Great ideas and thoughts y'all. I guess my question now with all thos TC fittings talk is what is so bad about welded/threaded fittings? Isn't it boil to fermentation that is of the concern? Are TC fittings really needed on mash amd hlt?

20 gallons. Just thinking small scale.

I have been lurking here for some time now and I am finally able to set up an electric system. Kind of torn between Blichmann and Spike Kettle and can't make up my mind. Some questions: I am not made of money, but like to invest wisely. IF, this endeavor and investment turns into something...

A few buds and I are looking for a used electronic brew system. 15-20 gallons. We are looking at new, but would love to save a few $ on a used system. We live in MN, but would travel for the right system.

Are you a rail? The name is used commonly up here with train crews. Switch up a few letters of course.

Thank you! I was always playing around with the spread sheet trying to get things right with lots of additions, but it seemed like a lot of messing around. Part of the problem was the Ward Lab results of Sulfate as SO4-S, so I was messing around with 67 as sulfate. Until I stumbled upon your...

Ok I finally got it tested, what they guy at the city was telling me over the phone was way off. pH 8.3 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est 364 Sodium, Na - 30 Potassium, K - 6 Calcium, Ca - 35 Magnesium, Mg - 33 Total Hardness, CaCO3 - 225 Nitrate, NO3-N - 3.2 (SAFE) Sulfate, SO4-S -...
