I suggest that you use metal clamps on all fittings instead of platics. And use the clam on the barbed fittings if you don't want to waste some precious liquid :) If you want to go homebrew kegging you would probably change that sanke connector for some Pin or Ball Lock connectors in order to...

Usually, I plan partygyle using gravity points. (not O.G.) All the gravity points can be split into the two beers. (and even more if you fly sparge). as long as your first runnings are higher O.G. than your Big Beer pre-Boil gravity. see this for gravity points explanation ...

You are right, I used the beersmith "light Body" setting, I think you could lower (or remove) the CaraFoam and Flaked wheat and bump the 2-row to compensate if you find it not dry enough. but I'm personally not a Fan of CaraFoam. Let me know if you Pick that Chocolate flavor in your clone, I...

I don't remember which brand Malt they uses, however, this would not do so much of a difference. I would try to target mash temperature to aim the target F.G. I think the lug thread mouthfeel is pretty balanced, not too sugary and not too dry. I'd aim for 64 C mash temp. I always wondered from...

I know for a fact that they use WLP029 When doing the brewery tour I saw the whiteboard with all the yeast and Lug tread was WLP029 I have a picture of the board, (but the guys asked me not to put it on the web) However, here is just the part with the lug thread information (WLP029, 6th...

Don't forget to post pics :)

The problem is if you wait too long before filling it (with beer for example) you also rise the chances of bacterias multiplying in the barrel (most of the time some brett yeast). There are some workaround to prevent the staves from drying. We put some towels on the barrel and spray them every...

Congrats on your find ! Easiest way is to build your own rack. I build mine just with two simple 2x4 plank and a round saw. I never used a barrel that is not filled completely, I have been told not to do that, what we do is collaborative brew with homebrewers in my city, its very fun, you get...

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but This is the Best Tip I got from anywhere since a while! This back to black does a pretty insanely awesome job. I recommend it to anyone wondering what they should do with that.

Like raouliii said, :) , must be p^retty close

After watching Again, This switch might be only for the defrost.. since the Defrost relay is connected with the NC contact. Is this a freezer only unit? or there is a way to set the "cold" level and a sensor? It looks like it runs until its frozen then stops. You could put the St-1000...

The "cold control" (called temp control on the bottom schematic...) with red and yellow wire on it looks like what you would like to replace wit h the STC-1000 relay. if you do that the only thing that could force the compressor off other than the STC-1000) would be the Defrost Timer. I think...

in my setup, my kettle is almost a 1.5 X diameter than my electric stovetop element, there is absolutely no risk of burning that blanket... but yhea, one could use brain functions to identify potential danger in his particular setup. using bubble wrap is better indeed .

Hell yhea :) ITC-310T I hope :)

If you have difficulties gettign to boil temp, you can try to isolate the outside of your kettle using high temp bubble wrap is definately a better idea if you can source it.

I use the yeast cake of WLP001 for the Barleywine so I just took a little bit of it and made starter for the Second runnings as well. Its a little less dry than Nothingham (Ithink) but its pretty neutral and I wanted to try this yeast :P I think it will be similar.

Just a heads up, I did an Hybrid IPA with the second runnings, I ended with 15L with a OG of 1.055 I used the following hops that I had in stock : 17g Chinook - 60 min 13g EKG - 60 min 43g EKG - 20 min I just tasted the sampler (now at 1.016) and it taste REALLY GOOD ( i was afraid because the...

Thanks, I'll have to try it, (WITH the maple) I really hope it does taste, just that I have read this thread and I was concerned it would show in the taste. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=273036 There was no Flaked Rye at my LHBS, I took the equivalent in gravity points of...

i'm currently planning this brew soon, I'll pitch on the yeast cake of a light Blond Ale I have in the Carboy. I'm thinking of replacing the maple syrup by its equivalent gravity points in american 2-row, what do you guys think? The maple syrup is expensive at the grocery and I don't have a...
