10 gal batch with 120 oz of libbys pure pumpkin mashed in a 10 gal orange rubbermaid cooler with a false bottom. No I didn't pre-soak the hulls. I've done it before but didn't bother with it this time around as I already upped my water volumes to compensate for the pumpkin absorption. You know...
Just brewed a 10 gallon batch of this recipe. Please for the love of all that is holy, USE LOTS OF RICEHULLS! I made the mistake of only using 1lb of rice hulls and had the slowwwwesst sparge ever. Seriously, like a 5 hour sparge. Next time I brew this I will be using about 3-4lbs of rice hulls.
How big is your main BK? I would use that new kettle and burner you scored as the HLT. Install a sight glass on it and you're good to go. Then use the 12 gallon cooler as your MLT.
LOL, you guys are jerks. Seriously though, the filmy layer on top would worry me. Also, can you take better macro pictures of those grayish blobs floating in there.
I'm going to resurrect an old thread here. Last night I went to go check on my yeast starter and all of a sudden noticed a tiny gnat come flying out of nowhere and hovered around the foil covering my flask. I tried to swat it away but it managed to get into the flask. It did NOT come in contact...
It will not stop all of the tiny hop particles from coming through, which is fine with me since I also whirlpool. It does stop about 95% of hop matter.
Just throw them into the BK. I would not put more than 2oz of pellets in the 4x4 inch ball. I see they have a 5 1/2" diameter ball now. Think ill get one
