There is a YouTube page "short circuited Brewers" he has quite few videos on the subject and is great guy he will answer questions Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Home Brew mobile app

I too would like to use this for BIAB. Thoughts on that: It says it will hold 4.5 gallons of liquid so you would have to do calculations on how much water you would have to take out in relation to the grains put in (grain absorption). If there not enough room for the grain to get your...

I did something similar and found that there are different types of plastic from different manufacturers. Some are more brittle and some more flexible.

All I can say is bravo! Quick thought on the 4 gang 30a outlet cover. Just head to an electrical supply house and pick up a box blank. Use a hole saw to drill size of the plug where ever u need it. Good luck with rest build keep us all posted please.

Thx guys. Im going try the calculator and get as much water as i can in the pot with the grains then spare with the remaining water needed. What's more efficient dunk sparge or pouring through/over the grain bag?

Im sure this question has been answered in a round bout way before but I dont have the time to seach a bunch of forums so forgive me. Im going to do a 6 gal biab batch of a Flimish Red. I have 13.5 lbs grain bill so with my calculations i figured im going to need 7.5 gal of strike water. My pot...

Did you end up doing this? How did it work out? I'm considering this. I just picked a bunch of crabapples from a local tree, no pesticides. Any recommendations would be helpful.

i just got done reading an article "[BSHB] Preserving and Storing Hops" and enjoyed it as Brad posted it at the right time for me. I brewed a batch that required a few different hops all less than an oz and so I had left over hop pellets I didn't want to go to waist. After some other research...

I'm just getting into learning about water and the effects it has on the taste etc depending on whats in it for a particular kind of beer Is there a rule of thumb or a simple chArt some where that showers the type of beer and what ballpark I should be in with whats in the water?

Was giving some serious thought to building a Mother of a Fermenter, during my research it came to me all we are really doing is building a old time Ice Box. If you look at the design of them you will see most put the ice section at the top of the box. This made it possible to use physics, fluid...

I don't want to high jack the thread but I couldn't help but ask, squeeze the bag I always read never never squeeze the bag am I missing something?

I'm a bit concerned about the physical size of the cooler at 5 gal I wouldn't think there would be enough room for all the grain and all the water, especially for a big beer. Any experience use just a 5 gal cooler?

10 gal pot. I just got done reading some of the threads bout 10 min mash it's crazy to think its possible but it's hard to argue with the results ... from many different people. I'm going to have to talk my self into doing it.

Just wanted to bounce this idea off you guys. I have two 5 gallon drink cooler my thought is to use them both for a BIAB split the grain bill and the water in half. Thought/idea is two fold first have enough room for all the water needed for the beer plus what's soaked up by the grains and...
