Fermentation
Fermentation
- Blichmann Fermenator 14.5 Gallon Conical.
- My own hacked lid with cooling coil and thermowells for temperature probes
- My created insulation jacket. 1/2" neoprene. Works very well
- Under the Insulation are two heating mats
- Insulation is wrapped around the cooling hoses
- Fermentation heat is controlled by a Controller
- Fermentation cooling controlled via controller through a cooling coil and a pump us an old cheap pin lock keg as a glycol reservoir
- Chest Freezer to hold the finished beer for aging and to keep the glycol cold during fermentation
The Aging Tank, Filter, Kegging
The Aging Tank, Filter, Kegging
- 10 gallon Corny Keg that's used as an aging/lagering tank
- I added a thermowell in the lid so I can monitor internal beer temperature for the controller to regulate the chest freezer
- Had to get a Williams Brewing Oversized Keg O-Ring, the normal one didn't seal very well
- Filtering from 10 gal corny to the 5 gal serving kegs (before I got everything setup as in the chest freezer).
- 10 gal corny stays in the chest freezer and I transfer that way to the 5 gal kegs
- Canister filter kit from MoreBeer and I use 1 micron BevBrite filters
