on the sparger acidification page i dont think i changed anything with dilution water. if i used straight distilled for sparging wouldnt that be diluting too much compared to my additions as it stands now?

i have a question that isnt making sense to me about bru'n water. on the water adjustment page it askes for % of dilution water. i am chosing 50% distilled for that number. then on the summary page it it is saying to only dilute the mash water and not the sparge water. so, for a 5.5 gal batch it...

I have for sale a 10 gallon mash tun. In great shape. The original electronic thermometer did die but everything else is perfect. I have the vorlouf attachment that I have not installed yet but it will come with it. Looking for a local sale to 03051 ( Hudson nh) if possible. Looking for $300...

Didnt realize I didnt put the est of Est OG WAS 1.107

I've brewed this same recipe on 5 gallons and got less efficiency than small beers but not this bad.

No dough balls we could see. Next time we will go back to my painful grain mill and see if that helps at all

Tap water on my refrac and hydro were both 1.000. Batch sparging just as I did before on my 5 gal system.

hey guys, i dont post a ton but always try to keep an eye on things. but now i have a concern jumped to 10gallon batch sizes and not much ans changed in theory with the system. 2 - 20 gallon pots one being a mash tun and a third pot for HLT i did have my LHBS crush my grain and i over shot my...

it feels chincy and cheap. I do not like the no shut off. I want to look into a thermometer with an adjustable face to tilit it up a bit more on both my MT and BK from them. quality build, too bad they cheaped out there

looks great!

sorry to bring back an old thread but does your digital thermometer have a shut off or do you have to remove the batteries? or am I completely missing something? mine does not seem to have a shut off switch for it anywhere and I have to take the batteries out every time I use it which is a...

awesome! you will love that thing. I usually throw a pot of near boiling water in ( maybe 2 gallons) into the tun to warm it up and it helps reduce heat loss big time. I can hold to within 1-1.5* for the hour mash. the do have an electric heater for it as well that im interested in.

i didnt order any expedited shipping on anything. I am also in NH so I am across country which will take a little bit longer I would guess hahaha

shipping for my 10 gal through morebeer took a lil while. I also just got in the 10 gal kettle and that took about 8-10 days from ssbrewtech.

i have the 10 gallon ss mash tun and I have only got 2 brews under my belt with it. yesterdays brew was an 11 lb grain bill and it was a little less than half full. 11 lbs of grain with 4 gals of strike water
