    Utah EBC-SV High Gravity 240V Controller

    Greetings all. I'm building my own control panel and do not have a need for this unit anymore. I bought it new on 11/27/2015 from High Gravity and it has performed very well. I used it for BIAB initially and for the last year on my 3 kettle eHERMS system. It controls mash temps on my current...

    Oktoberfest slow to ferment

    Greetings all. I know bubble activity isn't necessarily an indication of fermentation but it's been two full days since I finished 11 gallons of Oktoberfest and I barely see any activity in the airlock. Post boil gravity called for 1.059 and I was at 1.064. I used 3 packs of Oktoberfest...

    Stuck mash with new setup.

    Greetings all. 8 days ago I brewed a Murphy's Stout with about 16 pounds of Two Row and everything went well. Yesterday I brewed a Golden Promise SMASH with 20 pounds of GP and almost instantly got a stuck mash. Grind was set at .032" on both brews. My setup consists of going from BIAB in...

    Nitro setup only pours foam

    Hey all. I recently got my nitro tap all setup but it only pours foam, really creamy tasty foam. Anyways, after about 5 minutes it settles down and I have maybe a third glass of beer. I've tried at various pressures between 10 psi and 30 psi without luck. Same result every time. I have 6'...

    Going Electric

    I received my 5500W 240V heating element from Bobby M tonight and wired it up. I'm dropping my brew kettle off at a shop tomorrow to have the 2" tri-clamp fitting tiged in and I should be good to go. I'm just waiting on my false bottom from Jaybird and I'll be rocking. Hopefully I can squeeze...

    New Setup

    I’m in the process of getting a new setup. I currently have a 20 gallon ss pot with 2x 10 gallon rubbermaid coolers. I’m looking to reduce my footprint and go with a single or 2 vessel setup but I haven’t decided yet. I just bought a controller that will handle 1x 240v element and 1x pump...

    Orange coolers versus new pot for mash

    I've done a few brews with my rubbermaid coolers and for the most part they serve me well. The only complaint is I can't do 10 gallons of the high gravity stuff. I've recently been thinking about just getting another 20 gallon pot and converting it into a mash tun, specifically a recirculating...

    Low keg carbonation

    13 days ago I put 5 gallons of a smash into a keg and 5 gallons of a nut brown into a keg. I had been carbonating them for 5 days at 68 degrees in my basement. I then placed them in my chest freezer, set the Johnson controller and went to bed. The next evening I checked on it and both beers...

    New brew pot. Suggestions?

    Hey all, Looking for a new brew pot. A couple years ago I bought a Heir keg fridge and it came with an empty quarter barrel keg that I converted to a brew pot. It does fine for some 5 gallon batches but I would like a pot I can comfortably do 10 gallon batches in. I was considering a 20...

    Another keezer build

    I picked up a chest freezer off the local classifieds late last year for $75. I started building the collar last night with 2x4's and used silicone to seal it to the bottom of the freezer. I took the handle off the lid because I want to use 1x8 trim and have it flush with the top of the lid...

    Quarter Keg for brewing

    I'm new and don't have anything yet. I was planning on picking up a couple plastic carboys and bottling them in corrnies. I do have an empty quarter keg. Can I cut the top off of it and use that to cook with? I'm pretty good with metal so this would not be a problem. Would I need to fab a...
