My Hazy...

Thanks for the help guys, as far as conditioning goes, how long should you wait before drinking? It’s carbonated in a few days, but is there benefits to waiting before drinking it?

So I’m currently brewing a NEIPA, I have been hitting my final gravity after a week into fermentation. I have kegged at day 10 with good results. (At least everyone including myself thought so). But would like to hear pros and cons of kegging earlier or later in the process. I know day 10 sounds...

Thanks for the suggestions and help! I will have to see what I end up with putting 12gal into the fermenter!

The chiller is a Danby that I got at Best Buy. Kegerators are Edgestar that I got off of Amazon. Two 5 gal kegs in each. Both with duel CO2 regulators...

Basement beer station...

You are absolutely right frisby. To be honest I could just get rid of the sight glass all together. I am not harvesting yeast as of yet. Might be kinda dumb but I like watching the yeast go crazy the first few days! Cheers!!

I have recently upgraded my home brewery with an awesome CF10 conical fermenter from Spike. I have only done 3 10gal batches so far so I am still learning the equipment. I have kegged 7-8 gals all 3 times. What I’m trying to figure out is if my losses are worth it or not. With the carboy I brew...

I also have the CF10, I wanted the sight glass on the bottom so that required the leg extensions. Without the triangle or a DIY plate it not be stable enough. I also carry it outside or to the basement for cleaning. I’m halfway through fermenting my second batch in it and am very happy with...

Would converting to electric on a rig like mine be possible in the future sillbeer? Not sure if it would require different kettles or what...

So I am still learning myself. For me, I like batch sparging. For 5 gal batches I use a 10 gal igloo cooler to mash in. But for 10 gal batches I bought the 20gal SS cooler like yours. It was only my third batch in it this weekend. I vorlauf into a pitcher slowly until clear wort. Usually about...

Yes I cut the plugs off. If you don’t want too you’ll have to find a different box to control your pumps. I went with SS strut so I can change the stand down the road if need be, I also went with two Hellfire burners which have been awesome. I really only use one of the pumps but I guess it’s...

I bought the same Mash Tun but 20 gal. I built a two tier stand. Gravity for the HLT and a pump to transfer into the boil kettle. Let us know how the build goes! Good luck!!

Thnx guys! So is the National Homebrewer’s Conference is open to the public? Cheers bradleypariah, I’m in NE Portland!

The two pumps were totally overkill, one is plenty for what I do. Sometimes I use both, sometimes just one. Comes in handy for cleaning too! Still playing around and learning the equipment! Cheers!!

Cheers from Portland OR! Two and a half years in since my first batch on the stovetop. Built a rig for the garage, batch sparge 5-10 gal all-grain batches. Still learning!

Built my first brew stand so I could do bigger batches. 2.5 years since my first batch in a 7 gal kettle on my stove. Batch sparge 5 and 10 gal batches. All stainless steel strut, two Hellfire burners, 15 gal Spike HLT, 20 gal Ss insulated cooler, 30 gal Spike brew kettle for boil, Therminator...
