is there a particular reason for doing it that way?

We've been doing all grain for a few batches, usually 10 gallons at a time. However, we decided on a 5 gallon batch and mashed it up, boiled it, cooled it, and put in the carboy - all serene. Then, perhaps because we were drinking quite a bit of a previous batch (which tasted marvelous), we...

what's cold pressed coffee? Is that brewing coffee the normal way then pressing it, then letting it cool? I have to add coffee in about a week - didn't know there was a 'best' way

the scrubbie was supposed to keep hops from slipping underneath, since the dumpling scooper didn't fit flush with the bottom. I thought about a hop taco after we failed and I learned about them. I think I'm going to put spiders in my beer first, then tacos second if that doesn't work.

Our group is working on our equipment - putting together bits and pieces at a time. We built a sweet mash tun, a keggle, and bought a plate chiller. Then, I knew we'd have to filter out the hops at the bottom (pellets) for the chiller. From the local asian supermarket, I bought a stainless...

Here's what I did. I suggested to my wife that I needed roughly 15 foot pole style things in the back yard to grow hops. She laughed - not going to happen. I made this compromise - arbors, or pergolas. They now line my back yard just in front of the fence and stand 13 feet high. Not quite...

Wait - nobody's commented on this, so I must assume my question is super stupid. So, I'll blame it on someone else: My wife was wondering whether or not one should somehow boil or sanitize hop pellets or cones when dry hopping. Is there not a chance of causing infection when dropping...

but, wait? Is that "C" supposed to new batch size (gallons)? Because (10 lbs) doesn't make a lot of sense to me. of course, it doesn't change anything - just for clarity. is it.... 10gal * lbs of original grain bill / original vol = weight of new grain bill

I googled IMO. According to Wiki, you're making reference to International Mathematical Olympiad - which, to be sure, is exquisitely intimidating. I'mma hit up Duda, thanks for the suggestion

I did several searches on HBT to figure out the answer to my questions, but didn't find anything. HBT searching is sometimes fruitless. How would you advise me to pre-brew sanitize my Duda plate chiller - I'm hearing some people bake theirs - how hot? Any danger in this? I would also...

Thanks, Yooper. And where do you winter in Texas? Are you of the Harlingen ilk? Or keeping it classy in Corpus? Is somebody smuggling brew supplies across from El Otro Lado?

OK - I think I can follow that. Not too tricky. However, are the hops just doubled, no tricks? Same for bitter, flavoring, and finishing hops?

I swear I tried a ton of different search words to figure this out - but haven't. Many, or most, of the recipes in the database are for 6 gallon batches. Well, if I spend the time to mash and boil, I'd rather use the full capacity of my keggle to make a 10 gallon batch. Then, split it into...

Ok - away I go then. Thank you for the confidence

Masters, teach this foolish grasshopper. I'm thinking about connecting my bulkhead to a stainless filter that will fit on the bottom of my keggle via silicone tubing. Is that the craziest idea you've ever heard of? I actually have enough copper 1/2 in around to make a dip tube, I just...
