Hey guys, I'm about to do a big order from Austin Homebrew (most items) to complete my all-grain setup. I would love any feedback you have. "x" next to the item means I already have it.
A couple notes:
* I read the threads here and still decided on a 6.5g glass carboy.
* 2-tier BIAB on 5gal batches, standard 3-tier for 10gal buddy brew days
* I have tubing sizes figured out, and I'm pretty sure silicon is great for hot-side transfers, and whatever "thin walled siphon" tubing translates to is fine for everything else. Do my lengths look fine (figure siphon can always have extra)?
* Cold-side tubing is 3/8" to make my life easier hooking it up to the CFC
* Fermentech thief instead of a hydrometer cylinder? I didn't get a good vibe either way
* I know, I know - I'm bottling. That's my situation for now. Kegging will have to wait.
Thanks for taking the time to look through the list. I think I have everything, but I'll concede that I probably missed a couple of key items.
Take care,
Cameron
