2:55 well done for adjusting pH of the sparge water! I wish commercial craft breweries did it, I hate the woody tannin taste in commercial NEIPAs that they describe as juicy on the can blurb 😖

I use an old Ss chiller.. I don’t recommend it though, it’s pretty overpriced for what it is. I don’t use a heating pad, only because I live in Southern California and it’s typically pretty warm here. But if it gets cold where you live, I’d definitely recommend a heating pad

Hey Ryan, glad to meet you. I'm originally from Seal Beach (near you, I believe?) but now in Japan. I'm teaming up to start a 1bbl brewery with the same system you've shown here from BrewTech. How long is your brewday? How long does cleanup take?

Cheers my friend! I have a bit more detail on Instagram, but I dry hop through the top TC port on the unitank. If it’s a post-fermentation dry hop, then I’ll also purge the top with CO2. But I don’t use a hop doser or anything (one of the biggest homebrewing gimmicks of them all).

Does that inline strainer get blocked if you don't use a hop sock? Love the setup. I have a very similar setup.

Thank you, awesome video Ryan! Question: how do you clean your equipment? I have a 15 Gallon kettle and I always feel that I'm wasting too much water and PBW. Do you have any tips on that matter?

@ryanmichaelcarter

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Antoine! After the brew I'll rinse out the bulk trub/hops then connect all of my tubing in a big giant loop. I'll recirculate 3 gallons of PBW solution at 150F for about 30 minutes. Then I'll drain the cleaner and add another 3 gallons of water, heat to 180F, and recirculate for another 10 minutes to rinse/sanitize. I do not include the mash tun in this loop.. I just dump the grain and wash that thing by hand with the leftover PBW. I frequently get questions about my cleaning process so I think I'm going to put together a video soon to better show my process.

What percentage of power do you run on your boil? Like do start at 100% and then drop during the boil and to what? Also how do you combat the hot break besides adding the anti foaming agent so you don't have a mess?

@ryancarter2597

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Brian, I first start at full power, then kick it down to 72%. It'll depend a bit on your elevation, but for me, 72% is enough to get a rolling boil without boilovers. At this power setting, the anti-foam agent is enough to keep everything in my kettle.

Hey Jeff, yea there is usually about 0.25-0.5gallons remaining in the system after I transfer to the fermenter. One cool way to transfer the rest of the liquid after the pump is to use a tee with a gas fitting. This is not something I do, but CO2 can be used to push the remaining wort into the fermenter.

@ryanmichaelcarter

2 жыл бұрын

@@mattgiovanisci 80% is great! I honestly almost never get above 85%. What really helps with efficiency is a super slow lauter (+45 mins for 8-9 gallons) and a hot sparge (168-170F) with a relatively constant flow rate. And of course, grain crush as you mentioned. Before sparging, I'll lauter just enough until I have almost no wort above the grain bed. Then I'll kick on the sparge pump until I have about 1 inch above the bed. Then try and maintain that fluid level until you have your full volume in the kettle.
