Since you've had great success with zest in, what amount do you typically use for a 5 gallon batch you've made?

I've done both and I think the one of the primary reasons Palmer splits it up it to bring the mash up to mash-out temperature.

Please count me in.

once i added way too much gelatin to a 5 gallon batch (1 tbsp!) and I truly believe it messed up my head retention bigtime on my belgium tripel. but it was the clearest beer I've ever made.

Put me in please!

subscribed. wish I saw this good idea before I built a wooden Hopper for my crankanstein. can you post a quick link to the wooden insert CAD in the meantime cause this is a perfect weekend project?

I'd love to win something count me in!

Went with both. Have a false bottom (jaybird) and used to use a bazooka t instead. i just kept the same copper diptube, installed the hinged false bottom and then the bazooka t underneath. probably overkill but what else am i going to do with it? btw, the reason i wanted the false bottom in...

i know the Thermopen is the gold standard but its significantly more expensive then mine. is it really that much better than this? seems accurate enough for govt work

I also use a hop spider but the one from stainless brewing with (a 300?) micron screen. does a great job with pellet hops but nothing for hot break. but that goes straight through my plate chiller (gravity fed) and into the primary. always have extremely clear beers using either gelatin or...

yea that seems expensive for the handle. also it says its used, not that it would matter much just FYI. i recommend you visit your LHBS and ask if they have any old keg shells they can part out. may get a better deal.

From my experience my kettle (keggle) loses as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit during a typical one hour mash. I don't insulate in any way here during a Texas summer. No way a cooler loses that much that quickly . by the way, If you stick with a kettle, be sure to preheat it before mashing.

thanks for the code just about ready to purchse but quick question. do i even need a stand? i very rarely have more than 15 lbs of grain in my MLT and wont be using this in a boil kettle for filtering

I'm interested in buying one and a few more things thanks in advance

so if you don't keep them in a keezer do you bottle directly after keg carbing?

I think it just tastes better. it's probably in my head then again it's just as easy to add a little corn sugar to a keg, seal it, and let it sit for a few weeks on the side of my keezer. just requires a little more patience. if I need it carbed quickly I still force carb but I try not to.

I too am a regular gelatin user for all of my beers. In addition to the wonderful clarity it provides, it tends to round out the flavor profile of any of the beers Ive added it to. It does tend to affect the hop intensity/aroma of an IPA but only slightly and I can always dry hop after the...

i know some may disagree but I swear I messed up my head retention in a recent belgium tripel using too much gelatin. I used about 1.5 tablespoons in a 5 gallon batch (waay too much). it cleared quickly and beautifully but still, to this day, does not hold a head and barely leaves any lace on a...
