Pimp My System / Finished 1BBL system

« on: April 12, 2013, 12:49:52 PM »

I have been a homebrewer for 3 years, I only did 3 extract brews before going all grain, I just flat love to brew. I built this from the ground up except for the Pots, it is a automated RIMS system with (2) 32 Jet jet burners, and a 40 plate chiller. The build (stand plumbing and the electronics) took about 3.5 months. I had help from a few friends (Tim E, Tim B and Caleb) Thanks guys. I hope this leads to a Nano brewery in the future.

Beer Travel / Los Muertos Brewing Puerto Vallarta

Would not recommend unless they get their Glycol system seriously bumped up, the beer had the potential to be good but is fermented too warm and gave it off flavors.
Food was great tho.

Ingredients / Going from 10 gallons to 1BBL

« on: February 10, 2013, 04:26:39 PM »

I will be going to a 1BBL system soon, a precursor to going commercial, in the course of ramping up to that i need some advice on a program or insite on how to ramp up the hops since pro-mash does fine with the grain i dont think locking the recipe and then ramping to 35-38 gallons works on hop additions, seems like way to much hops? true or not? any ideas or ?
