  It also seems like upgrading to a conical will make it much easier to pitch an appropriate and
  consistent amount of yeast. How are you handling yeast pitching right now? Do you just pitch by
  weight an...

  If you watch Austin Homebrew (subscribe to emails), they put these on sale every so often for
  something like $12 each I think. I would just wait for a deal like that if you're interested -
  they're rea...

  I second the "go for it". It sounds like it would work. Or just mash them seperately and

  advantage of HERMS re...

  My friend and I have essentially identical brew setups, water cooler-based eHERMS with
  10-gallon MLTs having standard SS false bottoms. We'd like to brew some 10-gallon (or larger)

  I punched two holes in a keg with this punch today. Worked great took about 30 seconds of
  ratcheting per hole. The draw stud showed a bit of wear after two holes, so that may not last
  forever. But wow...

  I don't think you need experience with all three to observe the potential issue with small
  diameter rollers. It's the same problem people have with Barley Crusher. If you see positive

  If using dried cherries, does anyone have suggestions about a) good vendors (no preservatives,

  than a fre...

• Posted in thread: Does grain crush affect absorption rate? on 09-19-2011 at 10:49 PM

  approx 0.75 g...
