Joining the pump crowd for the first time. No more lifting the kettle four feet!

A dear friend sent this to me. It was ordered a year ago a couple days after the news broke about Club Q shootings and how brewery co-owner and Army veteran, Rich Fierro helped subdue the shooter.

Odds and sods yesterday. Amazon order with an 8 oz bottle of Cook's root beer extract. Never tried it, but seems the Zatarain is no longer available. A little spendy, but I'll give it a try.

Also got some replacement spigots for a bottling bucket. Of course they sell them in packages of 4. My wife will be selling the other 3 at an estate sale after I kick off.

Please post your opinion on the root beer extract?

I'm on my last bottle of Zat's so I'd be interested. Thanks.

Good idea. When I get a chance to try some I'll post a new thread in the coffee/soda section. I still have a little Zats, so maybe a side by side.

Extended malt pipe, boiler extension and recirculation arm extension for my BrewZilla 3.1.1.

Should give me a fair bit more flexibility brewing really big IPAs now I can do ~9kg grain without my efficiency massively being hit.

Great fermenter. Where'd you get the coil?

 

[fluketamer]

its a temp twister from morebeer i think i paid 35$ with discount
the whole system was less than 100$ with shipping
which included lid, temp twister, fermenter ,and thermowell

it was either this or the ball and keg temp control coil which was more money

this fits in fermzilla and fermonster and a lot of ss fermenters and also a 6 gallon bucket if you want.

i am hoping to get it down to 54 in a 70 degree room with the recirculating ice box. i think it should work with insulation.

trying it out tomorow

cheers

Please report back how the filter worked, I might consider the same for my plate chiller.

Santa came early in response to Ss Brewtech's cyber sales week. New addition pretty much maxes out the footprint for my brew kitchen. Looking forward to ramping up production with dual 5 gallon batches.

 

[jmstone617]

Are they connected in series to the cooler for temp control?

 

[bike2brew]

No, they are independent of each other to facillitate production of different beer recipes. The one w/ the airlock and temperature controller is the ony active fermentor at this time. You can see hose and the inactive controller in the background for the other (new) fermenter. The cooler will hold one large and 3 small ice packs to effectively keep temperature in the 60's for about 12 hrs (change x2 daily) when both are in action. I have previously run dual 5 gal and 2.5 gal batches (different beers) and early on ran 2.5 gal split batches (Ss Brewbucket Mini) of a 5 gal single recipe before upgrading to add the 7.5 gallon brew bucket. My production w/ the current set-up is exclusively devoted to brewing a variety of ales based fermentation/temperature limitations . The addition of the new fermentor is likely the final upgrade and finish to the brewery unless my F-in-law and I change our consumption habits to better keep up with production.

I finally opened up the purse strings and bought new poppets, gas and beer lines, gas and beer qd's, and some star San. Time to rebuild and replace some old equipment. Rebuilding all 8 kegs.

Trying to imagine being a judge of lambics and other "wild" ferments. Must have to be a brave soul

Cheers!
