    Setting temp controller temperature

    I just got a fridge and a Johnson A419 controller. I've been playing around with it tonight and doing some temp readings off of a 6 gallon better bottle filled with water with the probe taped to the side then covered with several folded sheets of paper towel for insulation. The difference...

    60qt Aluminum Pot

    Sold! I have a 60qt pot that I no longer need. It's about 20.5" wide by 11" tall. It already has a hole drilled for a weldless bulkhead. Evaporation on my boils was about 25% per hour just to give you an idea. I was thinking $30 plus shipping costs. It's a larger item so shipping may be a...

    Sampling grains for taste

    Being a relatively new brewer I've been wondering what different grains offer for flavor. I've read what they taste like and what they add, but having no reference for a 'biscuity' flavor or other such descriptions has left me wondering about these. I'm wondering if there is a way to sample...

    Typical heat loss using a 48qt cube cooler

    So this weekend I did my first all grain brew. I have a 48 quart Igloo cube cooler that I'm using for my mash tun. I started at 153° and after 45 minutes I was down to 149°. I preheated with 170° water, so maybe I need to go hotter or keep it in there longer. So I guess my question is has...

    I finally have all my equipment together for an all grain so I thought I would commemorate it with my first label too. I wanted to do an APA since I have some suitable hops laying around and the grain bill seemed pretty straight forward. I was trying to think of a name and ended up seeing a...

    Some questions about my equipment

    I've already posted a couple other threads about the equipment I got, but now I have a couple more questions. I added a drain tube to my brew pot and with it's placement I have the ability to drain all but a few cups of liquid. Towards the end of draining it I started to get some bubbling in my...

    Pickup tube for boil kettle

    I'm going to be adding a spigot to my boil pot, not a keggle, and I was wondering if the size of the dip tube from the spigot makes a difference. I was thinking that I'd go with 1/2" hard copper pipe. The only problem I may run into is that my pot is 11" tall and 20" around, so leaving too...

    40qt Overkill for 5 Gallons?

    Is this pot overkill: http://www.restaurantsupplyhouse.com/servlet/the-55/40-qt.-Medium-Weight/Detail I want to start some AG brews but will only be doing 5 gallons, so essentially 6 gallons of pre-boil wort. The price is right and I don't really care that it's aluminum, but will this size...
