Ol Panbowl Ale

I want to build a whirlpool set up on my blichman 55. I fly sparge at a very slow trickle, and get great efficiency. I usually just hang hose over top of kettle and let it trickle down side. I was wondering if I fill my kettle through my whirlpool arm at a really slow rate, what happens when the...

I am getting ready to build w the exact same cooler. I was wondering about heat absorbtion. In my 48 quart, I used 180 deg. H2O to get 152 deg mash. How was it for you? Any suggestions or problems I might have? Anything you didn't like about it? Also, I've always used one single drip arm, and I...

Coffee honey porter 23 gallons. 1.073 S.G.
