I've stopped using that largely because I've stopped brewing 10G batches but it worked pretty good while I was using it.

February brewing in New England means snow in the recirculating immersion chiller. Still rooting for Brady!

Make sure to add water to the snow! Snow is a great insulator by itself.

Now that's using your resources! What's in the kettle?

Looking at my original post on here and it occurred to me I didn't have my current rig posted...I think I've come a long way since then if I don't say so myself...the garage is still a train wreck but the beer making is easier!

Seeing this thread come up again I realize that I am out of date too.

I hope we are making better beer buddy for the $hit Ton of cash that we've invested!

Haha
I sold my 3 vessel system for $2000 to finance the Brewzilla and some other accessories.

Simple, single vessel system here - my SS Brewtech 5.5-gallon kettle for BIAB, in action now.

Brewed a Founders Porter clone. Chiller worked a little too well, had to warm it back up to pitch the yeast. Bubbling away nicely now.

After doing two brews the other day (Friday) I had my second Tilt delivered today so I am able to fill up my Fermentation Fridge. Until, that is, the Hellish Camden kicks off fermenting - it was previously in a too-cold garage (it's snowing here now) and was at 6C. When it warms up to about 12C I'll pull it out of the fridge ad wrap it up in a couple of blankets to try and maintain it at a decent Lagering temp.

Nice looking fermenters! Curious as to why your spigots pointing in that direction?

Wondering the same. It’s got that middle-finger-thumb’s-out look.

Well it's for two reasons... 1: stops any drips that may come out and 2. I can spray Starsan down into it so I know it is sterile. The outer body of the tap is easily rotated - it doesn't unscrew or loosen - it also means I don't catch it on anything when dragging it out of the fridge. There is a right angled brass fitting in the bung at the top of the pipe leading to the bubble trap - this gives me just enough room to get both fermenters in the fridge. The device on the lower level shelf is my CO2 gas injector that I use to purge the air out of the top of the fermenter when I drop in the Tilt. Probably not needed but it is belt and braces. I try to reduce all possibilities of contamination if I can - until I can be sure I know what I'm doing after many brews under my belt. I hate wasting beer lol

Here is mine. It's a 3 vessel electric e-herms (Kal Clone) using my Sabco keggles and my old propane gas system stand. Works flawlessly and is a pleasure to brew on.

Cool you ferment In that keg at the bottom?
I ask because I want to get a kegmenter one day.

yes, its the 13.2 gallon kegmentor. I figured 10-11 gallons max for me.
