I used to get Zymurgy years ago (mid 90's), but now Homebrewtalk.com, BYO or whatever comes up in the search results on google.

Since this post is similar to my issue I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. I’m in TN and I ordered (2) WLP001 with one ice pack from MoreBeer. It shipped from CA, through AZ in early Sept. Took 4 days then arrived while out of town so sit on front porch another day. I actually had a...

I'm in.

Received my new false bottom from Jaybird (NorCal Brewing) 15" hinged with handle and stand. Very sturdy 16 gauge much stronger than my original 18 gauge. Wanted to give Jay a thumbs up for giving some great ideas on reversing the flow when I mash out which should loosen the grain bed. Also...

I have been corresponding with Jaybird and after I told him I have a RIMS system he suggested a 15" with a stand underneath since by design there is almost constant pressure on the FB because I have to recirculate during the entire mash and because I don't want excessive heat build up in the...

Yes it was domed. I don't know the gauge. I bought it used, but it measures about 1mm so I think it is 18 gauge. I have ordered a Jaybird from Norcal which is supposed to be 16 gauge so hopefully will hold up without having to add additional support. If ever do I now know that I need to add...

I know this thread is a little old, but yesterday I did an accidental experiment that I think clearly demonstrates the pressures at the bottom of a mash tun. A pic of my system is attached which uses 15gal kegs. I was using a plain jane stainless steel false bottom with no support underneath. I...
