LOL heat loss😄 With this amount of wattage I don’t worry about it. Kettle is 8 gallons. I can hold mash temps with just induction at #2 power setting and recirc pump. I start boil with just under 5 gallons. The hotplate will not boil this amount. So I ended up with this setup. I can in no way...

I do not have 220 available. My induction plate is 1800 watts. I added two 6” x 12” silicone drum heaters to the outside of my kettle for 1440 watts. They run without a thermostat during boil. I have to use 2 separate 20 amp circuit’s. The only limiting factor is max weight on the induction...

Lallemand munich classic is now my favorite yeast for hefeweizen. I just mix it in when transferring to the fermenter. Dry yeast is all I use. It’s cheaper, has longer shelf life and is so easy to use since I can skip the starter.

I brewed a hefe years ago with 3638 fermented at 68 it had a crazy bubblegum flavor that slowly disappeared as we drank a 5 gal keg. I could never do it again.

As usual on the sabbath, I will be offering a sacrament this week its Mosaic Amarillo pale ale.

For some stupid reason that water calculator defaults the source water ph to 8 I can change it to 5 but it wont save it and it defaults back to 8. So the expected ph according to the calculater is inaccurate. I just did a brew using 5 gallons of sparkletts spring water which has some minerals...

The ph of my R/O water is always 5. My mash ph is usually aroud 5. I measure ph with both colorphast 0-14 and 4-7 test strips. It doesn’t matter whether I am making a dark or light beer the ph is 5. I use Brewers friend water calculator and usually use either light colored and hoppy or balanced...

The mill with hopper and shipping is about $380 to my location in California. But there is no sales tax. Shipping was $55.

My Millmaster is a beast. I highly recommend it. Reviews 1 — MillMaster

I run a recirc pump during mash and need to keep it at a 2 setting. I have no insulation just the lid. I don’t understand how temp could rise.

I use the Duxtop P961LS/BT-C35-D. it has a max weight limit of 65 lbs. I do BIAB and mash about 7 lbs of grain in 5 gallons of water. I am boiling about 4.75 gallons and put 3 gallons in the fermenter. By itself it might boil but not very hard boil. So I have added 2 silicone drum heaters from...

I was playing around with an idea to reduce my level of monitoring my mash tun and it works really well. Its a 700 watt drum heater, it has a thermostat but it has no fine control so I‘m using an Inkbird and it hits my target and maintains it quite well. I was considering going to an Anvil...

Nothing is served at 30 psi, thats just crazy. The numbers written on the gages indicates the gage range. The beer lines are about 2 ft long. And the the beer pours just fine.

For the record, the post shows how it can be done. If you dream it, you can do it.

The problem is not knowing where the lines are located. Doing it this way solves that problem. Holes are drilled, done deal mate.

I got 2 holes drilled and am doing a third I need to remove more insulation. The tricky part was drilling between the lines on the inner wall. Also lining up the inner and outer hole. The inner wall is paper thin like foil.

I cut a section from the plastic cap at the top lip of the front on my freezer. Then I pried that section off to expose the insulation. With a chopstick or wooden dowel I dug out the insulation in about a 10” section. I was able to expose 3 refrigerant lines running horizontally along the inner...
