No pump :(

Ok, that sounds good. Do I even have to do the oxyclean? I bought this as an IC from MidwestSupplies, and have only run cold tap water through it. So will I be able to just run straight vinegar through a few time and call it clean. As far as storing...I will store it dry. I was mainly...

No you won't need anything extra. The pot will barely hang over the edge, but it won't matter in your case. Well, I dont have anything else to compare it to, but when I crank it up it sounds like a jet :)

That one inch extra diameter of your pot is nothing to worry about. Is your pot flat on the bottom? If so, it's fine. I have a converted keg on my SP10. I have to use an old grill grate because the rim of the keg is 15"...but it still works fine.

I have no idea. Shoprite Brand Distilled White Vinegar.

Yep, 3/4" hose for the outer tube. Ok cool. I just wanted to make sure that using Iodophor was OK. I wasn't sure if it had to fully dry to be safe. Also, the cleaning procedure seems ok? How much Oxyclean should be used for 5 gallons of water for something like this? And vinegar...would 1...

I cut a hole in my keg with a 3/4" hole saw and use PAM for oil. Works like a charm.

Ok, I've done some a lot of searching and reading, but I want to ask a few final questions before using my CFC for the first time. A little background...I had a 50' IC of 1/2" tubing that I converted to a counterflow chiller. So, first things first...I have yet to clean this bad boy. I...

there's a reason you haven't found hard evidence of the final results... Because there isn't any :) Theoretically, all things being equal, fly spargeing will yield higher efficiency. Fly spargeing may also increase the risk of leeching tannins from the grains but I don't remember ever hearing...

What I want to know is where you got that raisable luater tun!!! Do you do the 'Brew in a Bag' method of brewing?

Yea, what do you mean by no sparge? I'm actually thinking of doing something like this on my next batch. I have plenty of room in my mash tun, so I was thinking I will mash with the normal amount of water, then after the 60 minute mash, dump ALL the sparge water in and do one big drain into...

Well, I have officially shattered my personal 'Longest Thread' record. Just have to say to Forrest -- Thanks for the excellent product!! You will be my 'Sorta-Local HBS' for the time being, unless you start ripping me off, :)

To take his comment a step further...we need a valid reason why the price went up, or we won't shop there :)

**DELETED ENTRY** BLAH, not even worth it. Regardless of what that guy says there is a grain shortage affecting prices of every grain based product. But not like that. And I dont feel that I or anyone should just say, yea...let all the other ******-bags buy grain from this guy. That's why I...

I recently went to a LHBS near me to buy ingredients. I left with some Iodophor... I hate that place first of all, because you have to buy the grain in their special increments. For instance, I can't get 5oz of Roasted Barley...I have to buy a whole pound. The Problem is, they are charging...
