long story short, I have an extra 1 hp pool pump motor without housing. If I added a new impeller and housing, do you think it would generate enough pressure for CIP pump...

My efficiency is horrible, takes 2 hours to reach target mash gravity! I think its due to mash compaction in my 25 gallon megapot. Currently I have to run 2qts per lb, but I would like to use less. I also think the false bottom is way to high above the mash. its something like 3 inches from the...

I want to share my experience that I had yesterday after I almost killing my dog. On top of everything my father came home yesterday from heart surgery. (fun week) Over the last month I had two 15 gallon blondes fermenting, around last Thursday I decided to transfer my beer to kegs. I...

So I don't spend much time making ipa's (not really my pallet), but I am making 45 gallons for my buddy's bachelor party. They put in a request for 15 gallon 6.5-7 ish session style ipa. I need what everyone would agree with as being the "best" or most popular all grain recipe. Thank you in advance

has anyone ever use one of these? Looks interesting for 15 gallon batches. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Conical-Fermenter-tank-80-L-Winemaking-Homebrewing-Beer-Wine-fermentation-/131293505274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e91b3e6fa#shpCntId

Is this possible with a large blowoff? any side effect?

Have any of you guys had issues with it running properly after a certain period of time? Mine gets a little funky from time to time.

So right now I have my whole system set up with a brewtroller and electronic valves with hard plumbing. My question to you is.. How do you figure out what your mash gravity is going to be if I run full auto? I understand the principles, I just want to know if i can accurately hit my gravity...

I remember somewhere that someone built a tap list with facial recognition, can someone help me find it? Looking everywhere.

I dont know why, but it seemed to click, impeller is not pushing liquid, and wont work anymore. Sadly I have only used it 5-6 times. How is there warranty? (only on forums because its after 5 pm for them)

Such a rookie move. Made a 3.5 liter starter with WLP001 yesterday. I was in a rush to get to a engagement party and threw the starter on the stir plate after it chilled and forgot the foil top...... Use or throw? Its been 18 hours or so.

Im getting tired of taking apart each ball valve to clean the insides of them. I could be 100% CIP if i didnt have to take apart each valve and clean the insides between batches. It makes it even more of a pain since my rig is 100% hard plumed. What i was thinking. Adding in "in" and "out"...

I know this has been talked about before. are they more efficient?

Currently I have 10 12v threaded valves on my brewstand, everything is tri clover and im ready to remove all threads finally. What do you guys think about attaching a stepper motor to butterfly valves, and controlling them with an Audrino?

I moved not to long ago and ever since I did this my water quality is garbage. So bad that it makes my beer undrinkable. I went ahead and decided to build an external 55 gal water system for my brewery that will operate with the brewery during autofill operations. I figured I can also use it...

This seems easy but at this point it isn't. This is my 3rd 15 gallon batch since I have moved to a new home and can't get my water to taste right. I have dumped 45 gallons of beer in the last month!! Every time my beer gets a few weeks old, it gets a chlorine taste. It's disgusting and in won't...

So I have two 15 gal batches going: a pale ale at OG 1.057 sitting at 1.020 using a WY California ale yeast and a blonde OG 1.039 sitting at 1.16 using Nottingham. I have them fermenting at 63 degrees. Is this to low? Definitely a stuck fermentation. It's been my fault because I haven't been...

I brew all grain and I need a quick recipe. I have 4 weeks and and include carb time (forced carb). I already am making biermuchers centennial blonde. But I need something else. These batches are 15 gal AG. and I can store at any temp. Any ideas would be awesome!

I have two chugger pumps that I ordered. First one head came with an 815 impeller and the other an 805. Here's my issue: when the 815 is cold the pump works fine but makes an odd noise in general. But when the liquid temps circulating get 120+ the pump stops working?? I'm not sure what the issue...

I'm over here in Germany at light and building, when I come across this gem. German device we could all use! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
