I updated the original post with what’s left.

Still have a few things left. Just updated the original posting.

PM me and I’ll send my cell number.

My interest in brewing has faded and I’ve made the decision to get out of the hobby. I have a 25 gallon electric brewing system setup in my basement with a lot of equipment. I’m located in Southeastern Connecticut. Shipping is not an option. Other than the CO bottles everything was purchased...

Have you brewed one? mind posting your recipe?

Has anyone brewed any more Celebration Clones? I'm going to brew another batch and I'm thinking of making Centennial hops more prominent. What about using only Centennial in the boil and Cascade and Centennial for dry hop?

Yeah, I guess it’s really not necessary. They will tell you when fermentation is complete.

Yeah I'll have to do that I guess. I have Tilts in both so I'll have a good idea what the yeast is doing.

Just brewed a session IPA yesterday and forgot to put the inlet pipe for the beer outlet valves on before filling the fermenters. I guess I'll have to siphon the beer out now. No easy way to pull a gravity sample either. Hopefully I'll never make that mistake again.

I have two Grainfather Conical Fermenters and the manufacture recommends dumping yeast and sediment every 2-3 days. Experience with these fermenters shows when fermenting ales if this is not done the dump valve has a very hard time getting rid of the yeast and sediment. Can lager yeast be...

Wanted to start a thread dedicated to the Grainfather Conical Fermenters. I have two Grainfather Conical Fermenters and their glycol chiller. No big complaints yet. I do have issues with the temperature controller correctly attaching to the fermenter. I end up having to use tape on each side...

I just contacted customer support in New Zealand and they sent me a couple replacement o-ring sets for the dual valve.

I am finally getting around to brewing a Boston Lager clone. Anyone brew one lately?

I brewed a German Pilsner warm fermented at 65F with 34/70 yeast. It took 3rd place in the First Round of the National Homebrew Competition in Boston this year. It didn't place in the final round. But, all of the feedback from the judges was positive as far as fermentation and lagering was...
