    First 20 gallon batch, NOT AMBER...?

    Does the percentage of color/flavor grains go up as batch size does? I doubled what I usually use in my Amber, but the beer came out a caramel color. Most amber recipes I have seen use from 1-2lbs of crystal/cara__ per 5 gallons. Yet, building the amber in beersmith for 22 gallons, it has me...

    What cord are folk using for larger wattage systems?

    I'm building a 4500W/5700W RIMS/BK system using one of PJ's wiring setups and am wondering what to do for the main supply chord from the 50A GFCI spa panel to my control box. PJ's diagram uses 4-wire. I bought some 6 AWG SJOOW wire from ebrewsupply, but haven't yet found a 4-wire plug rated...

    Whirlpool inlet height concern for BrewersHardware kettle

    I am getting close to pulling the trigger on some kettles and equip from Brewers Hardware. But, looking at the pics of the Boil Kettle with Tangential Inlet, I am concerned that the tangential inlet should be higher up for whirlpooling. Especially since I am most likely going to install a...

    Need some kettle/tun size advice

    Building a new system to brew 15G batches. Can I get away with having both the HLT and MT being 15G and the boil being 20G?

    SG is a bit low, can I add?

    I just finished my first 10 gallon batch in my new keggle and my sg is a bit low for my liking. Can I add extract or corn sugar to bring it up?
