With a single level structure you would need 2 pumps to fly sparge. You could do fly with a two level system and 1 pump. I am sure there will be a healthy conversation about whether the extra cost to be able to do fly is worth it as many people have lots of success with batch, fly, and even "no...

I recently discovered that two batches of strong beer I bottle conditioned and aged for 3 months have insufficient carbonation. These were my first two batches using the new "malt tablets". I followed the dosing rate suggested with 7 for each 22 oz bottles. They were kept at about 72 F dur...

While designing, b...

I agree with Orlando on this. I built a system similar to his except I use a cooler as a Mash/Tun, I don't have the cool recycle valve and port he has on the top, and I don't have a float switch. I don't use the same process as he when it comes to recir during whole mash cycle. I think the cooler is...

Does anyone know that you can convert a ProMash Reccipe into BeerSmith 2.0 and if so how?

I have a Hermes system that is capable of ramping better than 1 deg F per minute when pump running full open. However I have been told that I should recirc at approximately 1 qt/min to avoid channling. At that slower speed it is difficult to ramp and one side of mash tun seems to heat faster than th...

Getting someone to cut it is overkill. If you have access to a hand held 4" grinder you can do this yourself. Release all the pressure from the keg using a screwdriver in the top valve. Mark a circle for the hole you want. Then fire up the grinder with a cutting blade (thin). slowly move around...
