For what it's worth I am cold crashing a raspberry kettle sour that was fermented hot (100°) with TYB Voss Kviek. The hydrometer sample was pleasantly fruit forward so I am excited to see how it turns out. That yeast is very versatile. My only observation is that is poops out at 81-82%...

I ran a tee off of my water heater gas line (in the garage) and I have no problems with fuel starvation even with the heater on simultaneously. So yes it would work, although I wouldn't do it inside. If using the inside gas source is your only option, why don't you get a flexible gas hose on a...

In that case I think either will do great. For the solar pump I added a PWM "dimmer" so I can throttle the pump without needing a valve on the output... just a thought. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07498PWG6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

That would work great for transferring / cooling wort. Recirculation would work, but depending on your kettle size may or may not be the "best choice". For the price though it may be worth trying... another popular / inexpensive pump to try are the "solar" pumps. They operate of 12V DC and are...

Refuge is going away from the Belgian thing... they have alot of pale ales, IPA's, NEIPA, a few stouts, saisons, sours, etc... blood orange wit is great. Pretty good choices. Dan Kelly their head brewer has really opened up the available choices and is taking the brewery in a great direction.

I have seen others do "chambers" with freezers similar to yours and I think there was alot of trouble keeping the larger volume of stuff at the desired temperature for kegging / cold crashing.

For what it's worth I converted the Edelmetal Bru Burner from NB to natural gas and it does fine. I have to double check on what part's I used, but I am 90% sure I only used a NG needle valve with a simple custom touch on the orifice. If interested I can list what I used / post some photos.

Awesome! No show us it in action.

Hey so I saw your profile picture from your RIMS posting and noticed your SS Brewtech grant vessel (is that the word?)... can you post a little on how that works?

I have a sour saison sitting on raspberry puree right now. I would imagine that dried cranberries are fine (craisens?)but I would run them through a food processor or blender first to get maximum flavor out of them.

Ok... my gravity from the last post was just a estimate from floating the hydrometer in the fermentor. Today I dropped sample down to calibrated temp of 60° and got 1.012 FG. That's 81% attenuation which is exactly what the max attenuation I have seen from my other batches with the same yeast...

Or send me 25 bucks and I'll ship it to you

Say like I dunno.. Like you do when you have a BBQ or party? Lol

The fear of ATF blasting in your front door due to a 6 pack transaction is ridiculous... the first place to go wrong is including the government in private lives.

This is what I used for my BCS clone (1.135OG) and it carbed right up!

So the my OG ended up a littler lower at 1.062 post boil, no biggie. I pitched the Voss Kviek and and set my fermwrap to 90°. That badboy free rose to 100° was down to 1.010 with krausen dropped in less than 48 hours. Hydrometer sample was a pleasant tart (I ended up choosing pH 3.6 so wife...

See my photo on post #19... I added a tee to the outlet port with a ball valve. When I am done I open the valve and the system drains itself. Also, this is why my pump is below the kettle (to prime) RIMS tube is above kettle height (to drain / clean) . I can drain and clean it in place. I know...

I have a 25' stainless chiller (Silver Serpent I believe)... I live in Beaumont 92223

I realize that, but since he only listed the varietal of hops I just did the recipe off of "default" alpha acid and the idea the cryo are 2:1 ratio. OP, if you want I can put in the actual number if you so desire to list them.

Do you know a IPA that you really like? Reason I ask is you need to know your target for bittering. If there is a IPA that you know you like, maybe you can make your IBU target similar. I am also like you that prefer hop aroma vs bitterness. Cryo hops are about twice as potent, so I plugged it...
