Hello from West Chester, PA

Greetings All!

My name is Dan Gaffney and I have been a long time lurker w/o any posts but a moderate all-grain brewer (I have a few under my belt). I started with my swmbo purchasing a Brooklyn HomeBrew IPA kit for Christmas two years ago (and it doesn't help much that I live next to Victory Brewing Company). I just finished brewing a SMASH MO/EKG/S04 ESB which I'm pretty excited for and will let everyone know how it turns out:

3 gal batch

7lb MO mash @ 154F for 60min
1oz EKG FWH
60 min boil
1oz EKG @ 10min
1 Whirlfloc tablet @ 10 min
1 pack S-04

I am an electrical engineer and look forward to designing my own electric/automated brewery soon as I currently use the typical stove top/water cooler mash tun set up.

Welcome to the forum, from Minnesota!

I did a MO/EKG/S-04 SMaSH a couple years ago. Turned out to be one of my favorites. Might have to brew that one again.

Welcome Dan from West Chester!!!

I lived there for 22yrs, and may just get back again (now in Lansdale). I was in E Bradford Twp most of the time and the last 6 over by E High School. Loved when I was walking distance to the town. Great place.

Recipe sounds good, hope it turns out well, post your thoughts. I just got a Grainfather, as setting up a brewery in my basement here isn't ideal (100yr old house and basement ceiling is about 7' at most). I figure this is a great way to get inside brewing (was on propane outside, cold now man!). If I move ever again, and back to DubC, I will get the space for an outside brew shed, or a deep enough basement!

Cheers! :mug:
