    Mash In A Bucket system

    Cool Mash Tun! Have you had any problems with air bubbles (in the heat exchanger mainly)? I may try this, would your heater fit under the cooler?

    Anyone ever use EMT instead of copper to cool beer lines?

    Don't forget, the EMT will rust. PVC would be an alt. Find your leak, it doesn't seem like a big deal without the fan, but it still leaks dollars.

    rolling boil

    Thank you all for the input. I will adjust my flame after hot break to the lowest boil and see how it turns out. Home brewing is a learning experience every time!

    rolling boil

    I have noticed an increase in evaporation during the cold spell we had in AZ. I lost over three gallons some in the grains but most in the 60 minute boil. It is something I've never put much thought into. A friend of mine states he boils as low as possible "212 is 212". I'm sure breweries...

    GE 7cf Chest Freezer/keezer

    Get two. They are so easy to add a collar allowing taps or gas line holes. EGOTIST: A person of low taste, more interested in himself than me.

    efficiency question... sitting around 60%

    Did you hit your target of 153? you state your mash temp is from "154" to 152. Do you have an insulated Keggle? The drop seems small. I use a cooler and the drop is in that range. Maybe your strike temp is higher than you think. Also, I have adjusted my PH and been able to raise my efficiency.
