    RIMS Element Advice Needed

    Is a 1500 W 110v element sufficient to maintain mash temperature? I'm only concerned will the ability to maintain the temp post dough-in. The tube body is 1 1/2" x 8" (not including the tees). I have a 10g system and do not plan to use it for step mashing. Assume a normal mash recirculating...

    Growing Barley

    Is it possible to restart the germination of barley that has been malted, or do you need to start with seed stock? What is the difference between the two? Do any posters grow their own barley? Resources for growing your own barley?

    Mixing Two Primaries

    We brewed our first 10G batch of an American Brown Ale and split it into two 5G primaries. I'm thinking that we should rack the top 2.5G of primary1 and the bottom 2.5G of primary2, etc. Would this result in a more consistent flavor when we eventually bottle?
