OP , this is what I use for pulling samples. Purge it a few times with star San, then pull a sample. Tubing fits through the airlock hole no prob. To clean repeat the process with some pbw and fill with sanitizer for storage. DEPEPE 2pcs 100ml Large Plastic Syringe with 2pcs 47inch Handy Plastic...

While mine was out of commission due to the circuit board self destructing and waiting for replacement parts, I ended up just gathering the rest of the parts needed to complete my 240v 5500w system. So I heat water and boil with that rather than the robo. Once I replaced the board on the...

I've had good experience using a Wilser bag as a mash filter inside the mash pipe. However, I did silver solder the false bottom to the bottom rim of the mash pipe so it does not budge. I don't trust it as two separate pieces after having it fall out from underneath a load of grain, rather be...

I've had good experience with stuffing about 3-4 oz into my cream whipper with 1 cup of vodka and doing a n2o infusion. Strain the liquid and add to the fermenter.

Just weigh it. Record your empty weight, fill your fermenter, tare out the fermenter weight, then calculate your volume based off the weight of the wort. No fiddling around with vectors for infection .

I use my robobrew as an electric mash tun ever since upgrading to a 240v controller and 5500 watt element in my SS brewtech kettle. I had to replace the circuit board in my robobrew after a hardware failure, since then it has been working fine, but I just use it as a mlt rather than a boil...

Seems like a healthy pitch to me, blew the lid off your bucket.

It was pretty close, drinking it in the taproom last month and reflecting on my attempt I felt I was closer than I originally thought. If you have citra on hand I would save it all for a hopstand/whirlpool rather than 15 minute additions The ZG version is such a flavorful but subtle beer, it's...

Finally! Someone else taking a crack at this beer. Little wolf is a personal favorite of mine. My closest attempt is as follows: 7lbs marris otter 8oz c20 1lb 6oz Munich 2 9.9oz naked golden oats 4ml of hopshot @ 60 min 28g Cascade for 30 min whirlpool at 71c 28g Columbus for 30 min whirlpool...

Same! I'm off 84 in northern CT. Setup to do slants, glycerin frozen stocks and isotonic storage. I'll pm you once finals are over this week and I'm on days off from work.

Harvested dregs from a bottle of the blood peach lambic style ale. Might go down this weekend to see if they still have the whiskey sour bottles from the other weekend

I've got dregs cultured and slanted from Firestone walker, OEC brewing here in CT and Two Roads from their newly opened mixed culture barrel facility. Those are just my non commercial cultures, I've got another 15 or so slanted and frozen stocks of commercially available strains of clean and...

I ordered the parts through brewerdude for about $35 or so. I had bought the unit from one of the online vendors through their ebay presence, for a deep discount as it was a "ding and dent" model, which only carried a 60 day warranty which I was way past. Just brought the system up to a test...

Finally got around to replacing the panel, haven't completed yet, but wanted to provide an update as I'm in the process. I have suspicious feeling the circuit board was not the problem. Take a look at the attached photo , scorched terminals and cracked wiring on the power supply wiring. Easy to...

Pivo inspired pils in the glass and delicious!

Once I repair mine I will let you know. Once I get my circuit board and screen replaced it is moving to kettle sour/ sparge water duty since upgrading to a 240v system with a controller.

I use growlers with airlocks to store several mixed/sour cultures. Usually just give it a good swirl and co pitch, then top off with whatever excess runnings I've gathered and boiled to keep feeding the culture. For clean yeast I wouldn't go through the trouble , throw it in a jar in the fridge...

While I've had a good time overall using mine setup with a steam Slayer, my last brew day ended up outside with propane. While the robobrew was getting temp up to boil I heard a pop followed by the smell of melted circuitry. So I am currently awaiting my replacement board and screen, which is...

I've done several Porter's and stouts using hordinal , pitching at normal rates and fermenting at 66-68f resulted in a beer without the fruity estery character that the yeast puts out at high temps but still at typical kviek turnaround times.
