I have a 10 gallon Update International stainless pot and lid that has been drilled for electric (holes for sight tube, pid, element, inflow and outflow). The pot has a lid. It is the perfect size for 5 gallon batches, and I only boiled over once. After that, I learned to watch the wort and...

Code please, if any are left

I have both, and will go the other way. Oxygen kit. Much easier to keep shaking your starter and/or give it a hit of oxygen before you begin the starter. Much more PITA to shake a carboy for five minutes in my opinion. I will say that the combination of both, along with temperature control...

Thanks for the ideas guys. I really like the running the taps through the wall from the basement, if for no other reason than it just sounds cool. One other question. Do I run in to practical line length issues with such a setup? Just eyeballing it, I don't think the lines would have to...

Now that sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

I drink beer in the winter, just not as much. Winter is for bourbon :). I agree that rolling it in and out is the easiest solution, there is even a place fora kegerator right by the sliding door onto the patio. Just not sure I want a kegerator five feet from my kitchen table. At some point...

Hello. As the weather warms up here in Ohio and the empty bottles pile up in the basement my thoughts turn to putting a kegerator on my back deck. Ideally, I would like a two tap kegerator that is weatherproofed enough that I could leave it on the deck in the elements for the summer and then...

I don't know what to say about the water profiles. I have added my home water profile a couple of different times and not had an issue with adding it from the ipad under the setup/water profiles tab. I did just pull it up on the iphone and add it, and now I see what you mean about "hiding" the...

I am in exactly the same boat. Brewer's Friend for Brix conversions, ez water for what little water stuff I do, Mr. Malty for yeast stuff, etc. Except for the fact that you kinda have to know how big of a starter you need to reach a given number of cells (IB2 will only give you cell...

You need to save the water profile under set up, not create a profile while working from a batch. If you save the water profile from the set up screen, it will save the profile. I was a beta tester on IB2, and although I haven't used the released version yet (I have been in trial the last...

I would like a more efficient no Sparge calculator as well. Right now, you have to get your volumes in the same fashion as the current software, although it seems to be set up for a BIAB profile. At least, I can't figure out how to auto calculate volume in the BIAB mode. I did send an e mail...

Yeah. The water profiles are nice. Just starting to play with that now (spent most of last week on recipes and batches). What I did was set up a profile for my home water and then there are a number of "brewing cities" water profiles in the program (London, Munich, etc). You select a source...

I am doing some of the beta testing. You are correct and at least as far as the beta is concerned, you backup your Ibrewmaster 1 database to the dropbox and then pick up that database with version 2. It converts batches and recipes. You do have to re input your equipment profile and custom...

I have this exact system, except I regulate the flow rate with a valve at the output of the single pump. Have put about a dozen batches through it so far and have no complaints at all.

It will give you an alert on each event you have scheduled for each batch. I have alerts for each fermentation stage, bottling and serving.

Feeling lucky

Count me in please

I will take the coil and compression fittings if still available and decide to ship

Hello, having received a grain mill for father's day, I plan on ordering some bulk grain as soon as I finish cutting my fingers to shreds fashioning a hopper out of sheet metal. I primarily brew Wits and Kolschs in the summer and am seeking opinions on whether I can cover both styles well with...
