I'm starting my new brewery build. It is going to be a hybrid of sorts, I will be using the Brutus-20 method with a dedicated E-Herms heat exchanger using a 3 gallon corny keg. I started getting the electronics in, but I'm still looking for a control panel that I like. I went with the cheaper...

Here is what I am trying to accomplish. -110v 2000w -(2) 12v pumps (2amp?) -PID with alarm for the HLT (only used as thermometer for the time being) -PID controlled eHERMS (2000w in a 3 gallon keg with 20' 1/2" coil) I hacked up the 110v BIAB diagram that P-J made to fit what I (think)...

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my brewery and while doing so I bought some kegs from a buddy and he threw in a 3 gallon keg that can't be used for storing beer or fermenting because someone along the line welded part of the bottom. So my question to you guys is what should I do with...

With the gift getting season approaching I'm trying to figure out what I need to move to RIMS. My current setup includes Keggle, 10g watercooler MLT, and a HLT. I am brewing 10g batches. What I already know: -120V -chugger pump (coming soon) -I will be able to figure out the fittings and piping...

I used Wyeast Lacto with a 2L 1.030 OG DME starter. It has been going pretty well as far as I can tell. I have it on a hot plate that keeps it at 100*F. Questions: - Should I be stirring it? - Do I pitch in the pellicle also? - I plan on saving some, do I save the stuff at the bottom, the...

Found this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E7NYY8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 while looking at the $300 coolbots. Does anyone have any experience using these with window units for a fermentation chamber. I don't think I could DIY one for any cheap than that.

I live in West Central Florida and I haven't seen too much info anywhere about growing hops in the area, so I will keep a log on here as I go and hopefully help some people out as well as receive input. Zone: 10, according to the UF extension office only info I could find Didn't have a single...

This is my first attempt at an original recipe, It was inspired by Cigar City Brewings Tocobaga Red Ale, It came out similar, but deliciously different. It really doesn't fall into any specific category, so I figured IPA would be best at 60 IBU. This has turned out to be my favorite brew I have...

I finally got around to building a three tier stand and am looking into sparge techniques. From what I have read on other posts, the cheapest, easiest, and most simple solution is to use silicon tubing for fly sparge. I just can't seem to find any good descriptions or pictures as to how exactly...

I recently upgraded to a keggle from a turkey pot and wanted to make the most use out of the turkey pot and decided on an eHLT. Now I just want to make sure that I have it right. I plan on using a temp controller like THIS and wire it to a 1500watt heating element. Seems simple enough and now I...

My first IPA. it started as a two hearted clone but I added 1# vienna. It came out way better than I expected. 11.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 84.6 % 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 7.7 % 1.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 7.7 % 1.00 oz Centennial...

never mind, just figured it out and now I cant figure out how to delete this.

I can't find any info at all about the Cigar City Tocobaga Red ale, My palate is not nearly good enough to be able to tell what's in it. I haven't had anything that tastes even close to it. I will be taking a trip to the C.C. Brewery soon and hopefully get some insight there. I'd like to brew...
