Did a 10 gallon batch of this with White labs English ale yeast 2packs 1.4L starter...pitched at 65 up to 68 over 3 days. Wonderful beer...even my neighbors from the UK love it. Was hazy for about a week and the cleared up.

I have upgraded the size of my Keezer and need to find a home for my old one. Holds 3 Kegs, has two tap holes. Little old but works great. Has normal wear and tear. This is FREE for anyone willing to pick it up. I'm located in Aberdeen NC.

if your doing a 5 gallon batch that sounds like you are not boiling enough mash I usually do about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the volume of my mash. I've read traditionally it's up to 1/3rd. I also make sure the first one is more grist than liquid. hope that helps.

So two months ago I followed the multi step mash temps the with my RIMS system. I added two decoctions to get it from the first protein rest to the second and then to the second sacc. I am a firm believer in decoctions for German beer. note..I have always struggled to get my Hefeweizens...

PM'd about Chronical

Looks like $13 between usps and ups.

Yea I do! I am currently out of town for some training and won't be able to ship until next weekend if that's ok. Will check shipping tomorrow when I get to a computer.

Thanks everyone for your input. It has been helpful. BLUF..if the spike owners are telling me they don't have to spend hours hand cleaning their tanks before the first use and only use a PBW wash with no "black lines' after...that's enough for me. I agree the current level of oils are not...

I have cleaned the tank with PBW, both types of star stan, TSP and hand washed with a clean paper towel...and the line is still there after 10 batches. I doubt it makes a flavor difference. I just talked to a colleague of mine who has 2 ss unitanks too and says he has the exact same issue. I...

I currently have a 14 gal ss unitank which overall has been a wonderful upgrade for me. My biggest complaint with the tank is the fact that I paid all that money for a tank that took hours to hand scrub with TSP to get the manufacturing oils "off". I still get a bit of a black line at the top...

Higher math always hurt my brain..Non-Engineer. I am General Surgeon...the hands-on and troubleshooting aspects with brewing really got me interested. Plus it allows me to be creative without serious repercussions if something doesn't work out.

Bump.

Recently switched to a keezer with more taps and no longer need this. I'm keeping the taps, but the mini-shanks and bolts are here. Also lost the foam band that goes around the bottom. Located in Augusta GA 40 + shipping

I saw this and I am very impressed. I would hook my RIMS tube up to it. Has anyone else seen one yet or brewed with one? Or even interested like myself? https://www.brewershardware.com/The-BH15-Pilot-System.html
