been doing some reading on the abundance of info on this site. Realizing why people have 2 pumps on their systems. Looks like circulating the HLT is my problem. Am i right about that? I cant believe it makes that much difference, but what ive read is that its a major factor. Hmm. Time...

Hi all, ive finished my first single tier system. I have finished 2 brews in the system, the first turned out well, a dark ale. The second one i just finished last night. Same thing it ran very well. Both times ive noticed that there is a 4 degree temp difference from the HLT to the...

The brass tap is on the HLT to pressure test the coil.

the start of making a fold away stair to get some height.

getting things together. Stand is nearly built and HLT and Mash are nearly complete.

Im in the same boat, i have a 50' stainless coil with 2 90 degree bends to go strait out of the keg. I was looking on how to attach the coil inside with the fittings you mentions bobby. Could you post a link to your site on which fittings you would use for this project. I have the coil but...

well, its been a while. Ive had a bunch of busy months and now finally had some time to start back on the build. Update - Ive ordered all my parts and they are on route as we speak. I live in Canada, but as the prices are so much cheaper in the states, i bought all my parts there. You can...

im going to use the turkey fryer for the HLT, wont need to get to a rolling with it, but close. ill look into the regulator. I was also investigating going electric for the HLT tank, but im concerned that it will take longer to bring up to the different temps. Is this a misconseption on...

i would like to do 15 gallons worth so i will definitely use the 20 gallon brewpot for my boil. Im thinking the Sanke keg for the mash. Euro keg for the HLT. Just cut the lids off last night. Going to buy some copper pipe this weekend. Ill have to get another false floor for the sanke...

Hello Fellow brewers. Im about to start my first HERMS build. It will be a single tier. I need to buy a pump. Is there a march pump that is better than others, i see march pumps with different codes behind it, which one is best to buy. Also I allready own a 20 gallon blichmann brewpot, 15.5...

so the bayou shown on northern brewer is the same as the Bayou Classic KAB4 High Pressure Banjo Cooker on amazon if im reading you correct. Sounds like a good deal. Will be ordering one soon.

thank you, that is the one i was looking at. I bought a 20g pot and used a burner for a turkey burner. Yes it did leave some burnt mash on the bottom of the pot, and took way to long to boil 16 gallons of wort. So im in the hunt for a new burner. By the way, that batch was dubbed smoked...

Hi Fellow brewers, Question on burner to pot ratio. I brewed a maiden brew in a 20g brewpot. 17 gallon of wort preboil. I used a turkey burner for this mission. It took forever to get up to boil. I know its alot of wort to boil. Also i did my mash in this pot, using the blichman...

Well UPS denied the claim, and it was obvious that it was damage from shipping. Way to keep your standards low UPS, as per usual. Anyways, as soon as UPS denied the claim, John called me and took care of it. As soon as i got of the phone, 10 minutes later i received a tracking number for...

cheers, thanks for the help, i added more. :mug:

getting a replacement tank. So its all good. CHEERS!

it was $120 for shipping which brought the 7gallon fermenter to 440, i was then hit by a 120 border fee, 560 total price to get in my door. Still cheaper than buying here in ontario, around $740 for a 7 gallon.

The slurry was thick like wet sand. I asked the brewer how much and he told me around 100 to 200 ml for 12 gallon. So i added 200, but then as i went to sleep last night i was thinking, wait a second, he told me they used 50L of yeast for a 6000L batch. I made a 14 gallon batch which is...

reading up, i dont know if my math is right or not, but , 1 ml of fresh yeast should be 1 billion cells. if that is true, i have 80 billion cells in a 6 gallon batch.. .. if im reading this right, im only half way there. Does this sound right? if it is, its been 15 hours since the pitch...
