Flyguy, how did you build your two-chamber randall? I am just about finished with my one chamber randall but hear it foams like crazy. i'm interested to see how your two-chamber one performs and, also, how you assembled them together. Any pictures you can share? Thanks! Scott

I know this is a few months old, but I just brewed a recipe similar to this today. It's in my ferm. chamber right now. My question for you is - at what temperature did you let this ferment? I have it at 68F right now but was thinking of stepping it up one degree every day for two weeks OR...

thanks for the advice. i'm definitely going to go the fast acting fuse route. however, my local home depot did not have (or the worker bee i talked to could not find) a panel mount fuse holder. but they did have an inline fuse holder (link here...

With regard to the fuse, I picked up a fuse holder with fuse, as described in the BYO article. However, what I'm not sure about is what kind of fuse to use. I believe the article says to use a 10A fuse. I picked up two different kinds - time delay and fast acting. Which one is more...

RM-MN, Is that normally the case? I was under the impression that BIAB was less efficient. I guess it really depends on the brewer? Seems like brewing is really a very personal thing. I'm excited! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Home Brew mobile app

This may seem like a silly question but, if I am a BIAB brewer, can I follow any all-grain recipe exactly how it is listed? Or do I need to make modifications to it? Thanks!! (BTW, my Rubbermaid plastic pitcher is on its way)!

This has been really informative. Based on the feedback here, I am going to do a mashout at around 170F to stop conversion as wilserbrewer suggested. Also, I will plan on adjusting the IBUs of the hops. Pure oversight on my part, but I think it makes good sense when you consider that I...

Thanks for the input, guys. I took a look at all three calculators and calvey's biabcalculator and newnick's copycalc are giving pretty similar answers. I couldn't quite figure out the other one (simplebiabcalculator). So, thanks for sharing those links. For my split batches, I plan on...

So, I finally decided to go all-grain, but with training wheels. I am making the switch from extract to BIAB all grain but I have some questions and need some advice. I hope I am keeping this fairly simple by trying a (sort of) SmAsH recipe. I have an 11 Gallon kettle that I am going to use...

As Larzean asked, I, too, read this entire thread and the Jan 2012 BYO article. The only place I see any mention of fuses is in the article but I did not see anything indicating why it is used. There is no mention of a fuse in this thread. What, exactly, is the purpose of the fuse? Is it...

Hi everyone, I made it about 20 pages into the thread, but didn't see anything that would answer my question. Anyway, I am in the process right now of letting my cider bottle-carbonate after using FAJC. I plan on using this pasteurization method once my plastic soda bottle test tells me it's...
