  I was under the impression that the side pickup would leave a considerable amount of water
  behind (more than a few cups). I haven't measured, but I have started leave about a gallon or
  so behind in th...

  Put the fermenter in a large tub of water, and put an aquarium heater in the tub as well.

• Posted in thread: First time adjusting water. How does this look? on 11-17-2012 at 07:54 PM
  Well, I don't want too much bite. I don't really like really dry or bitter IPAs or RyePAs that

  Late to the party but I use this: 3rd this, and I run BLC through the lines to clean them.The

  I'm starting to think about my brew stand. I told myself I would wait, but pouring all this hot
