  By not the same balance, are you saying more flavor? That's the one thing that I've always been
  impressed with this Belgian Golden Ale yeast - it strikes me like a weizen on steroids, and I
  sort of li...

  Hey All, I have used White Labs Belgian Golden Ale Yeast (WLP570) a handful of times in the
  past for Belgian Pale Ales. The flavor and aroma profile was amazing. I like Hefeweizens, and
  Dunkelweizens,...

  My batches are 40-45 gallons worth. The tank is about 5 feet tall.I'm going to poke around
  online today - maybe see about a hatch on the side? Would make it more feasible to clean. Nice
  system Mash Mo...

  I thought about cutting the top off and somehow making a hatch. I've seen something like that

  My local scrap yard has this beast. It's double lined, heavy as hell - stainless steel. I
  called the manufacturer, and it is hollow on the inside, despite the multiple ports on the top.
  Any good sugge...

  I appreciate the feedback. I am not using a Herms or Rims system. My system is basically a
  homebrew system on steroids (built it like that). My mash tun is fully insulated, and holds
  it's temps pretty...

  Yooper, I'm coming from a home brewer's background, so I am recirculating I guess the way I
  used to - draw some off, pour it over the top. There's going to be a lot of mistakes I'm sure
  on Friday. Wha...

  Okay Boys (and gals) - here's my issue. It's positive, but I want to get it right. I built a
  1.5 barrel system that I basically assembled, and tested in parts, but am just approaching the

  Thanks wolfman.

  Yeah, I've read people using nickles, dimes - now pennies. I spoke to a guy yesterday up in
  Canada who was telling me to drill a hole into my sankes and installing aerating stones. I'm
  not going to dr...
