This worked great in the pinch I was in to brew at the time. I recirculated until the flow from the mash tun was clear and the connected to the heat exchanger. Before I used it to chill the wort after the boil , I back flushed it first to make sure it was not clogged. I brew with whole hop cones...

Thanks Fijigus

I am selling my HERMS brew system, I usually brew ten gallon batches. It has burners under the boil kettle and the hot liquor tank. There is a heat exchanging coil in the hot liquor tank, while mashing the grain the wort is circulated thru the heat exchanging coil to control the temperature...

I ordered a new HERMS coil awhile back and it will not be delivered until next Monday. I was itching to have a brew day so I used my plate chiller to maintain the mash temperature. Working vary well! Sent from my iPod touch using Home Brew. Poptotwoboys Vancouver WA

That is absolutely the coolest rig I have ever seen!

Excellent, glad you found what you need. I used this web site in the past: www.brewersfriend.com/ Brewer's Friend is a set of tools and information to help you brew your very best, every time. Easy to use for beginners ... Great source for various tools online, I would guess there are many...

Yes, the fermentable sugars come from the grain and the malt extract. You can add more dry malt extract to the boil. Look online for a recipe calculator. It will help you formulate your recipe and determine the bitterness range. There are lots of free online if you do not have access to...

"Strike Temperature - Temperature at which to dough-in your mash. This value assumes that your mash tun has been pre-heated." I cut and pasted this from the Brew 365 calculator page you are referring to, values assume you are pre-heating. I use Beersmith and there is a box you can check to...

This is my single tier HERMS system. The stand started its life as a process table in a lab. My company was hired to demolish the building, all the content of the structure were headed to the dumpster. I narrowed the frame by 7 inches and took a couple of feet out of end. Added castors and some...

I have been using Star San for years and never rinse. I brew and drink only lagers, always very clean, no off flavors, never had a soapy flavor.

I split my ten gallon batch into 2 corney kegs and use a pack of dry yeast for each keg, secure the lid and put a fitting on the gas and a length of tube for a blow off.

+1 to Kombat, all great pointers.

I do only dump clear wort into my fermenters but not because the end result flavor is affected, but wasted space in the fermenter. You had a half gallon less in the fermenter with the trub and hops. I have done it both ways and found no difference in the finished product. My bet is after some...

When I first started brewing my kettle did not have a valve on it to drain the wort, I would pour it into the carboy through a funnel. some of the trub and hops would end up in the fermenter. When the beer is finished I racked to a keg and left the hops, yeast and trub in the bottom of the...

A Kolsch is much like a Pilsner and it is fermented with an ale yeast. It is cold conditioned to clean it up. So if you brewed with the Pils grain bill and use an ale yeast with clean characteristics like US-05, I'm sure you'll end up with an excellent beer.

Yes, you could force carbonate with soda stream. it is the same basic setup as a keg system. I like carbonated water on occasion and thought of purchasing one for that, added bonus I could force carb beer for hand outs to co-workers. Not a stupid question btw.

I have thirty gallons on hand, ten more in the fermenters. I am not a big drinker either, but really do enjoy the process. :mug:

Too funny! Yer right. :smack:
