Never a problem with my SP10. You will love the Blichmann, though.

Cool. I love long term beers.

Yep sounds good.

I never ever thought I would ever have a reason or chance to disagree with you. But wife and I are self professed salsa whores, though, so I may be biased. And on that note, plant a garden, there's my money saving tip.

Since the grain is on the bottom of the kettle, right on the other side of the flame, there is a good chance for scorching if you aren't careful. Of course, if you are not running your burner during your mash, there is no need to worry. I had my burner on low, ramping it up for mashout and...

Cool! What size kettles are those?

That's exactly how I started out doing all grain. Worked great. I still use the very same torpedo screen in my cooler MT. I just learned the hard way about scorching.

Every day is Christmas morning when I'm drinking a homebrew.

I've never had anything but awesome service from NB. Same goes for Midwest, Austin, and High Gravity. My local store is okay at best, but great to have in a pinch, so in no way am I complaining about it. You have to keep in mind that everybody and their sister is ordering a Pumpkin beer kit this...

Go super caveman and quit racking to secondary.

Holy crap, dude! It probably finished in 12 hours! 2 packs for a 2.5 gal batch is insane. 2 packs of this stuff is damn near enough to do 25 gallons(if you are trying to stress it, anyway)

Hell yeah!

Opinions on how to make a certain beer style are as numerous as yeast count for a RIS (an English asston), none of which (here anyway) are wrong. With that being said, here's my experience- search for the Kate the Great recipe on here. It's a great beer. I use Pacman yeast in it. It will tear...

Not to butt in here, but I run a RIMS on my 10 gallon cooler, and during ramp up for mashout, I usually get 1-2 degrees per minute. Not too shabby.

Soak them in a tub of Oxyclean or PBW for a week or so. Sounds like a good score!

Haven't tried 3711 with an IPA yet, but have had EXCELLENT results with 3522. 3711 is one of my favorite yeasts, though, so rest assured that it will get thrown into a hop monster soon.

Stop thinking about it so much. It isn't going to make a difference if you steep your grains in one gallon or ten gallons. Try this-start warming your water. Once it hits 140ish, toss your bag of specialty grains in. Continue heating water. Once it hits 160, pull the grains out. You are not...

True. Couldn't agree more.
