What have you done to your brewery today?

[Hop Bomb]

Ive been reading that thread on the electric brewery forum the last while. Some great posts & good reading/gear porn on there. I thought it'd be cool to have our own thread.

Very nice.

Im awaiting delivery of a dedicated corny dry hopper.  http://www.stainlessbrewing.com/Dry-Hopper_p_155.html



Planning a herms build after that.

You are using your balls to dry hop

oh T-Balls, yeah but my balls are not big enough and have started to rust. I am sure I could get a cream tho.

new 40 litre conical on the way with ss taps and sealed screwtop lid..
will be playing with this and then may suggest a group buy of a finihed product with gas in valve, a pr valve,  a half inch stainless bottom valve and a stainless 10 ml taster transfer valve 6 inches up. it will be running for next brewday.

40 ltr capacity.. plan is to do a 35 litre brews and then transfer to TWO cornies from one conical. Then using my current fermenters for grain stores

Ive sat here inhaling a fermenting 'star anise' brown ale, whos aroma is all over the house

I finally got my HBC element to seal in my keg last night. All it took was some homemade silicone baking sheet o rings  & a KM8 M40X1.5MM LOCKNUT (thanks for the idea & link CH)

Ive a 4 litre stainless asparagus pot on the way for my herms build & ive a dip tube coming from Norcal brewing solutions so that will reduce my deadspace in my HLT to almost nothing.

Jig made very cheaply for grinding a hole in the top of a keg. Will be disturbing the peace with some metal grinding noise later on!

took possesion of 10 x 20 litre fermenting bins used for glycerol and veg oil emulsifier in Comefords bakery. Beauties exactly same as the homebrew shops only tougher and completly white and light tight with very wekk fitting lids.

May have 1 r 2 to distribute and im trying to get a regular supply. First batch are jsut about accounted for as Im using them to store grain due to their stackability and airtightness.

Would be interested in a few of these if you get v any more.
