I’m in lake Jackson, about an hour south of Houston. I’m not really sure about sanke kegs. I kinda doubt it - it was designed for corny kegs.

Updated with a picture

I’ll get some pictures up today.

I only used it once. Will ship in the original box. $175 shipped. Forgive my messy garage. I’ve got pin lock connectors installed right now, but I’ll include ball lock if that’s what you’re into.

Ah - this is for 20A. The 30A version is twice the price, and then you have to buy the plugs. I just ordered a breaker for $90 and I'll probably install it myself.

Where did you get your inline GFCI? I have been looking for one, but I'm probably going to just install a GFCI breaker instead.

I'm planning my next brew day, and I currently have a ton of Chinook and El Dorado hops in the freezer. Would these hops play nicely together? I want to do a big double IPA, and I'm looking for suggestions on recipe ideas, since I don't have great instincts yet. I'm thinking Chinook for...

Yeah, I did my first dry hop right on top of the krausen about 40 hrs after pitching yeast. I don't think I have ever seen a more vigorous fermentation.

I made a 2L starter and pitched it at 67° into my 1.060 wort and it fermented down to 1.010 in 60 hours.

I don’t usually worry about trub, but I wanted to dump it this time since I’m planning to harvest the yeast and I don’t want to deal with washing it and I also don’t want to dump a ton of trub into my next batch.

I brewed an IPA on Sunday (4 days ago), and I have been dumping the trub one 64 oz jar at a time over the last couple of days. The beer has been in my temp controlled conical at 65ºF and primary fermentation is finished. My question is: when does this yeast (WLP001) typically flocculate and...

At the moment I'm using the neoprene jacket that came with my Ss Brewtech BME Chronical. I know that it's not the most effective insulation, but it seems to work fairly well.

So, are you saying that I have too much glycol in my system? I did some research before I set it up and most of what I read called for a 30-35% glycol mix. That's about what I have. I bought food grade glycol (Propylene Glycol - 1 Gallon - USP Certified Food Grade - Highest Purity, Humectant...

Right now it's 1 part glycol to 2 parts water, but I'm realizing that it's too much glycol. I have a 7 gallon ss brewtech conical with the internal chilling coils.

Lots of info here - thanks! I just raised the temp on the controller to 50°. Let's see how that works. There's plenty of airflow around the AC unit, so that's not a concern. There are a few tiny openings on the cooler that I could probably insulate, but it's mostly sealed. It holds...

I recently put together a DIY glycol chiller with a 5000 BTU window unit and an ice chest. It's currently doing a great job of keeping the fermenter at 60°F in a garage that it about 80-85°F. I have it hooked up to a Johnson digital temp controller and I'm keeping my glycol reservoir at about...

This is like 2.5 days into fermentation.

My fermenter cooling situation is kind a Russian roulette situation. I have an Ss brewtech fermenter with SS coils for cooling, and I have an immersion pump and a temp controller. It works great unless the water temperature in the ice chest gets higher than the wort temperature. If that...

Yeah, I'm using a hydrometer, and there are a ton of bubbles when I first pour the sample, but I wait 10ish minutes to let the foam dissipate before I take a reading.
