    Undercounter Kegerator Recommendations?

    Hello! We are finishing our basement, and the wife asked a few weeks ago "What about putting in a kegerator since you make beer?"......I smiled and nodded. Looking for a dual tap, built in/undercounter model (24 inch).....Any suggestions/advice?

    ITC-308 wifi is always heating or cooling

    Its still always either in heating or cooling mode. What about the hissing? I don’t have this issue with any other controllers I own. I’ve unplugged it.

    Blichmann BrewEasy

    I’ve been on the system for a few years...(this is year #4) I started with 16 gallons of water, and ended up with about 8.5 of good wort...that’s under 60% efficiency. Now, I have my Brew Bucket filled with 6.5 gallons, and other carboy has about 2 galllons off usable wort + 2 gallons of hop...

    ITC-308 wifi is always heating or cooling

    Having same issue here. Fired mine up yesterday for first time in a while, it's always in heating or cooling mode. I have mine heat diff @ 2, and my cooling at 10. Temp is set at 64. Heat should only go on at 61, and cooling at 75. Otherwise, "off". Last night, it was in heating mode for two...

    Hi all- I'm still getting terrible BH efficiency with my BE, and it's driving me nuts at this point. -I have a significant amount of loss. Yesterday, I did a 10 gallon batch of IPA (1.072), and Brewer's Friend has me at 56% BH efficiency: -Conversion 79.5% -Pre Boil 78% -Ending kettle 75%...

    Temmp Controller Setting Question: ITC-308-WIFI

    Hi all- I sent their support an email, but its Sunday, and I got a brew in primary now, and using this temp controller for first time. Question: It seems the controller is always in either heating or cooling mode: Shouldn't everything be "off" if within range? If I have it set at 64, with a...

    Is a 14G Conical Fermenter worth it?

    Thanks for the feedback....Yup. I've got the Spike CF10 with Temp control package, casters, racking arm, clear cap in cart now. Ooof. That's a lot of coin.

    Is a 14G Conical Fermenter worth it?

    As of now, I have a 7G Brew Bucket (love it), and a 6.5G glass carboy. My system is a 10 gallon Blichmann Breweasy......I brew 7/10/12 gallon batches with it. Temp control is chest freezers (2). A 14G Spike/SS Brewtech conical with temp control would run me $900-$1000. For me, it doesn't make...

    Blichman BrewEasy: Vertical to Horizontal

    Hi all- I currently have a 10G 240V Blichmann BrewEasy. (15G MT + 20G BK). Pump, and chiller., I saw the horizontal 2 vessel pilot system they have on their site (https://www.blichmannengineering.com/20-gallon-electric-2-vessel-pilot-system.html), and it got me thinking- Going horizontal...

    Brew Systems: Spike, Blichmann, Sabbco

    Hey hey.....I made jump from partial mash to all grain 3 years ago. I have 10 gallon Blichmann BrewEasy....See the thread on it here. Electric is the way to go IMO....I never saw need for 3 vessel system...Just more to clean. If I can make 10-15 gallon batches at 65% efficiency, that works for...

    You need 5 gallons to cover the boilcoil in 20 gallon boilermaker.

    Let's try this again: AKDY 36" 760 CFM Convertible Wall Mount Range Hood in Silver (GVBI36S) Bought it on WayFair for $182. Suits my needs just fine...Fan is powerful, LED lights which help over the BK...Even has a timer, which I use as my boil timer.

    Agree with previous 2 posters...I'm still trying to get decent efficiency (I would be fine with 65%)...I'm still working on that. As stated, there is a learning curve. That being said, I'm making very good beer, less to cleanup....Not sure a 3 vessel system would ever make sense for me. (I...

    Thanks again. Channeling certainly has been an issue as well, will work on that.

    Blichmann BrewEasy

    My pre-boil OG was 1.048 = 10.5 gallons. Sorry for the confusion, after the mash, I wound up with 12.5 gallons @ 1.040. I boiled down to 10.5 gallons @ 1.048 So i started my 60 minute boil of 10.5 gallons.

    Thanks for the help, it is appreciated. I did not hit my pre boil gravity, I hit 1.048 (1.053 expected) Still dialing in my settings on Brewer's Friend- Had 1.5 gallons extra pre-boil on Sunday: 12.5 gallons in kettle @ 1.040 I boiled off 1.5 gallons in 1 hour (99% power), so now my...
