Has anyone tried to hard wire a fan in a kegerator from the control knob? I am thinking on using a computer fan. Thanks

This drained extremely well. I had to pull the bag away from the drain but that was no big deal. Yes I have a BIAB bag. I should have taken pics.

I see lots of writeups on mash tuns. All great ideas. However, nobody yet has suggested this. Instead of a false bottom or a filter from a plumbing piece, use a BIAB bag as a filter. I tried it last week and it worked perfectly. No stuck sparges and I could sparge quickly.

Dudadiesel.com. They have bucket strainers. I have a 70 micron one that works great.

Thanks. This batch has been bottled. I will take all of your recommendations into account for my 2015 Stout.

Thanks but why add to the priming sugar and not the boil?

I brewed a Sierra Nevada Stout clone. 5 gallons all grain BIAB. Added 1 lb oats. Mashed at 151F which after an hour it was at 149F. It tastes nice but I wanted more body Any suggestions? Thanks.

I also insulate the bucket with 2 large blankets.

I would brew in a stainless kettle. The mash tun would have my bag so no need to worry about grain beds or stuck sparges.

Greetings. I had a discussion with a fellow home brewer on vessels. I believe you can mash with a food grade pail. Also why not primary and secondary in the same fermentation pail. Have a valve at the bottom to drain the trub. Comments or problems are encouraged. Thanks

I tried it at Diagon Alley at Universal. Loved it. Brewed by Florida Beer Company. They will not disclose the recipe. Anyone know the recipe? Thanks

10/4!!

Why cook puree? Just curious.

Just started and a very young 50
