A sack of Belgian Pilsner malt, some tri clamp fittings, and in a few days a steam condenser so I no longer have to run an exhaust fan

I agree with everyone else, you should be fine. Just keep an eye on it

How long between pitching and discovering that the temp was 83?

Don't mind the mess, still building and finishing the room..

Glad to see another local guy on here! I'm just building out my brewery over on GI and have been looking at this software for my build!

I'm going the other way. Just bought a home and finally have the brew space I need for a full electric and mostly-automated system.

If you do end up getting rid of your valves, let me know.

I'm in!! In it to win it!

There are a few things to consider. First, is the DME light/amber/dark? Second, what temp were you steeping at? Third, what efficiency do you hit with your AG setup? Yes, you will get more fermentable sugars out of the grains, so you could always dial them down a bit. With that said, the...

Campden tablets and adjust your water with the necessary Epsom Salt for better hop characteristics. Get your latest water quality test / contents from your water provider and use the adjustments accordingly for an IPA.

I would go with 12lbs Light DME and about 3 lbs of Amber Candi Sugar. I used a combination of Wyeast 3787 (Trappist High Gravity) and Wyeast 1762 (Belgian Abbey II). If you want to really go over the top, you can cook down your own Candi Sugar for a fraction of the cost. There are many posts...

I started off with a homemade 25' immersion chiller that chilled within 15 minutes with the normally cool tap water we have around here. Then I upgraded it to a homemade counterflow that allowed me to place it wherever I wanted and dropped it to 12 minute-ish levels. I finally made the jump and...

Good to know! And thanks for the help! I don't mind throwing extra grain at it, but in the case of a Belgian Quad, I'm going to need the room for the standard grain bill and the mash /sparge water. Last one topped me out when it came out to 1.108. (With Candi Sugar)

I usually stir during the initial add of the grains to the mash tun to break up the dough balls, and maybe once or twice throughout the mash process. I'll try to adjust the mill for the next round of brewing on an IPA. I'll shoot for the low end around .030". When I designed the manifold, I...

I've been an avid homebrewer for over 8 years now and made the jump to all grain last year. I've upgraded most of my equipment and purchased a 40qt rectangular cooler with custom manifold, crankandstein 3E, pH meter, and 2 temperature probes. I've consistently only received around 58-62%...

I don't have the exact recipe, but I do have one that is close enough to start with and keep trying with. Harvest Clone (Base) 5 Gallon 10 lbs 2-Row Pale Malt (Or could use 6 lb Pale, 4 lb Maris Otter) 2 lbs Crystal 40L 8 oz Carafoam 1.25 oz Brewers Gold - 60 min 1 oz Columbus - 20...
