Your little buddy doesn't get that.

PTN

I do get it ya freakin' tool. All of the water infusions are at a boil and the entire mash schedule is laid out in percentages.

We don't know how many gallons each of us is doing yet so what is there to calculate?

There are TWO effin grains... I'm guessing we... whoa... hold it... I'm guessing I can do some pretty easy math between now and then.

CB, that was a typo.

Boiling on your rig = WIN

PTN, I'm about as anal (brewing wise no homo) as one gets.

And I did the math already ont he total grain bill... 80 lbs pils and 55 lbs of wheat. 1060ish. I ran it before I ordered the grain

Gotcha Babalu... yeah, I think it'll be a nice option in case guys want to take off or we run late.

7:30 AM
If strike water is ready we can be rolling by 8 AM EASY
Few minutes to unpack and get rolling.

How many brewers again 6?
Gonna just use a keggle as a mash tun, I can go direct heat that way.

The other thing that is mentioned is a colander to get the turbid portion.............cant one just get the turbid portion by opening the drain on their mash tun? Unless its going to be silly sticky at that point?

I am REALLY hesitant to go that route. That has "stuck mash in .005 miliseconds" written all over it... even with all of the rice hulls.

55 lb sack of rice hulls comin'.... that's a SHIIIIIIIITLOAD of rice hulls.
