Bump! :-)

I posted earlier, but forgot how to have the picture display without having to click on a link... anyway.... here's my girl Sydney, one more time....

General items

I used the calculators on the gf website and the gf app... my volumes came out correctly for the size of my batch. I boiled for 90 mins...

I received mine yesterday too... was concerned about some of the issues others were/are having. This morning, I connected all the parts and did a heating test. Here are the results: added 10 L of 131 F water set switches to mash/mash pump on set mash setpoint to 154 F it took 22 minutes...

I just purchased a roll of Reflectix from Lo*es... $25. It's 24" tall x 25' long... I've heard some folks double wrap their GF...

Or maybe this will work... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/photo/graincoat-dimensions-66570.html

Well... I have the file, not the link. I'll pm you... :-)

Congrats on the GF! I can't wait to get mine too! As far as the reflectix, you'll need the 24".... do you have the template for the cutouts?

No prob. We all make mistakes... you will too! I think that a new brewer might be better suited to make 5 gallon batches, not that you can't start with 10. But 5 gallon batches will allow you to brew more often... unless you have a bunch of friends to share your beer with. I am biased...

That system looks fine... Honestly either one is going to work for you... and that's what it's really all about. What is going to make you happy? 10 gallon batches might be a good thing for you... for me... I prefer 5 gallon batches. Not that one is better than the other... its just what...
