I recently replaced my Chugger Pump with a Blichmann Engineering RipTide and am SO glad I did. See why I switched and my review of both pumps!

I made 10 gallons of excellent fruit beer; 5 gallons of all raspberry saison and 5 gallons of mixed berry (raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry) saison. Brewed on the Spike Solo and fermented in a variety of fermenters (multiple carboys, a Fermentasaurus, and a FermZilla) including some pressure fermentation and closed system racking, the resulting fruit ale was spectacular! Recipe is below. WARNING: I forgot to mention an important tip for making fruit beers. DO NOT throw the fruit directly into the fermenter as shown in this video unless you have a way to separate the fruit from the beer well enough to not clog your tubing and disconnects! I know what I'm talking about here. I learned that lesson the hard way. #SpikeSolo Larry's Berries Full Recipe: Excel: https://beernbbqbylarry.com/BNBFiles/Larrys_Berries_Saison.xlsx PDF: https://beernbbqbylarry.com/BNBFiles/Larrys_Berries_Saison.pdf Recipe Summary: Grains: 12 lb Pale Malt: Brewers Malt, 2-row (Briess) 4 lb Pilsner Malt: Premium Pilsener Malt (Rahr) 2 lb Wheat Malt: Wheat Malt, Red (Briess) 1 lb Vienna Malt: Goldpils® Vienna Malt (Briess) Hops: 7.2 AAU Cluster hops @ 60 minutes 3.2 AAU Hallertauer Mittelfrüh @ 5 minutes Yeast: 1 packet Lallemand Belle Saison Other Ingredients: 8 mL Lactic Acid 2 Whirlfloc Tablets 7.5 lb Frozen Raspberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries Support my work via the following affiliate links: (I get small commission from each purchase you make.)

Comprised of homemade breakfast sausage and fresh baked biscuits, this version of traditional biscuits and gravy is delicious, and it's brought to us by Brian over at Short Circuited Brewers. Originally meant to be part of a road trip where Chad and I were to hang out with Brian all weekend while making several videos including this one, COVID19 threw a wrench in the works forcing us to find another way to bring this video to you.

After brewing a ten gallon batch of Munich Dunkel on my Blichmann BrewEasy, it was split into two 5 gallon batches and pressure fermented separately with different yeast strains; a Wyeast Bavarian Lager 2206 in a FermZilla All Rounder and a Wyeast Munich Lager 2308 in a Spike Brewing Flex+. Now, it's time for my informal and completely unscientific opinion on which is the better yeast strain for Dunkel. #MunichDunkel #BlichmannEngineering #BrewEasy Download the Munich Dunkel Recipe: Excel: https://beernbbqbylarry.com/BNBFiles/Munich_Dunkel_20200906.xlsx PDF: https://beernbbqbylarry.com/BNBFiles/Munich_Dunkel_20200906.pdf Support my work via the following affiliate links: (I get small commission from each purchase you make.)

Home brewing equipment isn't only for making beer. It can also be used to cook delicious food including an 18 lb prime grade boneless ribeye roast. I cooked this roast for nearly 10 hours sou vide style in my 10 gallon electric Blichmann BrewEasy system before reverse searing it on my SNS Grills Deluxe Kamado. The result was perfectly medium rare interior throughout with a great exterior crust. #BlichmannEngineering #SNSGrills #SousVide Support my work via the following affiliate links: (I get small commission from each purchase you make.)
