Home Brew Equipment Update and Electric Brewery | Beer Geek Nation Beer Reviews

Here is a brief look at some new brewing equipment I purchased as well as an all electric brewing setup I will be using from here on out. Stay tuned for a bunch for home brew videos coming in the next few weeks. Cheers!

Slick set up man. I've been reading up on home brewing, and from what everyone says these are some of the best. Can't wait to see the set up videos. I always learn something watching your videos.

I am glad somebody mentioned McMaster-Carr. Its the go to place for all kinds of fittings and widgets. When I hear Blichman I think McMaster-Carr.

[HarleyBeerLover]

That is quite an impressive setup you will have soon! I will be looking forward for your homebrewing videos. Cheers!

Nice set-up Chris! I'm looking forward to some brewing videos with it.

Holly cow that is hardcore kit. I use electrics but thats just a couple of elements in a stainless steel stock pot. Very nice equipment Chris.

Oh man, I knew were looking at that electric system but that's awesome that you bought it.

One of these days I'll buy one of those conical fermenters but I'm worried about temperature controlling them.

Can't wait to see everything when it's setup.

I converted to this system recently for my RIM's mash tun and have cut the brew time by 1/3 and making more consistent brews that beat our estimated efficiency numbers...

[kuautemoc]

Great vid and explanation! Can't wait for the brew.

@BeerGeekNation Looking forward to watching a video with the system complete. I was looking at the Top Tier system. wondering if it's worth the money. Would love to get your feedback on it.

@BeerGeekNation hello again, on a know and fixed voltage... use this equation... Amps = Watts / Volts where ( / ) would mean divided by as in division, for example, 12 watts / 12 volts = 1Amp... hope this helps.

[duckmanco]

Wow man, you always seem to do everything right. Nice setup. Btw did you scrap no chill?

[djmx]

Great video Chris. You'll have a great set up. Are you a member of the AHA?

[Tantrum]

Nice set up man! I like fire though! Yeah I agree that 14 gal is way better, I just brewed a 11 gallon saison wiith all Serachi Ace hops About 50 IBU and should be 6% ABV. I split the batch 5 1/2 gal is French saison and 5 1/2 gal is Belgian saison. Same exact beer with different yeasts :)

Man! did you hit the LOTTO? glad to see someone doing it right?

[yellowgroove]

@yellowgroove Also, i don't have fuses, i have a huge 38 switch circuit breaker but the central AC, Furnace, and water heater are all on dedicated and separate circuits. i should be able to easily run this, heck, i use 3000 watts of power alone just to power up the recessed lighting in the finished basement and rec room.

[BrandonsMacTutsAndOtherThings]

That's pretty awesome. I noticed that the tank said Blichmann's on it. Fine company.

[kbroberts]

awesome love the idea of more home breweing vids ect thanks

[stupslover]

Hey, Awesome video. What size are your quick disconnects and do you have a link to get them? Please let me know.. thanx..

[yellowgroove]

@BeerGeekNation i have a 250 AMP service into my house, 1000 watts = 10amps right.

Hold the camera still. After less than 2 minutes I was sick from camera jiggle. Get a tripod and work on panning smoothly. Doesn't matter how good the vid is if you can't stand to watch it.
