencia orange peel & .75 oz toasted coriander at flameout, fermented with midwestern ale with another .5oz of orange peel into the fermentor. Great beer! If I do it again I am...

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    Since I bought 2 kettles I am curious on how viable a 2 vessel system (full volume continuous recirculating mash) would be with these kettles if I got a false bottom made for one of these.

    My New England IPA is never hazy enough.

    Just an observation, Voss Kviek yeast has always been hazy for me regardless of how long the beer is kegged. I am attempting a hazy with that yeast in a few days and am using all cryo hops for dry hopping.

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    Yeah I ended up buying a second one... I would eventually like to go all electric so for the cost there is no harm in holding onto a second kettle for when I go all in

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    I love my SSbrewtech BME 12 gallon, and it does well with BIAB, but I am considering using this as a electric HLT.

    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    I purchased one after seeing the deal on instagram... Such a killer deal! There is a rear port for an element in addition two the 3 front ports!

    Poor hops utilization with hop-spider?

    If you draw from the re-circulation port you probably wont have the same pump cavitation issues that you would otherwise have from drawing from the dip tube during a boil. Then once boil is done switch hoses to regular configuration.

    Poor hops utilization with hop-spider?

    I am not a fan of high IBU beers, but I stir the contents of the hop spider every few minutes, and when cooling (plate chiller) I will sometimes run the return directly into the spider.
