So the washers are essentially what's keeping it liquid tight?

I was asking about the couplings and the washers. When I took all the metal out of my old tun and tried to connect it to this one I was left with a lot of gaps since the spout on this coleman is larger than the old one. I'm trying to figure out how to keep it leak proof.

Paul, what size tubing are you using? The one I have from my previous tub doesn't fit proper and it looks like your brain and drain set up are very similar to mine.

Came in the mail today! Looking forward to converting it.

Thanks for all the input. I'm a batch sparger, btw.

No, a Rubbermaid. I heat my dough-in water up to around 175 and add it to the tun. It tends to stabilize after 10 or so min to my actual dough-in temps, 162 give or take a few deg. Then I dough in, let it settle for 10 min and read. The other annoying aspect of this cooler (and maybe it's other...

I made a correction to my earlier statements above. Please read.

Here's our report that ran on Wednesday (I think. Maybe Tuesday). http://bit.ly/mQmM56

First things first, this legislation is now in the Governor's hands as it's part of the state budget. He is considering which parts of the budget to veto and there has been bipartisan support from legilatures to have him veto this. He'll be signing the vetoed budget on Sunday, June 26th, but has...

My current tun is a 48 qt cooler that doesn't hold temp that well. It'll usually drop 3-4 deg over the hour. I'm considering an upgrade to a Coleman Extreme cooler (we use one for camping and it holds ice for days). There's a 70 and 50 qt available on line for $40 each. I mostly brew 5 gal...

Yes, please!

I don't have the means for electric, and I'm brewing up 10 gal today. Or at least planned to. I do tend to use the garage when it's windy but I still have to keep an extra door open for ventilation a that causes a strong cross wind too.

Stupid wind is stopping me from brewing. 15 mph with gusts up to 25. Any way to combat this?

I guess I wouldn't be that surprised if they used Pilsner as their base and suplimented with Pale or Marris Otter malts. Maybe a 70/30 split?

Busted in to Hookstrat's 10-10-10 today. Quick notes are the aroma is 10! Fantastic malt nose with a hint of coriander and dark fruit. Very inviting. Sadly the flavor does not match. High fusel flavor kind of masks everything else. Body is also excellent though. Any idea why the alcohol would...

I've read a lot of the links and info Kaiser has put up, and I definitely take a look at "Lager Beers". I'm always up for a new book. The only reason I was considering a protein rest is because it's a dunkelweizen. It was my understanding that protein rests are benefitial with wheats, even...

I'm a big fan of my Rye Pale Ale
