Any idea of an estimate of how long it would take to get down to pitching temp? Love the idea of being able to save/reuse water. Are the initial buckets of tap water pretty effective to start?

oh perfect, I do have a garden hose attachment on one end of the ID tube - - would it fit on to this pump? Then the other end of the ID tube where the water comes out you just recirculate the water right?

Okay I like this idea a lot! I know my tubing is 3/8 ID -- so for this pump I would need to get a smaller nozzle to attach it to right? Thanks!

Borrowing a friends chiller may be just the trick as I remember my buddy has one. What is the best way for me to connect them? Mine has the garden hose attachment on one end.

This may be a completely stupid idea, but what the heck. This will be my first time brewing a 10 gallon batch this weekend and I don't want to spend hours cooling it. I have an immersion chiller, but as the weather is in the 80s-90s it isn't exactly cold water from the ground. So my idea: Can...

Welcome Back! Keep us updated on first brews as you get things rolling again!

btw...how did the pyrex work out for you?

Guess the graduated part isn't the most important, but I definitely want something that can hold 32 ounces or more so I'm not spending forever with a small soup ladle.

Ladle/dipper -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064ODD82/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This was one option I also thought of -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CI6Z8U/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Feel I'd prefer having the long handle, but I guess the measuring pitcher wouldn't be terrible

Hi All- Brewing an Oktoberfest in the next few weekends. I've read/saw that a few people use a 32 oz. graduated ladle/dipper when pulling the grains for decoction mash. Before buying one off amazon for $13 thought I'd see if there are any other suggestions of things to use that others have...

Would you happen to have any photos of this setup? I need to mimic this as I'm preparing to brew a 10 gallon batch of oktoberfest and I do not want a 90-120 minute cooling session

You will have more trub in your carboy (especially if you squeeze a ton), but no fear it settles out. I try to get more wort into my carboy to make up for this -- it's great once you get your equipment/system tuned in! I haven't noticed needing more time. I just tested/tasted my session ipa...

I do BIAB as well and I can have a pretty murky wort...mostly because I like using wheat or oats, but using irish moss, wort chiller, strain when transferring to carboy, rack to secondary after 2 weeks and a 2-3 day cold crash and I have quite clear beer coming out of my keg.

Looking at your hop additions... for the whirlpool what temp do you plan to put the hops in and for how long? I was just learning about the whirlpool hop utilization when I made my first blonde ale recipe from scratch last week! Around 15-25 or so is good for IBUs.

Looks awesome! How exactly did you do this -- the thermometer and the spigot? I just bought a new 15 gallon tall boy and would consider doing this!

Hi All- thought I'd share this to our specified Southeast folks! Selling my brew kettle -- https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/10-gallon-brew-kettle-charlotte-nc.649802/ Shoot me a message if interested. -Matt

I'm in. Love my Inkbird and has helped taking my brewing next level! Looking to expand and get another!

Selling my 10 gallon Tall Boy Brew Kettle for $80. Perfect for a homebrewer that does 5 gallon batches. I've used it for my 5 gallon BIAB batches. Have had for 3 years, but only brewed on it 5 or 6 times. Looking to upgrade to a 15 gallon brew kettle. Can meet in Uptown Charlotte or SW...

also....the freezer dents easily so try not to drop tools (screw drivers, etc) while building... I learned the hard way lol

Good stuff! I'm very pleased with how every thing has worked out so far. Been through one round of fermentation chamber and just finished up my kegs. Will be starting another cycle Saturday when I brew. I think I need to consider a fan that kicks on when the freezer kicks on as there is...
