I usually mash for 60 minutes. I don't do an iodine test, I just let it go for 60 minutes. None of those malts are particularly had to convert.

Exactly where in Metro Atlanta are you located?

Actually, the last two buys were from Wine Workshop in Decatur. The last one was a customer appreciation sale but he used the group buy pricing, if memory serves. One of you guys that shop there, or are local should drop by and talk to Gerald about doing it again. I haven't been in the store...

That is a crazy low price. I am going to check my local HD. Thanks for the heads up.

ZING Brew Club is up for another group buy.

I placed an order late, yesterday afternoon. I just received an email that it was ready for pick up. It was a order consisting of two different recipes, some bulk hops, misc specialty grains and tubing. I can't complain.

I think you are right, it comes down to durability. I am actually thinking the stainless version might be better. There would be no corrosion, like happens with copper. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I saw an article, BYO maybe, about a CFC made from PVC on the outside. It was a horizontal CFC. Was that what you did? Do you have photos?

Thanks, I have a pump and ball valves already.

Looks like Williams Brewing has an all stainless steel version that the inner wort tubing in convoluted, inside the outer tubing. Says it insures better cooling.

True, I didn't think about putting it in the oven.

I am looking at my options for counter flow wort chillers. Most of the ones that I have seen are rubber on the outside, but some are all copper. What are the pros and cons of each? I can see where an all copper chiller might last longer than one with rubber tubing on the outside. Thoughts?

I would be interested in another buy as well. I want some Weyermann Pilsner for sure.

Hopefully Ed can make some positive changes and turn things around. I really like ordering from them and have usually gotten good service. I have ordered items that were out of stock, more than once. They usually contact me, in the case of yeast, and ask me about making a substitution. Maybe...

Thanks, that makes sense.
