  I've never brewed anything this big or with so much Munich (70%) before, so I'll do my best to
  not turn this into a "did I ruin my beer?" thread.O.G. of 1.082. It spent 2 months at 58*F. I
  just transf...

  Thanks, that's all I needed.

  Is there any reason a 9" False Bottom (which works great in my 5 gallon cooler) couldn't be
  used in a 10 gallon cooler?

• Posted in thread: Yeast/Trub Layers on 03-28-2008 at 05:18 PM
  I've collected 2, 1 qt. mason jars worth of yeast cake from a pilsner I brewed and they have
  been sitting in a fridgerator for about a week now. I'd love to be able to seperate the best
  yeast from the...

  Well, thank you all for the reassurance. I let the temp drift up to about 60* overnight and

  it back down...

  This may belong in the beginner section, so please bear with me...I've always bottled with corn

  Learned the hard way that my vacuum cleaner has an attachment perfect for getting floating
  thermometer buckshot weights out of the garbage disposal...The second time.(Bi-metal from now

• Posted in thread: Significance of Mash Temp??? on 06-27-2007 at 02:36 AM
  Sweet! Thanks Trub, that is exactly what I was looking for. And another big thanks to The Bird
  for the epiphany about sweet vs. body as it relates. I'm sure this will have a direct and
  immediate impac...

  To be honest, I've never measured my water to grain ratio very carefully - probably because of
  what I've heard about the mash temp having a greater impact. I've gone by the feel of it - how
