That sounds friggin delicious, I will definitely have to try this at some point.  

 

[MX]

so I am going to try and run my 3 vessel eHERMS as a 2 Vessel Brewtus 20, doing a full volume mash.
 
Recipe: Guessing at 60% eff
  
10# Pale US 2 Row
 5# MO
 1 Victory
 
 
.5 Galaxy @ 14 60min
 .5 Citra @ 14 60min
 .5 Galaxy @ 14 20 min
 .5 Citra @ 14 20 min
 1 Galaxy @ 14 flame out
 1 Citra @ 14 flame out
  
Mash 60 min @ 154 - continuous recirculation
  
US05 @ 68ish
 
 Figure on using 10 gallons of RO water and 2 gallons of tap with some gypsum added after I figure out how much.
 Looking for about an 8 gallon boil.
 Leaving me with 6.5 to 6 gallons after boil.
  
Will be using 2 pumps to match flow rates and the PID will control the element in my BK for the mash.
Mash temp will be measured at the output of the BK before it returns back to the top of the mash.
 
Sound ok???
 
For some reason I am kinda freaking out....don't know why

With our water I used 1g of Gypsum per gallon of H2O for my hop heavy IPA/IIPA's. with your hop schedule I'd most likely use .25-.50g per gal at most. Remember Gypsum just adds a little bite to the hop bitterness in the back end, so don't over do it.

Went with 13 gallons of water. 10 RO. 18 pounds of grain. 9ml acid/ 3g Gypsum

Mashing out now

 

[MX]

Collected to much wort. 90 min boil here I come

Pre boil gravity 1.047

You'll need to make time to come brew/smoke with me once my house is done Timmy. Callie said she misses BIG Tim. ROFL.

Just pulled the trigger on a BIAB Bag, like really, just now.
Custom work to allow me to use the recirculation port on my HLT.
The false bottom worked fine for the mash, but had some issues with draining it, so I will remove it completely for my next brew day.
 
The T(Roll) Twenty is now the standard configuration that I will roll with, probably put the eHLT up for sale.

the IPA finished up 1.010, hydro sample tasted pretty good, hit it with 2oz of dry hops, should get it packaged next week!
hit the 6.5 abv range

Wow that's going to be nice and dry! Love it.

Planning a few big brews over the next couple months. Blind Pig, Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger, big RIS to age in my two 15g whiskey barrels, another Heady clone, a Sip of Sunshine clone, Consecration clone, a big Berliner Weisse with part of it going on Boo Berry cereal, and a lambic-style base.

But until then, here's some pics of when I broke this bad boy in:

Looks like the move to the new forum software scrubbed my pics, here are some new ones.








One day, I'll rebuild this motorized grain mill, but I'm too lazy right now.

 

[Backslide]

Great set up dude... Why are you going to brew a string of clones?
I've only brewed 2 true clones in the 30+ batches I've done. Zombie Dust and Pliny the Elder ( Vinnie's recipe). I've used plenty of recipes as inspiration, but also tweak it a fair amount.

Great set up dude... Why are you going to brew a string of clones?
 

I have no access to those beers I am brewing. My neighbor loves IPAs and he and his team are coming back soon from an undisclosed location and I'd like to have some on tap for them. Plus I love all of those beers. And I'm trying to get rid of a lot of hops out of the freezer to make way for all the Citra I'm going to be stocking up on. And Mosaic.
 
I call them clones, but there is no way they'll be the exact same. So I guess you can say "inspired" as well.
