Welcome aboard and good luck with your ale!Today I created an account here and later I'll bottle my American Light Ale (light top-fermentation beer with a lot of american hops for aroma).

New to the forum. What do you guys do to make room?
Slowly working on my HERMS HLT
I love smokey beer. It's like being a hop head with smoke, NEVER can have too much smoke. Unless you're talking peat.i smoked some pale malt WAY WAY back, was real rough at first but after sitting in the keg/bottles for a couple months turned really smooth and sweet...
And for beer today, i'm drinking it...and STILL having to walk back and forth to the fridge for it. But unfortunately the walk isn't long enough to burn the calories, so i also bought an alarm clock to get up for work tomorrow to burn more calories...

Bleack. [emoji13]
Peat to me tastes like burn circuit boards.
Still slowly working on it.
I don't know what I'm doing.
The coil is a 50 ft er from Home Depot, wrapped around a corny keg; it's 11" tall which is quite high, so I assume some of it will be exposed to air versus in hot water after I mash in. The holes in the keg are close to each other which in hindsight, I regret, but anything else would push the coil up vertically even more. I figure the bottom valve can have it's handle on the side (vertical position) and the valve on the bottom of the HERMS coil can be mounted in normal position. We'll see. When I get time to work on this I rush through it pretty hard. That step bit from Harbor Freight is magical. Where has it been all my life. I should have made the top hole in the keg much wider to fit the coil in easier. The coil will be loaded up so that the inlet/outlet are on the same plane. I'll solder a brace made out of solid strand wire once everything is all fitted up. The coil will probably have to be supported at the bottom but we'll see. I have to ground down the solder as it looks terrible right now. I bought some weldless compression fittings from aliexpress.com a long time ago, they have burrs inside of them but otherwise are nice.

Never tried peat myself....But it makes sense, i don't know who thought up smoking with mud...apparently some people like scotch whiskey though...funny thing about the smoked beer i made, i was still a tween and tried selling it. sold a twelver for 5 bucks, 10-12 years later working at the grocery i over heard someone talking about it. small town and all i guess, lol
Can you use it for canoeing?i put wet green malt in the oven at 120f to see if i can get a protein rest in the kernel, instead of having to do it in the mash....i also got a HUGE f'in mash paddle in the mail! thing looks like it's intended for 50 gal batches!

Test fitting. The coil leans over and separates to the unsupported side hence the wire to try to keep it together. More to come, 5 minutes of work at a time.
