All of this makes sense, thanks for the in depth response. I’m surprised I haven’t come across this in the past, but I guess the high OG beers I’ve brewed were more in the 1.090s as opposed to the 1.10s

Thanks! I did plan on a longer boil (90 mins instead of my normal 60), but sounds like I should have gone longer. Should I have planned on a boil volume/time that was equal to the first runnings of my mash? Or even longer to allow a small sparge? The only problem is that my eHERMS/steam...

Hello, I came across a new situation for me during my last brewing session: I brewed a RIS (Dry Bourbon-Coffee Beaned) with a 32.5 lb grain bill that required about 10.2 gallons of strike water for my desired mash thickness. It was a 5 gallon batch on my 20-gal eHERMS system, and my boil...

In, thanks!

I have it going into a bucket. I had to buy a longer 3/4 ID silicone hose to reach the bucket, but originally had it touch the bottom which caused it to be submerged after a little bit of boiling. I cut the hose to where it just hovers above the bucket as it drains and that fixed the leak...

just re-read the manual: my exit hose gets submerged often (it shouldn’t be)…that’s gotta be my problem, didn’t even think of the pressure build up that would cause

The pump is working great as far as I can tell, but not sure about the nozzle? Maybe I’ll take it apart and see if it’s gummed up with scale or something. I get flow out of the nozzle, but I’m not sure if it’s at the appropriate rate or not. I use Craftbeerpi to run my boil output at the...

Has anyone figured out how to get steam to stop leaking out the rim of the lid? I have a spike 30 gal kettle with the lid on an eHERMS using 5500 ulwd elements. When I run the boil at anything greater than 15% (slightly rolling boil) steam starts leaking out the sides and condensates/drips down...

Thanks a lot for this! Got it loaded and it works like a champ! Does anyone know how do you disable "autostart/auto fullscreen for chromium"? Thanks again!

I know this is reviving a very old thread, but I just got my Hosehead humming with CBPi 2.2 and I was curious if you’d recommend upgrading to CBPi 3 with this system? We’re there any pros/cons to upgrading the software or was it pretty transparent? I want to stay current, but I’m cautious...

My good friend’s brother-in-law is a brewer there (Ed), I’ve heard good things, was it pretty cool?

That thing is epic. Steampunk keezer...

I just got mine set up a few months ago, I like it a lot. I got the Hosehead 5BC for my 20 gal eHERMS system. Ive done 5 brews on it and its pretty slick; it's cool controlling the pumps & elements from my iPhone or laptop. My set up has a small glitch (most likely a fluke), but Corey (the...

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I came to. Thanks!

Thanks! Mine attenuated down to 1.020 which was right about on target. I have a newer system, so I messed up and sparged a little too fast. My OG was 1.070 instead of 1.089. No complaints though. More of a Russian Proletariat Stout as opposed to a RIS...

It tastes great and finished out to the expected FG already...

Brewed an all grain KBS clone last week with chocolate and cocoa in the boil. It’s been about 4 days in primary and the krausen looks a little different to me. Anyone done an RIS and seen krausen like this?

In!

I just used the SS mudpan listed here and built a wood holder for it. I left the mud pan loose in the frame so I can take it out and rinse it easily. Works great for me and I think it looks adequate....especially for $14 and some scrap wood/paint.

Looks good! Good call on the pump bleeder valve, I need to put one of those in, I’m having priming issues here and there.
