Homebrew Equipment
OK, so I don't have the fanciest high-tech equipment setup. Of
course it doesn't mean that my beer is not good, but interestingly
it also doesn't mean that I have to work harder to make my beer.
I've seen some other homebrewers with their 3-tier 10-gallon keg
conversion RIMS systems with electronically-controlled temperature
and time. There certainly is a gain in efficiency in certain
procedures over my Gott cooler mash tun and propane cooker --
sparging in particular. But when all is said and done these
systems still require the same cleaning and sanitation before and
after the brew session, in addition to maintenance of the
electronics and extra burners. The old saying, "the more
complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up" applies
well here.
