• Posted in thread: Giving Gose a go, Lacto starter help needed. on 01-27-2013 at 02:47 PM
  I know this isn't the correct way to make a Gose, but I used acidulated malt the last 15
  minutes of the mash and it turned out great. It reduced the workload a great deal. I believe I
  got it out of a ...

  He also said that other liquid flows fine. Just trying to find out his settings.

  Yep, you are absolutely right. I was chasing a 2 year old around when I posted that. I meant
  stuck sparge w/false bottoms IRT fast runoffs. But, if the manifold is designed correctly,
  channeling isn't...

  What psi do you serve at? I serve at 9-10 and get a decent pour. It's not a rocket engine
  shooting out, but it fills a pint faster than 45 seconds.

  Edit:I really think the best thing an AG brewer can invest in besides good temp control is a
  nice stainless dome style false bottom. I know you guys with homemade fasle bottoms are gonna
  want to throw...

• Posted in thread: Am I just lucky? on 12-19-2012 at 10:05 PM
  It took me 8 years before I had a batch that was completely undrinkable. By that I mean, I have
  had some less-than-desirable experiments, but I powered through them because they weren't
  horrible. But ...

  I've never dedicated the time to fly sparge. But for batch sparging, I get great results from 5
  or 10 gallon batches, consistently. Try it once and see if you like it. If it's not for you, go
  back to ...

• Posted in thread: Trick of the Trade: How do you measure your water? R on 12-16-2012 at 02:33 PM
  I installed a sight glass on my HLT and calibrated in gallon intervals. For my brew kettle, I
  used a left over piece of cpvc pipe I had laying around and marked it at the same interval. I
  used to notc...

• Posted in thread: What glassware do you use? on 12-16-2012 at 02:29 PM
  I use pint glasses for everything. All my other glassware is upstairs and I usually just grab a
  pint glass from near the fridge because they are easily accessible.

• Posted in thread: When and how should I start buying grains in bulk? on 12-12-2012 at 02:25 AM
  I started buying base malt in bulk when I bought my grain mill. Actually, I used it as an
  excuse to buy the mill. My LHBS gives a substantial bulk discount and stacks my Military
  discount on top. So I...
