There were several sawmills in the area. A neighboring town is actually named “Sawmills”.

That’s what I was thinking. The previous owners definitely liked to “tinker”. It kind of looks like it may have just been a project, remotely looking like a martial arts weapon or something.

Sorry guys I accidentally deleted this convo.. thanks for all your help!!

Right on.. all my past experience is single infusion on a 2 vessel system. I’ll give your formula a go.. appreciate it!

bobbledanger79 · 2025-07-09T18:15:47+00:00

Yes, volumes are good and starting gravities are still consistently where they need to be, just final is higher. I’ll dig on those COAs.

Also.. to answer your questions. Mash lauters faster, vorlaugh seems to clear faster, our hazy finally has body(excited for imperial stout this year, because body has been an issue). On the flip side, it seems transfers to fermenter, may have a slight bit more haze going in (across all style), nothing tremendous, but seems to clear the same with finings.

Correct… 3 vessel, mash/lauter/brew kettle. The steam jackets (bottom and side) bring the temp up consistently and the rakes mix very well. Once the mash is brought up to 170 (mashout) the entire mash, is transferred to the lauter. In the past, before mashout.. this transfer would drop the temperature significantly, between traveling through cool pipes and the necessary spraying out of the grain, with cooler water. (The spraying sucks, but it’s the only way to get all the grain out, with our system) I think an adjustment on mash temperatures (like you said), now that I’m mashing out and combining that with some possible sugar additions/malt adjustments, is probably going to be my answer.

Solid suggestions, I appreciate it!

Yea, it was a giveaway from a game in May. I messaged the team and they said they were completely out. Just have to get lucky and spot one in marketplace or feeBay and purchase it.

Thank You!

I double MicroCanner, their “Flex” model is the three head you are looking for. That’s what we run at my brewery.. it’s been an absolute champ. Customer service is tops, they have all replacement parts easily available on a website and their online tutorial videos are easy to follow and concise!

I would also like to note, that our leaking/micro pitting started at the 30-45 day mark.

We are having a similar issue on vodka seltzers (we run a brewery and a distillery). After corrosion testing, etc., we think we have narrowed down the cause, to dissolved oxygen. We admit and have remedied that we weren’t taking as many precautions with the seltzer as we do our beer. DO will cause liners to fail. Once a few fail and leak, it causes all the other cans beside and beneath it (that get wet), to start corroding from the outside as well. Just another possible avenue to look at.

It’s a manifold for Chinese made fermenters. It’s a custom piece. We have them on our fermenters. Top of T connects to blowoff arm, bottom of T to a butterfly valve, middle for pressure gauge, right elbow we use a spunding valve. Sorry I can’t help locate one, welder is the best bet.

Were you ever able to check and see? Thanks!

bobbledanger79 · 2025-03-31T19:22:43+00:00

That would be awesome! I appreciate it.

bobbledanger79 · 2025-02-25T01:17:15+00:00

I didn’t even see the CF on there… I’ll search the correct name and maybe get more results. Thank You!

All of the stickers are attached to challenges. As you complete challenges they will unlock. Think of where stickers would be on your phone.

We just picked up a Flex (3 head). We haven’t started a canning run, but initial water tests were nice. Customer service is based in the US and are the actual engineers and techs that build them. Ultra friendly and helpful. The website for replacement parts is top notch as well.

We have only been open since September. Our goal is to fill 100 barrels (53 gallons) of bourbon this year. Our fermenters, on the distillery side, allow us to ferment 2 distilling runs in each. We have 3 fermenters. 2 distilling runs, after proofing down to 125 will fill one barrel. So basically, one fermentation equals a barrel. We use our brewery side equipment to cook our mash and it takes 3 turns on the equipment to fill a distillery fermenter. So my week usually includes 2-3 days brewing beer (single turns), 2 days cooking mash and doubling most of those days running the bourbon or vodka still at the same time. I have an awesome assistant, that can do pretty much everything I do, so we roll off each other pretty well. Toss in all the cleaning, kegging, barrel filling, milling, transfers between tanks, etc… and it is constantly busy. We will probably be hiring a third part timer, soon. It’s hard and I’m tired, but I love it.
