75

Its sitting at 74 degrees. I have been monitoring it for 2 weeks. I also added champagne yeast before I remembered I had mash problems. It still hasn't changed. Im not as worried about the abv as much as I would like it to be less sweet.

I goofed and mashed to high on my barleywine. Right now it sweet and stuck at 1.070. I started at 1.132. I was thinking about adding some dextrose to my secondary to help get my abv closer to 10% and help dry out some of the sweetness. Anyone have any tips advise on doing so.

Thanks for your input. Fabricating is definitely a hobby within its self. I enjoy it almost ax much as brewing

I've done some research and from what I've found I can build one quite a bit cheaper then buying one. I will know 100 percent after I get my dimensions figured out.

I completely agree about not caring about impressing and making better beer. That is the reason I want a conical in the first place. I should have been a little more clear. I would like to be the envy for my ability to build it and (if my calculations are correct) the money I would save vs...

I am thinking I want a 20 gallon conical. Other than that I am still in the planning stages and open to suggestions

I want to build a ss conical. I however don't know anyone with one to get some kind of plans. I have access to c&c water jet to cut my parts and have welders and the ability to weld. I know I need to get 304 stainless steel but im not sure on the gage I need. If anyone has info or advise I...

I have heard that wyeast has had good results from fermenting there bohemian lager at ale temps. I am curious on doing the same thing with wyeast Munich lager. Wondering if anyone has tried this

Stainless is hard on drill bits. I use a low speed high tork dewalt drill. I start with a small pilot hole and slowly keep increasing drill bit sizes untill i run out of sizes and have to use my step bit. I also use this stuff called boelube i get from work on my drill bits it makes them cut...
