yea....it is a drag.......can it be fixed?

whoooohoooo.....congrats!

While were on the subject of cfc's, i think before you get to excited there are a few very important things that need to be known. Cleaning and sanitizing is lots harder. Expecially the cleaning part. A flush of water to rinse the wert out is not anywhere near enuff. Here is my cleaning cycle "...

Bill; interested in building one? I'm game.

Ive built numerous cfc's. If you need help or a parts list, let me know........

He does have a point. To prove it, a immersion chiller needs to be moved occasionly during the cooling process so stratification around the coils doesnt happen. This keeps hot wert against the cooling coils at all times. On this design it the same theory, and a good one at that. I like this design w...

Ive got tons of experience w/ PM. I will say this tho, the interface is a little harder to move around in vs Beersmith and the current PM version is getting kinda old. Its rumored a update is on the horizen.....But, a cool thing i like doing is say i punch in a recipe for 5g. but i want to do 10g. i...

Awesome, overview of the refractometer. Thanks so much. I actually just got one a few months ago after seeing you and a few others using them at Joe's backyard big-brew, and am a huge fan. It really does save a Lot of time. I am a little unsure and need to learn more about the BU:GU on my pre boil ...

A BoPils.....A guy i work with really liked it so we split a batch and set him up w/ a kegerator. Another convert!

within minutes. I cut my brewday to 10g cuz of the cold. Came time to chill thru the cfc which was loaded w/ starsan and sitting inside so it wouldnt freeze. Within minutes of hooking it up in my system to chill, it froze. Blew it out and it as like whip cream......had to laugh at that one! Resaniti...
