Hi All,
I don't get on here often. I'll have to do better. Anyway, after brewing beer 5 gallons at a time for the last 7 years I decided it was time to get a little more serious. No, I didn't go all grain. Not yet. I'm still doing mini-mash. But I decided to ditch the fermenting buckets and double my output on brewing days. My wife and my christmas present to ourselves was a 14.5 gallon Blichmann conical fermenter and a new 10 gallon brew pot. Since I'm not as young and foolish as I used to be I added a pump, fittings, and a roll-around tool chest to keep me from trying to lift something I shouldn't. I mounted the pump to the top of the tool chest with double-sided tape. Now I can wheel the rig up to the brew pot after cooling and pump the wort directly into the fermenter. I did my first batch on Monday and everything went well. I have happy Belgian yeasts working on a Wit beer. Can't wait to see how the kegging goes.
Happy Holidays to all!
