ok thanks. yea it makes sense when you think about cold side/hot side.

Thanks for all the great responses. to those who are offended sorry for your luck. i spend a couple hours a night reading this forum and it has been a great help. why would i want to lie about searching for something when i can tell the truth an get the same, it not better results. most people...

I have a 5 gallon cooler that i would like to put a false bottom in to use for partial mash brewing. Is there any reason why i couldnt use the same cooler as a bottling bucket?

So instead of searching for hours though the forum I was hoping someone would explain the why i should or should not wash my yeast. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Its already available. PYREX

is there a right or wrong way to hook it up? what i mean is should the outlet come from the bottom or top of the coil?

i just received and ic as well. i dont plan to brew for a couple weeks but was wondering if i should first boil my new ic in water to clean it before its 1st use.

ok. no worries. i can sanitize again. its easy enough especially with a vinator. i was just hoping to not repeat a step.

Im just about ready to bottle my 1st beer(blonde ale). i sanitized with star san and left bottles on tree wednesday night. i planned to bottle tonight(friday) but it looks like im not going to have time until sunday. do i need to sanitize my bottles again? i was thinking they should be good...

this thread maybe kinda old but when i screwed the fat white part into the base i held the spray nozzle to prevent it from rotating. this helped to keep the spring on the pedestal.

sounds like a plan but i gotta say i have no idea what is involved. i have only done 1 extract. im planning a 2nd right now. this one is gonna be a full boil though.

im in cordova,just outside easton. newbie here though. have made a few wines and have my first beer in the secondary now

i would be careful when using strong cleaners on aluminum. your gonna need to reseason afterwards. if it was my pot i would boil water mixed with white vinegar and lemon juice.

if you can get a zero water filter its much better than a brita

i can wait.lol thankfully i've learned a little patience from making wine.
