603 Summer Session IPA. One of their better ales

rebuilding 2 kegs building a chiller and keg handles

Sugar was not planned. failure in grinding the grains led to low SG so I added sugar to hit target sg.

oh ok - dam I herd aluminum related to Alzheimer?

Looking at making a 15 Gallon electric system. Aluminum pots are cheap from restaurant supplies at about $60 each for 60 or 80 Qt pots. Is there any concern with Aluminum w/ all grain? Plan on using a Raspberry pi or equiv - to control the whole system with smartphone or computer monitoring so...

im 74 to 76 % using brewers edge system - kinda a biab type electric. i could improve it by modification of the kettle to recirculate but im good with 75%. system is easy to run. no need to worry . consistency is more important and finding the right settings and grain milling process.

So i guess i was in a hurry and didn't notice my 8 pounds of grain did grind well Best way to fix it at home - only have roller pin or blender unless any other ideas

We do but i see no need for one. I've been cooling my wort in a primary fermentor for years. Neverhad any issues

i just use simple 6 gallon brewcraft 6 gallon bucket with lid. i cover the grommet airlock gasket hole with a small glass bowl and spray it and area with star san. i xfer to carboy after a few days

Single i do a European style cooling. IE after boil I siphon my piping hot wort into my primary fermenter and let it cool overnight or till it hits pitching temp. Late hop additions 15 minutes or less are not adding much aroma more like hop bittering. I've now got to treat them as hop-stands...
