I like the washing machine pan idea! Any good suggestions for a cart/table?

Question for those brewing indoors: what do you do to handle the inevitable drips, leaks, spills? My setup will be in a room with wood laminate flooring and no floor drain. How big of an issue is that? Any thoughts on how to best protect the floor from the inevitable? I'm transitioning from...

I've made a Woodford Bourbon porter several years in a row for the Ky Derby and am looking to up it to a Bourbon Stout. For anyone who's brewed this, how do you think it would be with half a bottle of bourbon + oak cubes?

x2 on stopping by Kickbacks when you get to Jacksonville Also, we have lots of great breweries here. Make sure to stop by the tap rooms at Intuition, Bold City and Aardwolf. I'd suggest avoiding River City Brewing Co.

Lol. Thanks all. Very excited!!

Thanks Aged 4 months. Definitely keeps getting better the longer it sits. Planning on hanging onto a few bottles and entering again next year

Sorry - was out of town last several days. You have it right - I mashed with 10 gallons. After the mash I suspended the back from a ratchet pulley overhead and drained out approx 4 gallons, leaving approx 4.5 gallons in the keggle. I poured 4.3 gallons through the grain bag, gave it...

Sorry - was 20#, not 10. Fixed in the post. While I agree it's not quite traditional, seemed to work very well. Based mostly on the feedback in this thread, seemed the best way for doing a 10 gallon biab in my keggle.

I have the bag suspended by a ratched pulley. Top of the grain bed was just below the top of the keggle.

Worked out really well. Mashed in with 10g for a 20# grain bill. After the mash-out, I drained approx 4g into a bucket, and did a pour over sparge with 4g of ground temp water. I pulled the grain bag and added back in my "first runnings", giving me a pre-boil volume of 13g. Will definitely...
