Actually, it's a 5 gallon kettle. I guess I didn't enter it correctly in to beer smith. I wish I had the capability to do a full wort boil, but I only have an electric stove top right now and that...

Awesome, good advice. Thank you!

Also, when bringing down the hops for the beginning additions, should I be shooting for the same bitterness of 67.9 IBUs through adjusting the late additions? ...

I may have used the wrong word. I plan on putting the milled grain in to a muslin bag, and let it sit in about 1 gallon to 1.5 gallons of sub 160F water for about 30 minutes. Should I do that for...

Just to clarify, I'm going to steep the grains pre-boil and I split the extract addition to raise the ABV and prevent caramelization.

That's beer you're tasting. I think the problem must be that you don't like the taste of beer.

I'm only kidding.

Thanks!

Have you tried putting 3/8' directly in to the bung, and does that work well?

That's exactly what I'm concerned about. Sticking the tubing directly in to the hole of the bung (i.e. the bung hole) works well for you. I know that sounds silly, but it's a serious question. ...

Blow-off Question

I’ve seen people use the base piece of a 3-piece airlock to make a blow-off hose. They simply slip a 1/2” ID piece of vinyl tubing over the middle cylinder that comes out of it. I was considering...

You're right though, it does look a bit jumbled. Forgive my improper syntax on a forum post. :D
