During the week you have more options. Theres caraway fire and safety on Augusta rd in west Columbia. Or there's praxair and airgas on bluff rd in Columbia right off i77 probably easier to get to those from the VA
Twas me! I'm gonna be friends with this guy...Welcome toona! Nice setup! I guess you're the only one on here with a pump. I think someone else here was gonna try to get some pumps soon and had some questions or wanted to see it in person or something.
Also it looks like you don't have burners, so I guess ur all electric? How do you like that?
Fantastic setup. I've been wanting to incorporate a pump(s) into my system. I'm tired of lifting heavy ass liquor tanks and such. But I still can't wrap my head around some of the nuances of using a pump. I really want to see one in person. We are about to become good friends, buddy!View attachment 396416. Ok that's what happened? Here's my setup just for kicks. I'll talk to Kevin about that brew club. Always needing feedback on brews and how to improve.
Hmm interesting, i bet they aren't open on saturdays though which means they can't earn my business lol
Morrey, I've used AirGas and Praxair in Cola. They've always switched out my tanks. Damn thing is, I swear they charge you whatever they feel like that day. I've paid everything from like 19 up to 25. I think it's a racket.

Damn, that's pretty good. The fire place on rosewood is literally around the corner from my house and I've never gotten gas from them. I will definitely hit them up when I need a refill!At least the Fire Extinguisher place on Rosewood gave me a firm price of 16.50 that I can count on.....at least for this week.
I never add at a given gravity. I wait until what I think is "high krausen" and then as soon as I see it drop even the slightest bit, I throw in the first dry hop charge.BTW...thanks for the NEIPA tips. I used my (new to me) Chugger SS pump after adding a whirlpool arm in my kettle last week.
I did the FWH addition as you suggested. No more hops til FO so WP'd 3 oz GMC for 20 min, dropped down to 160F and WP'd 3 more oz GMC for 20 min before chilling on down. Love that pump!
WY1318 is bringing the SG down quickly. I pitched at 1.060 (67F) on Sat afternoon. I am reading 1.026 at lunch on Mon. I am watching closely since I'll add another dosing of GMC hops in the primary during active fermentation. What SG do you suggest I bring it down to before the next addition?

I recently did my 3rd NEIPA. Each time I've gotten another aspect of it right. This was my best one by far. But I still can't get the color right. And I suspect it's yeast. I still haven't used 1318. I'm considering doing this same recipe again and splitting it between 1318 and WLP008.
Haven't clicked the link yet, but I assume he's using a spunding valve?Ok nvm it's more than just a few lbs of pressure. I just found this http://scottjanish.com/fermenting-dry-hopping-pressure/
Pretty interesting
I'm familiar with melanoidin but haven't used it and know virtually nothing about it. But to give you an example of what I want my NEIPAs to look like, here is a glass of the latest NEIPA from SC. This is CIT-CIT from Birds Fly South in Greenville. Straight JUICE! This is the one part I have not been able to nail with my NEIPAs. And now I'm becoming obsessed with chasing this dragon. I've known some people to cheat the haze with flour, but I think that's crap. I'm not a purist by any means, and I certainly don't live by Reinheitsgebot, but I just think flour has no place in beerI tend to favor Wyeast so I went for the 1318 this time. I'll harvest some if it turns out ok.
I figure I'll go ahead and add my primary hop addition this evening when I get home. Don't want it to ferment out fully so I better catch it while I can. Rumors are 1318 can be completely done in 3 days so I better go for it tonight. I used a bit of honey malt and the color looked pretty going into fermenter. I am combining what I think are the highlights of your techniques and those of Braufessor.
I noted something about NEIPA colors (pictures) I have been seeing yet no one has mentioned my "go to" color malt, Melanoidin. When used .25 lb at a time it makes a great color statement.
More to come on our quest for the perfect NEIPA...
Yeah, just let that ride out until it's done and you're ready to keg. Then crash and proceed on brother per the usual.Now I see what you are talking about color wise. I had thought you may be looking for a more orangish hue but that pic looks like straight grapefruit juice. Ok....I follow you now. I keep seeing flour in the recipes, but if I grind pretty tight for BIAB, I get a percentage of flour anyway. I added my primary hop charge today, so I suppose I'll let this charge ride it on out in primary until I keg??
Went to Carolina Fire and Safety on Rosewood for a 5# CO2 fill today. He will fill yours but it needs to chill down an hour (min) to fill it. Or he can take one from his freezer and fill that for you same price of 16.50. Heck the tank he pulled out was better than mine so I said fill that one.
All this talk of CO2 tanks makes me sad, I'm still bottling 1 crimp at a time lol it's not that bad. I would like to start kegging and have a multi tap fridge in the garage . Gotta have goals ya know

Your username is forcing me to ask a stupid question; you wouldn't happen to be from Altoona PA originally would you?
I was in there last weekend and Kevin said they were going to do the tasting next weekend to coincide with the homebrewers association big brew day
Just wanted to thank all of the participants that were at the tasting at DIY Brewhouse on Saturday!!
It was excellent, not just on quality of the beer and wine but also on the participation. So many good beers and I met a ton of people!
I was so inspired I brewed a California common the next day.
Hate that I missed it again! Had too much shizz to get done around the house. Got another NEIPA in the fermenter now. Maybe I can bring some of that next month if the keg is still on!Just wanted to thank all of the participants that were at the tasting at DIY Brewhouse on Saturday!!

New to this forum. I live in downtown Columbia. I am looking for a 50liter keg to ferment. Anybody know anything?
