    Recirculating mash - direct fire under my kettle?

    Hi there, Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I'm thinking of upgrading my system soon, and I'd like to go for a recirculation pump on my mash tun. I like direct heat, so far I got good results just using a regular boil kettle to mash, then would transfer into my next vessel through a bag for...

    New mash tun, efficiency problems

    Hi. So I did a 3 gallon batch yesterday with my new mash tun but had two problems: one, if I did my calculations right (which i think I did), I only got about 47% efficiency; two, the wort was cloudy and full of tiny bits when I drained the mash and during the sparge. I built my tun according...

    Deep Cleaning Boil Kettle Question

    Every brew, before I begin and after I'm done, gets a hot PBW soak with a Star San rinse. I put all my equipment away clean, sanitized, and dry every time, no exceptions. I decided to pull apart the bulkhead, its fittings, the thermometer, and sight glass and was astounded at the amount of...

    Stay with BIAB... Or move on to "Regular" all grain brewing?

    Due to space and inexperience, I quickly gravitated towards the BIAB method and grabbed myself a 10-gallon kettle and a bayou classic burner. I have about 10 brew days with the BIAB system under my belt and can't complain about the results. My question is one that most homebrewers probably go...

    Mash Tun choices

    Hi All, I was contemplating making or buying a mash tun. I have watched various videos and done a little research in regards to making a mash tun. However, it seems like it is simple to do, however the bottom filter that you get doesn't look as though it'd be as effective or easy to clean as...

    How much grain in a 5 Gallon Mash Tun Converted Cooler?

    So I just picked up two 5G coolers that I'm converting to mash tun. I'm going to start out with grain bags. Yes.... slippery slope to all grain. So instead of figuring this out myself, can one of you tell me how much grain I can realistically put into a 5G upright cooler? (the get the...
