Count me in

A 10 gallon pot is the perfect size for 5 gallon all grain batches. A typical 5 gallon batch starts out at 6.5-7 gallons pre boil. The remaining space gives you some breathing room to avoid boilovers. On the other hand if you are doing extract or partials and topping off a 10 gallon pot will...

Glad to hear that the I phone survived. Enjoy the maiden voyage on your new electric brewery. Should only take a few batches to get everything dialed in. I can totally relate to the first batch after all the planning, work, real life delay's and everything else involved to get to this point. Do...

[Hope the phone survived. That would really suck. Could be the most expensive part of my build..a new iPhone!!!! :drunk: :( :(:confused::confused::confused:

Had the same issue with Auber cables. They are very delicate. I bit the bullet and bought a custom cable from the electric brewery. Problem solved.

Would really love to win something. Count me in.

I have a 10 gallon blich. The id of the kettle is 13 5/8". Have the Camco 5500 watt element ripple installed with 1/8" clearance. Just my 2 cents but if it was me I would stay away from any element that is zinc plated. BTW love your spreadsheet.

Welcome. You have come to the right place. These guys will have you brewing great beer in no time.

Temperature control during fermentation is key to making great beer. I live in an apartment and have utilized the swamp cooler method to keep temps in check. Your beer is not destroyed fermenting at 72 however you may pick up unwanted esters (fruity flavors). A rubbermaid tote bin and frozen 2...
