Build about 80% done! brewhouse control panel, fermentation space, FV, etc all cleaned and ready for passivation tomorrow. I need to find a slick pump/counterflow mount, build a base for this FV i have in mind, and build a hop spider

Ah I see Ah, I see. Walk-ins with through wall taps are really common place for large draft systems. How many taps do you want? Or is this more of a cold storage thing? I could find the math on the load capabilities of a chest freezer, but tbh, its not the right tool for the job. Chinese made...

The surface area of the hops is a lot of nucleation points. It will cause even terminal beers to bubble and foam when the addition is added. Agreed with above, learn to check gravity, monitor a couple days then package. Please note homebrew hydrometers need to be read at a certain temperature...

Ok so to you aspirant DIY'ers LOOK INTO LOCAL UNIVERSITIES SHOP PROGRAMS. I have access to CNC, welding, millions in tools for $70 a month+ an hour of training on each big tool for liability reasons mostly. I learned CNC this week and will cut my own false bottom soon enough. I bought a cheapie...

Hopefully this is the right section or an admin moves this. First about me and the arc of my brewing life so far, then I will post the build. I cut my teeth on homebrewtalk, obsessive novice to competitive aspirant to dreaming entrepreneur. Well the day came and I started my first brewery. A...
