Sounds like you've got it. It seems the 8210 series is intended for fuel. I can't imagine why you would run less than 5 psi through it.

I would agree putting the coil in the mash wouldn't work as well. By recirculating the wort through the coil/bath, you are indirectly heating the grain. The wort goes through the grain, it heats it relatively evenly. My system is fully automated and pretty nice. Just dial in the temp and it...

Basically you raise the grain bed to 169-170 before you start the sparge. If you hold that temp long enough, it will denature all the enzymes, thus locking in your sugar profile. Mostly, it offers some consistency in your process, but the time it takes to both denature, and bring the wort up to...

Yes, residual alkalinity is what matters. If you've got moderately hard water or harder, 5.2 Stabilizer is a good idea for now. If you can bandaid your pH for now, you can focus on more important tasks moving to AG. Or, just brew beer that matches or water and not worry about it.

Basically the wort is boiling in the jars, so some will get out. This is good, otherwise, the jars may bust from the contained energy. I just put the lids on, and loosely fit the bands and let it go. When I extract them, I tighten the bands to hold the lids in place until the vacuum seals it...

Provided shipping isn't outrageous, that site is a deal. I recently paid $75 for 60 feet of 1/2" at Menards.

Yeah, you need to balance your system. Figure how many vols of CO2 you want, then set the regulator at the proper pressure to corrispond to your keggerator temp. Then you need to add as much tubing as needed. 4 feet will be too short. My system is set for 12 psi @ 42 degrees and I use 6-7 feet...
