    Anvil brew buck transfer tube rust

    So I bought a new ss anvil brew bucket and when taking it apart the transfer/dip tube looked like it had rust at the weld area. So I contacted support and they sent me a new one.

    Grain bag for pellet hops vs spider

    Ok so I get there is all types of options for dealing with hop filtering. The top things I see are 1. No filtering just whirlpool some left over junk could be good, but if using a valve/tubing it could get clogged. Possibly more kettle cleaning needed. 2. Stainless steel hop spider basket...

    10gal or 15gal pot for 2.5 and 5 gallon batches

    Almost have everything to start brewing again but still need a pot for BIAB. My thought is I want to do mostly 2.5gal batches but want the ability to do 5gal as well. Would 15gal pot be to big for 2.5gal batches. The main reason for wanting to go with a 10gal pot is to make it easier to clean...
