Ss brewtech sells a 3 inch tri clamp spray ball (I bought one) and it is essentially a 3 inch tri clamp with 1/2 inch mpt fittings on both sides, with a spray ball threaded into the inside fitting. So I'm guessing they probably carry the same prefer without the spray ball. You may have to...

Would you consider selling the basket separately? Curious about the dimensions, to see if it would fit in my mash tun.

I would like to buy 1 co2 tank, please. How do I send payment?

I'm wondering if anyone here has some experience with this. I currently use a brew bag ("The Brew Bag") as a primary filter in my mash tun. Long story, but I've found it helps a ton with slow mash recirculation and sparging issues versus using only my domed false bottom. I'm upgrading to a...

I'll take it. Pm coming

Check out this kickstarter program, I'm planning on investing on it for a 14g conical with tri clamps. $450 right now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2055692701/bru-gear-stainless-steel-brewing-kettles-and-ferme?ref=banner Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

10 gallon batch of dunkelweizen last weekend

I'm guessing your pre boil reading was off. If you started at 1.041 at 2.75 gallons and boiled off to 1.8, you should be at 1.063 post boil. I'm guessing like someone else mentioned, your wort wasn't well mixed for your pre boil sample.

How did you add the honey malt in your experiment? Did you put honey malt directly into the carboy? I've never heard of doing that, I've always mashed honey malt.

Just use the honey malt sparingly. It is ultra sweet and not fermentable, it can be overpowering. I use it in a blonde ale and a half pound is plenty in a 5 gallon batch in my recipe. But give it a shot and see if you like it.

The confusion is based on everyone using the term "efficiency" to describe what is normal and what isn't, and some of them are referring to different types of efficiency. The OP is slightly confusing because, while I read it as pre-boil efficiency due to the numbers given, the calculator states...
