There isn't really a point to using triclover fittings if you aren't able to have them for every part of your system. I can't find any affordable options for triclover pumps or heat exchangers. I know people use npt to triclover fittings, but having threaded ferrules completely defeats the...

What exactly do you think a professional brewer is capable of doing that a homebrewer can't do? Is it that they have a lot more experience? Then should we disqualify a homebrewer that has brewed hundreds of batches? Things work a lot differently at 10, 20 30, 75bbl than they do at 10 gallons. A...

The melanoiden malt will give you some of the flavor...

I would hesitate to do a ramp mash the way Duvel does. They malt in-house to facilitate that mash regime, you may find that with commercially available malt you will have a thin and headless beer. If your heart is set on a step mash, try finding some under modified malt and do a protein rest and...
