I had the same problem with my jaybird false bottom this weekend. My first runnings were fine but the problem arose when stirring the grain at my first batch sparge water addition. I recirculated for 10 minutes or so but it never cleared. My pump clogged once and thermowell tee at my ball...
Any suggestions where to place a temp probe on my direct-fired RIMS keggle. I have seen thermowells placed at the valve outlet at the bottom of the MLT and through the wall. It seems to me that a thermowell that is placed though the wall into the center of the mash will give me the most...
I am in the process of upgrading from my 10 gal Igloo cooler MLT to a keggle MLT. My cooler has a 12" domed false bottom that fits perfectly through the hole that I cut in the top of the keg, but does not cover the entire bottom. I plan on direct firing my keggle MLT for temp maintenance and...

Today I just purchased two 13.2 gal kegs and one 15.5 gal keg. Any suggestion how I should set them up? My plan was to use the 15.5 as the MLT and the 13.2's as the HLT and kettle. I would like to brew 10 gal batches down the road but would I be able to boil a 10 gal batch with a 13.2 gal...
