Man, I am loving your videos! Just got some homebrew stuff for myself for Christmas and am binging all your content. Found you through Elementary Brewing's channel.
Yes! Welcome to the greatest hobby on earth! And Elementary Brewing is an awesome dude, between us you'll have more than enough content to binge :) If you ever have questions about brewing feel free to hit me up on IG @bigpopbrewing 🍺
Good Evening. Love your videos. I was getting to Watch Karate Kid II, but saw your 1 hour plus vid and couldn't resist. It's been a couple of weeks since my last brew. It's been 118 degrees here in Phoenix, AZ. Little too hot for brewing outside. Where's fhe Big Pop Logo and most importantly WHERE IS THE DIY WALK IN VIDEO. 😎. Salud from AZ
Thank for watching! Dude, brewing outside when it's that hot outside is no joke. It's gotten up to 105 here in CA so I know (almost) what that's like. I'll get to the walk-in video eventually, but for now you can check out a Brulosophy podcast where I talk all about it here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-br%C3%BClosophy-podcast/id1207681531?i=1000606206427 Salud!
I don’t have the threaded nozzles in my apartment to connect a garden hose to the plate chiller. So, could I just add a frozen 2 liter bottle of ice to the wort and reconnect the recirculating pump and let it cool down that way?
I wouldn't want to put a frozen 2 liter into the word directly because it can potentially cause an infection. You can just close the lid and let it chill or find an immersion chiller? OR with an ice bath you can recirculate through the plate chiller with a second pump. Many ways to get it done!
Help me out here your controller SV is set to 212 for a rolling boil but I didn't see your PV go above 210, yet you still achieve a rolling boil. What altitude are you brewing at and did you autotune before your brewday?
Good question! I'm not at any significant altitude. I think the temp probe just loses a couple of degrees from ambient temps, the wort boils just fine. In fact, the 220V kettle's element is so powerful that I frequently turn the SV down to 109-110F to keep the boil from being too vigorous. The Clawhammer is very efficient like that. I have also switched to using power output setting to control boil vigor - hold down the AM button and set the power output to 100% to get up to a boil quickly (like 20 minutes or less) and then back output down to 75-80% to have a nice rolling boil. I hope that helps!
@@bigpopbrewing It does thanks. I am brand new to brewing and have just assembled my Clawhammer 220V 20gal, first brew this weekend. Yay! I retired from the food processing and packaging industry, so I know my way around PIDs' and thermocouples. When I installed the PT-100 I applied some heat-sink paste to optimise the heat transfer. Probably being anal but old habits die hard. I must look at that percentage power output, makes perfect sense. Thanks again
GREAT VIDEO!

Salud!
This is a great video man thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
It's honestly a sick setup. I want one. lol But why is there not a Big Pop brewing discount code?
Thank, man! I wish I did have a discount code for that system - I advocate for it all the time!
Awesome dude! Great stuff.
Glad you dig it!
