    Would this work as a beginner boiling pot?

    I started with a five gallon. Then got an eight. Then got a twelve. If I could have read the future I would have started with the twelve.

    My BIAB brewstand

    I actually got the steel from my work, it was going out for recycling. The ball valve on the end of the chiller gives me control over the flow and outgoing temp. The slightest adjustment on that valve shows instantly on the temp gauge. If you don't have access to a welder Home Depot sells some...

    My BIAB brewstand

    I just made a 26" x 20" platform out of 2" square steel and a crossmember for the chiller to rest on. Welded some swivel caster to the bottom.

    Newbie Question

    Your pitching temp sounds ok to me. What yeast are you using? Different yeasts have different optimal temps. As for your cellar temp, if it gets any lower that might be too cold for most ale yeasts. I would bring it inside. The lower temp would also cause that slow start as well. I ferment all...

    which quick disconnect

    Im considering going with quick disconnects. I was wondering if anyone knows the pros and cons between the stainless and the Polysulfone. Between a few online shops and my local shop (baders) I really dont see but a couple dollar difference.

    Promash file converter

    I downloaded a brewers assistant app for my android phone which appears to be real cool looking. But before I can transfer my promash (rec) files to my phone they need to be converted into an XML file (like beersmith uses). I've googled it and messed around for a few hours trying to get a couple...
