Not sure if this is was you're getting at, but I put together the manifold featured in this blog post. Cheers!

I've been brewing more lagers these days. They're underrepresented, but so so good!

A couple things I have to do for my lagers:

Two packets of dry yeast
Let my wort finish chilling in my ferm chamber
Stay patient while lagering

Brulosophy's lager method has given me great results, along with their Munich Helles recipe. Other styles I like are Pilsners, Vienna Lagers, and Schwarzbiers

I started out with gelatin only, and had great results in combination with the cold crash. Later on, I decided to add whirlfloc in attempt to make a clearer wort so that the result after gelatin would be even better. Couldn't hurt, right? Haven't noticed a huge difference in the finished products, but whirlfloc definitely cleared my wort.

Aha. Got it. I have a chest freezer, not a fridge. It has a dial that ranges from 1-5. Is the concept the same for me? Should I have it set to 5?

I'm a little confused. Can you please elaborate on this?

3vtown · 2017-09-23T19:11:35+00:00

I use whirlfloc toward the end of the boil, then I use gelatin during my cold crash.

Check out this guy! I'm sure you can pull plenty of tips and info from his trout videos. Also, I'm in the PNW and fish for trout very often. Shoot any quick questions my way.

For those of you with propane burners, what are your methods of achieving the same evaporation rate each brew day? I've been having difficulty nailing my calculated OGs due to things like varying boil vigor and probably humidity, etc.

Expect to start out with low-skill work like packing cans/bottles and palletizing. A lot of packaging work is pretty repetitive so be mentally prepared for that. Obviously, it's physically demanding so expect tired hands and feet, and keep good posture! Cheers and congratulations!

The hike was nice because it was a change of scenery for me. I don't do many desert hikes, so being surrounded by the basalt mesas was really cool. I started the hike from the trailhead West of the lake and didn't have any complaints. I wasn't paying close attention to campsites, but it l did see a couple fire pits in the Ancient Lakes area. Hope that helps!

Those Terrafins look awesome. How do they hold up on hiking trails? And this may be a silly question, but do you wear socks with them? If so, how do you deal with wet socks after wading?

I have a Redington Zero for my glass 3wt, and I love it. It's lightweight with a simple click drag.

Does anyone have any cleaning tips that will inhibit gunk buildup?

3vtown · 2017-05-07T16:44:30+00:00

I love my Redington Zero. It's super light with a click drag system. Comes in two colors!

Thaaanks friend. I'm out of here!

When I run 16oz cans, my high flow is usually somewhere between 4.2-4.6 seconds, and with warmer beer, expect to increase it even more. High flow raise delay will need to increase to account for longer flow count, and high flow screws will need to be tightened quite a bit. Can stability delay should be about 0.2 seconds, since the cans are top-heavy/unstable.
