Update: I was able to reach them by phone at around 5PM PST and then got a quick call back with my order status. I was told to expect the parts in the next day or so and the order status was then updated online to "shipped". Assuming the stuff shows up per the call yesterday and that the...

I certainly am not trying to disparage these guys, and I fully support small businesses and recognize there can be rough patches. I support my own local HBS for the same reasons you mention...big supporters of homebrewing, local clubs, etc. Having said that, after 8 days the only status on...

Same status here...not sure if my small order from a week ago has shipped or not. (Showing only "printed" as status for past 6 days). Being patient for return call or email, but at some point will need to move on to another vendor. Hopefully I am wrong and the package shows up soon.

GreenDragon: Thanks for the info, but I am curious if the hop schedule as posted on page 28 is a little confusing: Original: "Hops Magnum - 6 IBU at 98 C Simcoe - 5 IBU at 15 After beginning of boil Amarillo - 15.7 IBU at 5 Before end of boil Amarillo - 10.7 IBU in the whirlpool" The whole...

count me in....Thanks!

I'm back & I'm in!

I used a Dremel cutting disk to make the slots, but same idea, and agree never close to a stuck mash. As for temp, I have not done that small of a batch in mine, but if I use less than 30# of grain I will usually put a loose layer of aluminum foil over the grain bed, and this has helped...

Cool! Thanks

I saw this cooler today @ Lowes in Columbus, OH for $29 (I got mine there a couple of months ago), and at the local SAM's Club for $29 also.....pretty decent deal for a big mash-tun. I am going to mash 37lbs in mine tomorrow....

I have only one batch for comparison so far in this cooler. It worked great with 38.5lbs of grain. The mash may have been a bit thick, but did not seem like it was much below 1qt/lb much if at all. I actaully think I could have added a couple of more pounds. Ended up with 16 gallons (after...

I guess the more accurate statement from me would be "potential" boil overs. The 5 gallon batches seem to have the tendency to foam up quickly to take up the available headspace in my pot. If the 10 to 15 gallon batches did the same I likely would have more issues with boil overs...

Same here...I use a 22 gal pot to do 5/10/15 gal batches. I think I get more spontaneous boil overs on the 5gal batches than with the 10 or 15. It may have to do somewhat with me being more diligent when there is not as much head space (like for a 15 gal batch), but I really do not think...

paddle me!....hmmmm
