I have the same issue with a similar setup. Increase the mass of your setup to account for it. Are you heating in the HLT and transferring to the MLT? You need to account for the mass of the transfer hoses/fittings/valves/pumps/etc depending on your setup. Also, at least for me, temp...
And the results... (recipe in post #8 above)
Mine on the left, commercial Hopalicious on the right.
First impressions - They're very close. Closest clone I've done.
Color - Clone is slightly too dark. I did a comparo a couple days before this picture was taken and I swore the color was...

I was successful soldering in a 2" triclamp ferrule into the side of a keggle. I first drilled a 1 7/8" hole with a hole saw from the hardware store, and then flared...
Woo! First soldered keggle fitting is a success! Thank you HBT for showing me the way. It only took 1 old lid riddled with holes, 2 broken bolts, 3 tries at making forming tools on the lathe, and 4 bashed knuckles. :) 1 down, 7 to go...
Do you find yourself trying different beers more often this year, as a result of this thread? While I love to try different beers, I do tend to just drink the same beer in the same barstool.
First post! Might as well be in this thread...
1) The fam
2) The bike, '07 Ducati Monster S4RS
3) Fishing; mainly with my pops in northern WI for muskie, but I've made it to Alaksa for some fly fishing
4) Biggest obsession: I built a 4 room soundproof recording studio in the basement. I fix...
