Can't you just turn them around? Then the box is on top.

I am planning to hang a rubbermaid tote upside down over the kettle with a tap cut in it. Cheap and easy. Looking at this fan in the 6" size. Hyrdofarm

60.5 Gallons this year +29794.5 =29855

No problem. Hope you have a great brew. :mug:

That's a lot of water for that amount of grain. I use about 7.5 gallons for a 5.5 gallon batch into the fermentor. I squeeze the bag so I have very little grain absorption. Attached is my BIAB profile.

Beersmith is really good. I used Brewtarget for a long time but it seems development stopped on it.

Funny you just posted this recipe I just started searching for info on a dark mild. Did you just do a bittering addition for the hops? I am going to try this with some hazelnut extract.

If my grain bill needs 14 gallons of water I just heat all the water then drain out two or three gallons into a bucket or extra pot. Once the mash is done and I get what I can out of the bag I put it in the bucket or pot and dunk the bag and squeeze out what I can then pour it into my boil kettle.

Had that happen to me a few months ago. Luckily I had a backup and only lost a few recipes. :(

I turn it down all at once. Sometimes I use foil or I take a piece of rolled up paper towel and soak up some of the sanitizer in the airlock so it barely covers the holes on the center piece. I use three piece airlocks.

I did 20 lbs last weekend for a 11 gallon batch and it was pretty simple. I calculated my batch as usual then took out 3 gallons and figured the strike temp based on that amount. I added the total 14 gallons I needed and heated that up to my strike temp then drained out 3 gallons into another...

Replaced the lines with polyurethane tubing. It's good for low temps. Here is the line I replaced.

That's good to hear because I picked up 50' for $12. Plus it's supposed to stay flexible when cold.

Have you ever found an answer? I plan on using it.

Is there a way to import recipes and equipment only? I have duplicate items in my styles, and ingredients probably from past upgrades. I would like reinstall new and just import my equipment and recipes.
