ill take some kegs. email sent.

ok, my first fermentation in my new conical will be done this week. I would like to harvest the yeast for my next batch. i brew 13 gallons so I have 12 gallons to ferment. How much yeast do I need to harvest for each batch? Obviously I'm new to harvesting. lol THANKS! in advance

Which Conical Fermenter are you referring to when ya say to compare to the Blichmann? Plastic?

Defin interested but can't get a hold of ya.

keep all the ideas and info comin! I'm pitching them again on Monday.

I'm going to ask that we refrain from bashing any Igloo/Gatorade/Coleman, etc. coolers. This is not why I started this thing. I've never claimed our unit works better or different. I've used an Igloo when I was doing 5 gallon batches and it worked great. If ya don't want our Ice Hawk and can...

The only thing that would really up the cost if the draw of the longer core would need more plastic. I won't bore ya with the tech side of it. but I'm thinking it really shouldn't add anything.

I was almost thinking of eliminating the step all together? We have a reservoir plate that we put over to keep grey water from the bottles/cans. Thats the reason for this step. what ya think?

lol - i know. I have a bit in my inventory. I know I should be using CaraMunich and Aromatic. I can order some. Its more important to me to get it right than use up a little inventory. I kinda figured I'd get a raised eyebrow or two. lol

I've been discussing a few options for the Mash Hawk with our engineers. I've been pitching them on lowering the core for higher capacity (22-25 gallons?) and adding a second molded-in drain for a temp or 2nd ball valve or whatever ya think. We would have to cut into one of the existing...

Belgian Double I'm thinkin of brewing next week. lookin for sumt like Chimay Red but yummier. 24lbs Maris Otter 3lbs CaraWheat 1lb Biscuit 2lbs Amber Belgian Sugar 2oz Tettnanger (60) 1oz Centennial (15) 3787 Trappist Any suggestions or comments would be awesome!

Just got mine and they look great! All 4 held pressure and look totally clean on the inside. Of course I had to look. lol Great Job! and let me know if ya snatch more up. I'm in!

I've been yappin with the engineers about re-tooling one of our molds. Adding more capacity and adding another molded in drain. I'll defin keep ya informed on the progress!

Thats pretty good to get a 10g batch into that size of cooler. I might be doin a little higher gravity. I've never seen the 52 quart. and for $20, thats quite a deal. I've seen the 45 quart for $42. Let me know where ya get those and I may have to pick some up. And as I've stated before...

The Mash Hawk allows you to do 10-13 gallon batches while the igloo/gatorade are limited to your 5-6 gallon batches. Good call though. I'll highlight it more on the site. We yapped about it at lengths in the first few threads. Its a Merchandisers I've been using for a long time now and...
