Yopper, So this would be a 5 gal batch right? So 6 gal boil? 60 min boil? 60 min mash?

How many oz of priming sugar has everyone been using for this?? I used 5 oz but doesn't seem to be carbonating. Unsure whether it is too little sugar or the temps of 55 to 60 in my garage are too low and preventing it.

What were the OG and FG for this brew?? What yeast did you use??

Won't that bring out those tanins I don't want by doing this process though?

Problem is my tun is pretty much full. Got some water boiling but don't think I could put on enough to make a difference. It's a 90 min mash too so worried there for temp loss

So I was suppose to mash at 152* and heated strike water to about 168* to compensate. Well once I got the grains mixed well I was at 143*. Is there anything I can do and/or am I ok?? Thoughts or suggestions??

Love it. Exactly, I feel the same way. Quick question, do you have a quick or easy schematic for the copper manifold?

Yea I was looking at both but was leaning more toward the square flat top one without the wheels. That dome top had me thinking the same thing

What's your recipe??

Yea the grain bed and extra space is what rose a concern to me too

Hahahahahaha

Well it is one of those 5 day coolers, which is why I thought to get it.

Is there a such thing as too big of a mash tun? I have been using a 5 gal igloo and was looking to upgrade. I looked at a 70 quart cooler. Is that too big to use for higher 5 gal batches and 10 gal batches? If so, is there a rule of thumb for such things???

Almost mid boil on a goose island sofie clone right now...

44 gallons?!?!?!?!?! Any reasons or occasion, or just love stout?
