  I had thought about something like you posted, Flyguy. I probably saw your setup before, or one
  alot like it. It is slick. However, I have an old fridge that I wanted to use for a duel
  warm/cold chamb...

  Has anyone used a Better Bottle on a heat panel. I'm am talking about one of these: just used
  one with a brand new Better Bottle hooked up to a thermostat set to 68 degrees. I developed a
  divet on t...

  Very hot water may damage more than just the plastic lining. The first time I used my
  Rubbermaid 10 gallon, the plastic warped badly, but worked fine for awhile longer. However,
  about six months after...

  It's funny that you mention that, mine came the same way. I assumed it was some mistake on my
  part, so I left it at factory settings. I have gotten 82-84% eff on three batches. Perhaps next
  time I'll ...

  I simply raise...

  Are you going to the one in South Holland Illinois because I was there last month and there was
  no dust, it was really clean. I always call and order but I know a few that have went in and it
  took a l...

  I am going to be around Midcountry soon and I had a couple of questions about buying there. Can
  you just walk in and buy a sack or two, or must you call ahead? If you can walk in, is it very
  dusty? I ...

• Posted in thread: Vorlauf Problems on 11-05-2009 at 01:34 AM
  It's probably because of the change in tun geometry. The grain bed is now closer to the bottom
  of the cooler in the new rectangular Coleman Extreme. Also, the shallower depth allows for the
  disturbanc...
