I have a keezer for kegs, but not for fermentation. I'm thinking I would get a 2nd freezer for fermentation. Probably would get 1 large enough for 2 fermenters, since I rarely would be fermenting more than 2 batches at a time. I just got PH strips, so I will look at that for next batch. I'm told...
I think I'm going to reduced gap in grain mill to credit card thickness and give that a try. I haven't tried the blanket, but thought that recirculation of mash was supposed to improve efficiency, not sure.
BTW: how long does it take to reach a boil or heat up strike water with RIMS system. The Boil Coil listed 2 different times, 1 with whirlpool and 1 time without.
I don't think that is an option for me. The BoilCoil could use up to 2000watts. I bought a 20a GFCI outlet, not I need to decide if I want to run a new wire all the way from Garage to Basement and have a new circuit. Our just use the existing wire, which is probably only rated for 15amps.
What...
My friend Erik has been brewing with a RoboBrew for about a year now and he loves it. I'm actually a little jealous because it has a small footprint, but it is a full brewing system. He even recirculates the mash and hasn't had any problems with a stuck sparge. The 1 recommendation is that you...
I'm upgrading to a 3 kettle electic system, maybe. The image shows my existing boil kettle (left), existing insulated mash tun (center) and new kettle (right). I also purchased 120v BrewCommander, 120v BoilCoil and Therminator (replacing copper chiller).
I want to create a HERMS system with my...
I ordered the 120v Brew Commander and BoilCoil. Turns out that They shipped me the 240v BoilCoil and I got to see the difference between the 120v and 240v plugs. The 240v prongs on the BoilCoil are exactly same looking, but the blades are just a little bigger, so you can't use it.
Anyways, I...
