Do we have any sort of basic time frame that we are thinking for mash in, just looking to get this rolling on the earlier side of things.
we have 2 things to talk about!
We can point and make fun of everyone else, regardless! Have you never learned that the easiest way to cure your problems is to ignore them and focus on someone else's?I wpuld rather get started early and as I mentioned earlier, point and make fun of everyone else! I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'.
I'll probably not get up there until after 8 at the earliest unless you just need me there for some reason. I like sleep. Skee and I will coordinate but I'd say 8 is pushing it. Unless we all have a big pajama party or something. I know Boston will love that!I don't want to find anyone in the driveway when I wake up to make my coffee, but I am fine with early. How early you talking?
I've often wondered... Wouldn't something like this work... And for much cheaper?

Here's a Cu and Al one:

It is even cheaper.
Quoting myself because I'm just that awesome... Do you think something like that would work for wort chilling?
Barc, you'll probably get a more widespread response if you post this in a main category such as equipment and sanitation. I don't think there's many people following this thread outside of us GRABASSers.
Walker said:In principal, I think it would work. It's a heat exchanger.
However, since it is not intended for use on food/beverage, I wonder if there might be small amount of oil or other crud inside of it that you wouldn't want touching your wort.
I really have no idea, though.
Here's an idea: I might delay myself and take a late shift on brewing that day. If we have chilling problems and have to resort to using tap water to chill, I will capture that water from the CFC or IC output and use it for my brew water.
Recycling!

I'm making another batch of "Holy Grail", but I'm going to use Treacle this time instead of molasses.
What is the differences between the two? I've seen and read conflicting stuff and never really understood.
and how frigging big is Skee's mash tun!?
mashng in with 31 quarts of water (~8 gallons) and 25lbs of grain!?
I don't want to pee on your parade, but this is NOT going to fit into a 10 gallon cooler.
Just recalced with 1qt/lb. It raises the temp up to 164.2 and, of course, 25 qt of water. Think that will fit?
It'll be damn full, but will probably fit.
That 10 gallon batch that we did here last weekend had 20lbs of grain and we mashed with 25qt water (1.25qt/lb). I had about two gallons of head space in my tun. I used that 2gal of space when I did the mashout addition (even though I really WANTED to use 2.5 gal for mashout.
You've got 5lb more of grain than we had for the pilsner, so you will probably be filled to the brim with your mash. You won't have any room for a mash-out water addition, don't know if that matters to you.. and you will not have room to adjust temps, so just get it right.
