Greetings Brewers, Currently we brew 11 gallon (to the fermenter) batches using a single tier (two pump) all stainless steel kettle setup. We have two 20 gallon kettles (HLT and Mash Tun) and a 25 gallon stainless brew kettle. For 12 years we used this system it produces good beer etc. My only...

Greetings Brewers. I have a single tier 3 natural gas burner system with two march pumps for transferring my hot liquor and another for wort to boil kettle. My problem is how to easily control the amount of wort going from the mash tun into the boil kettle. I use a march pump and a 1/2 in ball...

Greetings Brewers: Just wondering if anyone has any feedback about the dimensions of a ss 20 gallon mash tun. Some are tall and thinner in diameter (Tall Boy), and some are say 20 OD and 16 inches high, and in a nutshell somewhat cheaper. Would like to go that route instead of say a "tall...

Brewers, I just purchased a 25 gallon boil kettle and want to use my bayou classic 20 gallon kettle as my new mash tun. My question: Can I use my false bottom from my sanke keggle in the new 25 gallon brew pot. The false bottom I used on the sanke will be about 15 inches in diameter and the new...

I've been brewing all grain for 7 years and now I have an issue. Had some pump problems and lost track of sparging a Rye IPA. Sparged too fast and the og was 10 points low. I know....any the hop bill was for a 1070 beer not a 1060. Needless to say it's kegged and too bitter to be good. drinkable...

Brewers, I just made a heat stick using all stainless triclamp piping. Pricey, yes but it works awesome and is safe too..double bonus. One question; I would like to purchase a controller like the Johnson A419 to control the temperatures of the heat stick. I'm using a 1500 watt hot water heater...

Brewers, Just put a computer fan inside my keezer. Work's great. But... I put in a computer fan that has red LED lights that are on when the fan runs and that is 24-7-365...Now would Red LED with a wavelength of 633 nanometers tend to skunk the beer that is exposed in the 5 feet of...

Brewers, I'm trying to get rid of some caramel 120. When a recipe calls for say 40 60 or 80 can you scale down the 120 and make up the difference with your base malt. I'm not going to enter any contest with this stuff. Just want to use the 120. Thanks Brewers...Cheers..Simie

Brewers, I purchased a weldless thru fitting for my boil kettle. It's a 20 gallon bayou burner kettle. I want to put in the thru fitting and was wondering how far up from the bottom can you safely locate the hole for the pass thru? I would then put an elbow down to within about a 1/2 inch from...

Greetings Brewers: Has anyone ever bought and used a brick of yeast. I can buy a brick of say fermentis US-05 much cheaper than a box of the same yeast in 28 packs. We primarily brew IPA's and pale ales and US-05 works for most of our beers. Anyone see an issue with this? I know sterilization...

This is strange: We've been brewing five years and have never encounter this. After more than a usual mash (a fine amarillo pale ale), sparge, and vigorous boil we cooled the wort to 68 degrees, then we did something new to us. I had a friend make up a paddle with 2 blades at 180 degrees and...

Brewers, I'm sure this has been covered somewhere before, but could someone direct me to wiring in a Love controller TSS2 2100 into a newer freezer with an already computerized controller. The current computerized controller only controls the freezing and I will be putting in heating and...
