If you use a hop screen basket, put this in your boil kettle and then drain your wort into/through this, it catches all the big stuff that may get past your false bottom. Clean before using for hops.

Past weekend was adding wort to my fermenter after a long day brewing, would of been fine had I closed the fermenter drain valve before....batch went from ~ 6 gal to ~ 5 gal before I realized.. Another time, cold crashing my fermenter I left blow off tube on and in startan. The result was the...

I picked up the EZ Boil DSPK120 from the States via Amazon.com direct from Auber, came to 101.82 CDN, so far no duty customs official has contacted me for any duty, hoping it stays this way:) I have just did the one batch with this Auber PID so far, seems to be working fine temp wise, but like...

Ahh OBK, for sure check them out all the time and is my primary go to. OBK is a good source, once in blue moon they don't have what your looking for, case in point a 1/2 thermowell!!

Hi calgary222, very nice set up. Love the stand which in itself is quite the project/cost and an amazing way to insulate the steel MLT. Some day I hope to have a similar system. Great diagrams I'll use these some day...on my next improved build. My observations, and not to be negative in any way...

Hi All am new to this forum and have just started brewing this year. This thread is intended for RIMS system build diagrams...pictures also say a thousand words, I built the RIMS system for 5 gallon batches - see thumbnail. Works great so far, step mashing no issues, no stuck sparges etc. I...
