Whole Nother Level Brewing
I've only done 1 sabro beer so far which was mosaic/sabro, and it came out great. Leaned more on the sabro in the dryhop, mainly due to the mosaic being whole leaf, but overall it was 50/50. Also tried Idaho gem with (what else?) mosaic, and wasn't super impressed. But my hoppy beer procedures definitely need some work, so that could be a factor as well.
I got 5 pounds of green decaf coffee beans to roast for my wife.

Didn't come in the mail. I had to go pick it up. But.....
SCORE! My son works in maintenance at the hospital. He calls the other day and asks if I want another refrigerator. I say maybe. He says it's a 3 door True commercial. I say definitely. What's wrong with it? He says not keeping the temp that the lab requires. So I picked it up yesterday. This thing is huge. Washed all the aids and covid off of it. Plugged it in. Everything runs. No cooling. Had to Frankenstein 3 gauge manifolds to get all the connections right. It was 3 ounces low of 134. Schrader valve was leaking. Fixed. Been holding 33 degrees for 2 hours.

Jolly Alcoholic - In Remembrance 2023
nothing came IN the mail for me today, but i printed a shipping label to send out some of my homemalt to a fellow HBT'r......just got to stay sober long enough to drive to the UPS Store to drop it off now.......
should be interesting what they say about it! lol

What an epic score! And that helps explain why a hospital-issued Tylenol costs $200
Cheers!
I love Mosaic, but I'm a bigger fan of Citra, for the style. I still think I'm going to do an all Sabro, just to see what it brings. That's how I learned with Strata!
I'm thinking a Mosaic/Strata hazy is in my brewing future.
My 10 gallon Spike kettle arrived today! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had to order the ball valve separately, so right now it's a really bad $200 sieve. It was 100% my fault, though, because I didn't read the description closely enough. I jumped online to order my valve, and it's on its way. Spike even agreed to ship it for free, since it would have shipped free with my kettle. That's really top-notch customer service!
My ball valve should be here in a few days (I"m guessing Monday or Tuesday. I'm planning to brew with it next weekend!

You'll love it. I love my 15 gallon Spike kettle.

Yep. I'm stoked. This is the second one I got from the hospital. The first one was just a residential small frigidaire that wouldn't keep temp. But it's just a horrible design. I'll probably never get it to not freeze up. And you're right about the cost of things. They threw this thing away. It's not very old. This same model sells right now for $5500. I understand they don't trust it to house the nearly $3 million in drugs that was in this thing, but there are companies that specialize in buying used hospital equipment. Apparently this facility has had some liability concerns. Anyway, Yay me!What an epic score! And that helps explain why a hospital-issued Tylenol costs $200
Cheers!

And.... I got this thing yesterday. Figured I would try this method sense I can't seem to make good homebrew anymore. I really don't get it. My commercial brews have been great, my homebrew has been horrible. I think I've got a bug in the system. Either that or every one of my thermometers are bad. Throwing away all soft parts and giving everything else an acid bath.

Somebody either really likes Andechs, or can't cope with ringpulls on cans....
Woo hoo.... Cant wait for my next brew.

One of the boxes with plastic bag tenting? They're fun...
Beer and chorizo delivery from @TwistedGray and some custom bottle caps from bottlemark. Thanks @TwistedGray! Already digging into the sausage now!

Lol, those cookies got slaughtered (as I expected). Oh well...eat the crumbs; they're good : )
Glad you like the chorizo!!
Anddddddddddd enjoy. I now realize that I didn't send info on those HBs, oops.
Lol crumbly or not... They're pretty tasty. When you get chance, I would love to know more about the homebrew. Looking forward to trying everything. Cheers!

Spikes gas manifold, hopefully to be able to make closed transfers possible. Now looking at needle valves for small pressure increments.
Needle valves control flow, not pressure. For fine pressure increments, you need a precision regulator with a high sensitivity, high precision gauge.

Got the pressure gauge and the PRV already, just something to control the incoming gas flow.Needle valves control flow, not pressure. For fine pressure increments, you need a precision regulator with a high sensitivity, high precision gauge.
