Hey guys selling a turnkey setup with yeast propagating/starter capabilities, with lab grade measuring equipment. This is a killer deal, and you’re saving nearly 3k. It’s also setup and ready to brew. Will deliver within 500 miles of Denver, for a few, and will ship at buyers expense. I’m...

I have a 3 20 gallon blichmann kettle w boil coils, high gravity EBC-330 controller, and all 8 of my brews on the new system seems to only yield a loss of 6-8 gravity points. My boil isn't very vigorous, bot a roller, and my boil off is around 1.5 gallons in an hour. Im tired of missing my OG...

Hey guys, I ferment and carbonate with my spike CF15. I have been using their closed loop transfer setup, and have issues with foam. I transfer at around 35-36 degrees F. I was recently told I could use a spunding valve on the Corny keg, and pressurize the corny and use the spunding valve...

Have cash, want to buy a MM2/3 Pro.

I brew on a 3 20g EHERMS system. I have a Hanna HALO ph meter, and a 100GPD RO/DI system. Second brew using RODI water and I know you can’t accurately check PH because there isn’t any ions etc. I’ve been adding my sparge salts to the boil kettle once hotbreak forms and clears like Kal...

So i brewed an oatmeal stout. Recipe is beerwreckdus from NHBA. Starting gravity according to TILT was 1.073 (supposed to be 1.080 according to beer smith, and 1.076 according to recipe) I broke my hydrometer right before post boil/OG reading so no idea other than TILT. Beersmith final is...

I am doing my first water adjustment for my brew tomorrow. I have used EZ and BS and the salt levels differ greatly. The sodium beersmith suggests for a porter are very high, and almost everywhere is recommending lower sodium levels. I also read an exbeeriment on high sodium vs low sodium...

Hey guys First time getting into the yeast side of things. I used a couple calculators (Mr Malty) brewers friend etc, and Im getting different answers. I have 1 pack of WLP002 from Oct 20, 2018. So its kind of old, calculators are saying 45-50% viability. I have a bunch of quarts of...

So I canned a bunch of quart mason jars with sterile wart. My question is, when bumping up a started from a slant or plate etc, is it safe to open one of the big quarts, and use and close, and open again? Won't that defeat the purpose of being sterilized after its exposed to t he open air, when...

so I followed maltose falcons recipe for mason jar pressure cooker sterilized wort. Added 3.2 Oz of DME, a hop pellet and filled with distilled water to the level where the ring meets, shook up, had to pressure cook to 15PSI for 15 minutes Question 1 - it took a really long time like an hour to...

Hey guys made slants with wort/agar agar, tubes of mineral oil, and tubes of wort. Pressure cooked at 15 PSI for 20 minutes once 15 PSI was reached. My question is the wort has particulates of DME floating and suspended in it. It didnt disolve all the way. Is this an issue? I boiled 1 liter of...

poired 1-2 cups of gelatin dissolved in water down through the 1” TC port on top of my Spike CF15 fermenter totally splashing into the beer. Is this going to present a noticeable oxidation issue for me? I didn’t even think to add my hose to funnel and place below beer level! Wasn’t even...

cold crashing in one, just pitched in the other, both cf15s, on a glycol chiller, res at 25-28, and its overshooting the not bubbling yeast down from 70 to 65.5. Obviously because the glycol reservoir is so cold, but I hear people talk all the time about running multiple fermenters off one...

Hey guys, I brew on a 3 20 gallon EHERMS system. Blichmann g2 kettles, blichmann HERMS coil, blichmann boil-coils, full gravity EBC-330 controller, 2 riptide pumps. I ferment in 2 Spike CF15, with glycol cooling and heating blanket setup from Spike. My normal efficiency is around 85-86. Took...

need a nice stir plate for 4-6 liter starters. Don’t need heat etc. but something like the maelstrom etc. let’s see what you got.

have a full set for a blichmann 3 kettle EHERMS system with two 3 way valves on the pump of quick connects. Like new. Still have most packaging. Have 2 brews on them. 9 1/2” 90 quick connects 7 1/2” straight quick connects Retail plus shipping is over 260$ I’d take 220$ shipped OBO.

i applied 5 lbs of co2 to my spike CF15 conical, cold crashed down to 37, and its holding there. Being the first batch in new system, and conical, I removed the pressure and put the blow off tube back, did I screw myself? Or do you only need that co2 pressure when your actually dropping from...

im running a DIY chiller from a 5k BTU AC, in a 38 at cooler at 20 f. Fermenter is a CF15 spike, with cooling coil and package. It’s been sitting at 39.2 w a set of 38 for like 30-45 minutes and is not dropping.. is it normal for glycol chillers to have a hard time dropping temps? Or am I...
