The IIPA is going strong. Its been fermenting like crazy since day 1. What i found surprising is that in my 60 degree basement, the temp ever rose above 67 degrees. And after a week was actually down to around room temp. This was with no active cooling. I will say that I drastically under...

So i was reading hte specs on that fan. 50 CFM is a crap load. The only concern I would have is that it runs at 4 sones which is approximately 55 Dba. Umm, that is not quiet. Conversational speech at 1 foot away 60 dba Average office noise 50 dba Quiet...

Yeah, I did the whole sketchup thing before I built my bar as well. I, however, was a complete wood working noob! Bought a tablesaw just to build the bar haha. I'm glad everything came out accurate and I'm anxious to see finished pics! The bathroom fan will move more than enough air...

It doesn't really matter. As long as you are moving air you are fine. I'd have push air in though, just because. On mine I actually dont even cool the coffin and its fine. Edit: Also, I like the look of the design you have going. I hope you have a nice table saw for the angles you have...

Loan: The bank loan got denied through Chase (which they said would happen), so now they are using the SBA (Government run loan service for small businesses) to underwite it. Slow process..... Location: I go pick up the lease today at 4 pm. At that point, my lawyer and I will look it over...

Ya know, I'm actually not opposed to this idea at all. I think it might infact be a great idea! I have limited quantites of my other beers, but it would be a cool way to get rid of some of this IPA. And I really havent gotten much use out of my new bar yet!! Perhaps when it gets closer...

Lol, any time man. I'd love to get feed back on my other beers as well. I'll let you know when its ready. But want real feedback. Maybe I'll give you a BJCP form for each beer :P

I didn't want to push it with two 5500's on my 50 amp breaker. Besides I can wait until I get into my building to crank out the juice. Once that happens I'll be running 3 x 5500 in each kettle :)

http://www.tank-depot.com/product.aspx?id=854 I got the 85 gallon ones.

Thanks! I was running a 5500 and a 4500 in each kettle yesterday (not at the same time due to only having 50 Amps). I was not overly happy with the rate at which things were going. I would say that it is doable with two 4500 elements, but you are going to be waiting around a fair amount for...

Today was a very long day. Started at 8 am and I just now finished up at 11 p.m. It was a rough day with a lot of twists and turns, but in the end things went decently well. Ran a double batch on the system to test out the fermenters and the rig at full load. The rig in action: Full Mash...

Life with a pump is something you are going to have to get used to I think. Once you do I guarantee you will like it. Drums are hard to find, but it seems when you do find them, they either have 1 or like 250 so if you want a ton of drums you can probably pull it off. I will be double...

They will send you a price page with any simple request. By ordering 27+ kegs I can get them for $91.50, if I order less than that they are $93 for a 1/2 barrel sanke style. They are not for homebrewers because they spears are threaded into plastic and they do not recommend you continually...

I'm buying 20 plastic sanke style 1/2 barrel kegs from http://www.plastickegs.com/. I'll get more as needed. Each of my fermenters holds 5 kegs worth. So 20 kegs will hold my first 4 batches of beer. I'll prob max out at 40 kegs.

A little bit. The DIPA and the Imperial stout actually smooth out pretty quickly. Both because they are so flavorful. The Belgian Strong ale on the other hand, benefits from time significantly and really takes about 2 months before it is where it should be, so it will be the first thing I...

I have adjusted my beer names to accomidate for this new marketing schema. Thank you for the advice. See below: Platinum Wheat (for the non beer drinkers) 5% ABV low IBU Platinum Double IPA - 8% ABV 80 IBU Imperial Stout Platinum- 9% ABV low IBU Belgian Platinum Strong Ale Platinum- 12%...

I think you will appreciate my Double IPA. It will be on tap opening day. And I'll give you a discount on it :) Brewery is called High Gravity Brewing, Inc. I plan on having 4 beers to start. Wheat (for the non beer drinkers) 5% ABV low IBU Double IPA - 8% ABV 80 IBU Imperial Stout...

As I stated before, real estate continues to be a huge obstacle. I've put a down payment on a place and am currently awaiting the initial draft of the lease agreement. For anyone not in California and doing this in their garage, the lease is when things get very real. The second you get that...

Sorry guys. No progress. I'm actually working incredibly hard right now on opening a brewery in Denver at the moment and all of my funds are tied up in the that.
