I brewed a pumpkin ale last week with 90oz of canned pumpkin and 3 lbs of graham crackers in with the mash. I had 2 lbs of rice hulls in there too, but it didn't matter and I had a completely stuck sparge in my cooler mash tun. In the process of getting the sparge going, the braided line in the...

I'm a long time lurker on this site, and not an absolute newbie to brewing, but still pretty new. I have done several 2.5 gallon batches with a friend starting out with a Mr. Beer kit and continuing to use the Mr. Beer fermenter with ingredients from a LHBS. I moved a few months ago and just...
