Sorry, brother just trying to help. and as I understand it, some yeasts respond positive to STA1 gene without being diastaticus. But, what the heck do I know. I recommense shutting up.

The enzyme will break down much longer chain starches than you ever could with a standard mash.

It is Saccharomyces cerevisiae thus beer yeast. It has the enzyme Glucoamylase or sometimes called Amyloglucosidase so it will break down starches with the crosslink molecules at a-1,4 and a-1,6 so more of the starches become fermentable. Your caramels and crystals won't leave behind as much...

If you want to make it sweeter, drop the 10% pils. It doesn't need any base malts other than Munich. There are 2 types of Munich Malt, Munich i and ii. If you check the Weyermann website, it has a description of both. If you need to adjust color, select the other Munich. If you can't do a...

I used 1/2 length rebar and tied it to the burner top with wire like the contruction guys use when they fabricate the rebar support before pouring concrete in. cheap, easy, cheap, maintenance is easy, cheap, works good.

30 seconds of chlorine solution is the least of your worries if you've got an infected fermenter.

Since it is mold, kill it first then take it off then sanitize it again. Boiling water then vinegar then chlorine then rinse then a warm PBW soak and let it sit there for a day. Rinse then sanitize. If there is still mold, you didn't do the PBW right. Do it again until it is gone...

The hole in the top, if it won't be used for anything else, should be as wide as you can make it so it's easier to clean and inspect. Most here use an angle grinder but if you're handy with plasma....

Is the BTU capacity of the gas and electric heat sources the same?

Something like the shot machine may work for something like cooling glycol for long tower lines to remote taps. Like where they guys have taps in their kitchen but keezer in the basement under the kitchen.

Some Lowes has this stuff called: Roebic brand Crystal Drain Cleaner. you will not find it online. It'll be with the plumbing drain cleaning chemicals. It is 100% Sodium Hydroxide. If you aren't sure, look at the label or ask someone there for a Material Data Sheet.

Yeah, if your tap water is that warm in the summer, there certainly wold be a need to knock it down more. Salt water onto Stainless for that small period of time wouldn't phase it, you're going to rinse it and clean it afterwards anyway.

Cleaning and durability.
