I do 10 gallon batches of brew at a time plus I wanted to keep at as far away from the flame heat as possible but still be effective since I am using that flexible tubing. I also have exact marking in my mashtun for both 5 gallon and 10 gallon batches so I really don't need to be exact on how...

As always I first want to say Thank You to this forum. There is so much information/ideas I have used and I like to try and contribute to maybe help someone else out. So... Being the cheapskate that I am I was looking around for ways to not buy a sightglass with thermometer for $50+ but...

So I wanted to just post a video on how I am now supplying water to my HLT from the utility sink inside the house to the garage (cold water only). I was running a hose through a few doors to fill up the HLT and was getting tired of that. This is much cleaner and organized. The most...

Huh, never thought about this which is why I LOVE this forum. I'll have to check the angle once I lower the HLT to the correct height but luckily I have the weight distributed between 4 points. So after looking over that site....a keg ~30 lbs empty plus I'll go on the high side of 10 gallons...

Good to know and I'll do some more research on that. I do plan on lowering the HLT most definitely and will figure out the exact height once I get the valve installed on it. I'll probably have the valve just above the tallest point of the MLT once I take the lid off for the sparge phase. I...

Yes, I plan on strapping a burner to the bottom of the HLT with self-tapping screws and that bendable metal you hang garage motors with. I currently don't but is there a reason why I shouldn't fill with hot water from the tap?? I understand it's coming from the water heater but our water is...

As of right now I have a laundry room close by with a utility sink that I run a potable-grade hose from to fill the keggle and so this is also how I'll fill the HLT. Now my debate is to fly or batch sparge but I'm leaning more towards fly sparging since this is the perfect setup for it. Good...

First I would like to thank everyone that contributes to this site. I have received so much help and information and I am very happy that I am finally able to contribute to hopefully give others ideas on how they can use what I have towards their setup. I already had the 2 tiers and I just...

I've done extract recipes for the last 5 years. After doing my research on all-grain I am ready to jump in but didn't have a mash tun. I had a 60 qt cube cooler laying around but wasn't sure if it would work until I found this thread. WOW am I amazed on how well it holds the heat, it doesn't...
