My ale brewing evolved from three gallon extract batches in the kitchen to 11 gallon all grain batches in the garage. The process has been kept simple so I can enjoy it. Wort and beer movements are minimized and are mostly powered by gravity or CO2. Cold side temperature control does have room for improvement as some styles can only be brewed well in cool weather.
Last year, I did the taste workshop for some Fear No Beer members who were preparing for the BJCP exam. We met in Mark Cherney’s Mission Viejo garage which houses more beer stuff than mine does. I spotted a small blue cube connected by two hoses to a water filled tub. Mark explained that the blue cube was an aquarium chiller used for fermentation temperature control (FTC). Wow! That’s pretty clever and the light over my head switched on.more »
This February I got a deal on 50 feet of 1/2" ID copper and saw my chance to build the wort chiller of my dreams; Jamil Zainasheff's whirlpool chiller.2010
