I'm in...thanks DELTA & HBT!

Fingers crossed!

Just gotta say...wow, well done sir! I'm a geek for the little details, and the beer lines neatly organized around the collar is a nice touch. Custom mount for the fan, check; mount for the C02, check; color coded beer lines, check. I would love to see a pic of the inside of this thing with six...

Thanks SS Brewtech!

Yes Please!

Thanks, I have been searching, but so far have only come up with threads where guys are splitting different boils/hops or fermenters/yeast. I'll keep looking.

Never thought of that angle, not a bad idea. You are suggesting one big base mash, and four mini-mashes which include a small amount of the base malt (for conversion)? That way I can mash out the big base mash, then combine with the smaller speciality mashes. Seems like that would work.

Greetings all, I'm looking to get some input regarding doing some smaller size experimental batches. I've been brewing AG for about 8 years, and currently use a three-vessel HERMS system to make 10 gallon batches. Lately I've wanted to experiment with fine-tuning new recipes using smaller...

Actually, that's exactly how I have always done it. My system is a direct-fire, single-tier rig with burners under the Boil Kettle and HLT, and bottom-drain Mash Tun (in fact, that's my setup pictured on the article page). I have my HERMS coil inside my HLT, and I keep the HLT temperature around...

Happy Halloween!

Yes! Thank you Ss Brewtech!

@sudbuddy this forum is about beer & brewing. I applaud the effort of those who take the time to submit articles and engage the members. Many articles include photos, video, and in this case a bit of research. We are not professional journalists, we are homebrewers. Austin volunteers to...

Sounds like a good plan, I'd like to see some photos of the setup when you have it all together!

About a year ago I switched from glass carboys to using 1/2 bbl (15 gal) Sanke kegs for primary fermentation, and I absolutely LOVE IT. I brew ~10 gallon batches, and usually end up with about 11 gallons +/- in the keg when I pitch the yeast. I have not tried the "pressurized" fermentation...

Bd2xu I had the same thing happen to me, which is why I decided to go with the HERMS system. Compared to the Direct-Fire MLT, I think the HERMS is superior in ease of operation, and control, hands down. With regards to operation, the HERMS is very simple. The first thing I do on brew day...

Yes, I think that with an electric system there is no reason that you couldn't have a bottom drain on each of your kettles, and that would be awesome in my opinion! The Tri-Clamp for the Sankey neck is 2", and works especially well with a special silicone gasket sold by Brewer's Hardware...

@beernutz: My brewhouse efficiency with this system has always been up around 80%. I use Beer Tools to scale recipes, and have had great success!

@BungBrewing: My false bottom does not move around in the bottom of the keg. I have a thread somewhere on the forums about making the false bottom. It is two pieces, and when folded flat fits snugly against the inside of the keg. I'm sure any of J-Bird's false bottoms would work great for this...

thanks!
