Been doing a lot of NEIPAs lately and cooling to 150ish for hop stand. That's probably contributing. Plan on doing a 5 gal batch of a little sumpin sumpin clone this weekend and will report back if there are any issues. On another note. My PWM randomly quit working last night for this pump. I...

I use a paint strainer bag for my hops. It's either not fine enough mesh or it's just hot break that clogs the braid. I've been doing 5 gallon batches instead of 10 gal lately with the same filter system and it hasn't been an issue with the lower volume and less trub

I've transferred warm fully carbed or close to it with a couple brews now and havent had any issues yet. Maybe it has been proven elsewhere, but i don't see how you pick up any oxygen transfering this way. My transfer occurs at 20-30 psig and the flow is so slow no way a venturi is being...

Sorry didn't mean to be uncourteous. Didn't even cross my mind that it would cause confusion. Interestingly per ISO 8601, the international standard date notation is YYYY-MM-DD. Ended up not doing another charge of hops and now it's chilling. May taste it in a day or so. If it seems off will...

Started off at 65F finished at 69F. This is the longest warm dry hop I've done. Got lazy and transferes to the serving keg later than originally planned. It's not an unpleasant grassiness though. It's actually pleasant, but my goal was for it to be more on the juicy side. Maybe once chilled...

How quick are you guys drinking these before the hop flavor fades? I brewed a 5 gal batch on 5/18 with a 30 min hopstand 2 oz each mosiac and citra. Then dry hopped after about 36 hours with 3 oz each mosiac and citra. I did a pressurized fermentation in corny kegs and transferred to serving...

The blog below are using these, but unfortunately not any feedback on how well it works. Looks like it should work though. Parts sourced through AliExpress and eBay will cost about $7 per floating dip tube with screen. Think I'm gonna give this design a shot...

I'm also interested in serving from the fermentation keg due to simplicity and lack of fermentation chamber space. However I am also worried about potential off flavors. I've read autolysis results in the off flavors, but all the sources I've come by say that there is little harm in leaving the...

On my 2nd batch of using this method. First one turned out well even given all the hiccups. Brewed another NEIPA. On my first pressure fermentation I threw in all dry hops when pitching the yeast. Turned out fine, but decided to pitch at high krausen this go around. Well it's been about 36...

Got a better deal than me. I went through Alibaba instead of directly through email. Ended up paying $64 for element, locking cable, and TC clamp. $36 for all parts $28 shipping and received in less than 2 weeks from placing order. Fwiw, i did not specify the cable gauge and they sent SOOW...

My first spunding valve was nearly identical to the morebeer version. Bought it at my LHBS for less than half the price they were listed online. Thought I was getting a steal until I used it and found out it was crap. I ended up getting an "adjustable tire deflator" from a friend and from...

Thanks for the feedback all. So to ensure I understand correctly if you set the pressure to say 30 psi with a couple points left to FG you will have fully carbed beer at FG. Otherwords, the last couple points will produce enough CO2 to raise the head space pressure to 30 psi and all additional...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check that out. I also did my first batch under pressure with this beer. Since you can easily take a sample with a picnic tap I used my refractometer to track fermentation. Never thought of using it during the mash. I created a spreadsheet using Petr...

Gave my first go at this method with a NEIPA and it hasn't gone as well as planned. After about a day into fermentation I realized the gas disconnect on the FV wasn't pushed on all the way and as soon as I pushed it in the SK pressure sky rocketed and both kegs started shaking like crazy...

Well I've gotten 99% of the build complete. Still waiting for the aviation connections from China so had to drill a temporary hole. Going to install two aviation connections on the panel and a switch to be able to read two RTD sensors. Brewed a NEIPA on the build last weekend and everything...

Can get a better price online. This was the best I found at $78 for 40 feet. May be able to find cheaper on E-bay https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JNWZN66/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

So how clear should I expected it to be before racking to secondary. The photo shows how much it has cleared since I pitched the yeast just over 2 weeks ago.

My application I planned to use them not as a main power breaker for the entire controller, but rather to only protect the 12awg wire from the controller to the heating element. So I would only operate them if there was a trip. These are push button designs so I don't even think they can be...

Whats the difference between two single poles breakers one each line vs two fuses one each line? Seems pretty common to do two fuses to the PID. May be easiest to just cut my losses and replace the 12awg cable with 10awg.

Hopefully you don't take my posts as derailling yours, but figured mine questions are pretty similar. Is it ok to put a single pole breaker on each hot line instead of a double pole breaker? Reason I ask is I could not find a double pole breaker that would ship in time so bought two single...
