Relisted again, great little fridge for someone. Inbuilt stc-1000, 2 wire drawers and 4 line gas splitter. Could be yours for as little as $25...

Relisted - Kegerator Keezer Chest Freezer Beer Fridge Home Brew Homebrew | eBay

Hi all - I’ve moved on to a more missus compatible upright fridge that’s acceptable inside the house, so my old Keezer is up for grabs. Easily holds 5 corny’s plus more space for 4/5/10 litre mini kegs as well. She’s not a looker but works really well with an integrated inkbird controller. I’ve...

That's pretty much what I do - two power lines in to the control box from two different GPOs each to different SSRs but the pi controlling the 3v signal to each. One power line does kettle & pump SSRs, the other the HLT SSR and powers an external power board.

Of you have one 10a breaker you will probably trip it if you need to use both urns at the same time. Cbpi will pulse the elements when maintaining temperature but will run them at 100% when ramping. So theoretically you could pre heat the HLT, then heat the water in your kettle (assuming you're...

I've done a couple of kettle sours with ibs tablets no problem. Make sure you don't get any oxygen ingress when souring and open the ibs tablets when adding to pour in the contents otherwise they take longer to sour and increase the chance of unwanted bacteria. I tried souring in a no chill cube...

Seems to be a wlp029 thing - my last 2 kolsch had quite the honey character to them as well, both pitched from active starters with fresh yeast. Just a fairly standard grain bill, 95% pils with just a touch of Vienna and caramalt.

Bolt some ply to the back of th frame and use it for mounting stuff? That's what I did with the shelving brackets I bought from the green shed - you can see it up the top left in the attached.

I'd avoid galv myself, particularly in an acidic environment.

Not sure about over passivating, but I often pray when sanitising too :p I've got a 26L stainless fermentation keg that I've not passivated in a long time. I usually spray it out and clean by hand, then dump hot wort into it, purge with co2 and invert to sanitise. Not sure if I should passivate...

If there's a market for beer made with the yeast from a lady's nether regions then there may be one for a farmhouse under cracker saison with added funk... :eek:

How is heat discolouration normal? There shouldn't be enough heat around the malt pipe to do anything like that. I can't speak about consealed elements with wort, but have never had heat discolouration in my sparge urn or in any of my SS equipment in my 1V system. Sounds more like chemical...

Yes - adding a hopstand addition will recalculate your boil additions ibu's based on the length of the hopstand. If you cube hop then use an approximation (I tried a hs addition at 80C for 20 minutes which seemed ok with my system). If you don't then you probably need to fudge it by adding a...

I do it one of 3 ways - Cold crashed beer into warm keg, use the condensation mark as a guide Use a luggage scale to weigh the keg and stop once it gets to about 19kg on top of the keg weight Fill until it overflows, then close the prv, then add some pressure to push the liquid back into the...

I can say that isn't the problem. I recently did a mid strength pale ale, strike water at 72.8C, mashed at 70C and got 85% mash efficiency and 75% BH efficiency.

Quite doable, same way fresh wort kits are often made. Not a particularly efficient way of going about it though. Your efficiency will suffer making higher gravity wort (unless you reiterate the mash perhaps) so you'll use more grain vs making full volume batches. But if you're ok with that then...

Keg is probably slightly less sanitary simply because you're dispensing from our multiple times. But in terms of filling it, be sure to invert it to let it heat pressurise the top as well and personally I'd flush it with co2 and pressurise to about 40psi before cooling both to seal the lid and...

I used to use sodium met back in the day. One whiff and you'll know about it. Seriously.

I think it comes down to what system it's employed on. I didn't have any luck with it which I think is because I'm drawing through it during recirculation. The recirc was working fine but the drop into the cube didn't go so well. Pity, like the idea, but doesn't seem to work well in this...

? Not sure what fermentis specifically has to do with it. If you're buying $15 liquid yeast with half the cell count of dry yeast or wanting to build up a starter for a lager then it seems like a good idea...
