I'm in the process of building an electric kettle with a PID (will use it as both a water heater for strike/sparge water AND a boil kettle). While heating water there will be no re-circulation (all gravity system). Will be using a Blichmann kettle with a Blichmann BoilCoil and an Auber PID...
I'm trying to replicate the Honey Cream Ale extract kit from Williams Brewing HERE
This is the first recipe I have made myself so any feedback would be appreciated ( I have done many AG kits ). I intend to put the honey in at flameout (same as the kit from Williams Brewing). Here is the...
