I am going to brew Gordon Strong's NE IPA from the latest issue of BYO. He says to mash with 5 gallons of water, then fly sparge until 6.5 gallons is collected. I batch sparge, should I make any adjustments? Thanks!
That pickup looks great. Your TC is a 1.5 inch that is 2 inches from the bottom to the center of the TC, correct? Any idea on how much wort will be left in the kettle with that pickup?
Any plans to use a false bottom? When you recirculate the mash are you using your whirlpool attachment? Will it recirculate through the bag?
Also please post pictures of your pickup when you receive it, thanks!
Looks great. I am thinking about ordering a custom Spike kettle myself so it was nice to see what the construction is like.
Am I misunderstanding or are you trying to run a 5500w element on the 120v ez boil?
So I just found this thread and the original schematics that PJ provided are no longer available. If someone happens to have them can you repost them? Thanks!
Yeah I ended up ordering the heat sink below, I think it's going to make for a nicer install.
