The BOS winner is a very cool poster from the Burgundian Babble Belt and a most awesome yeast expert. He frequently shares his cultures with members of the board and I am lucky enough to have some of Al's bugfarm ready to inoculate my next batch. Congrats BS on your seconds.

Yes, don't cheat yourself. Some people even double dry-hop it. :)

I just tapped this beer the other day and it is really good. Really well balanced with no major flaws. I used the following recipe with no-sparge with 130F protein rest. Thanks for all the help. I'll enter this beer in a comp. or two to get some feedback. Helles A ProMash Brewing...

Wow, those inserts are load rated at 1000 Lbs. plus. Yeah, I would definitely get that taken care of before next session. I just checked mine and they seem straight with no cracks.

Is the stem bending? How much does your rig weigh when heavy? You can and should get casters rated for your setup. I recall you used welded plate instead of inserts on the tube ends; what size thread? KD

Those nuts have compression ferrules on them. They need to be torqued down pretty tight to compress them. They are made for aluminum pilot tubing but I suppose if you have the precise copper o.d. it would work.

Got six bombers of Sculpin for Christmas from my daughter. Good stuff.

Dig the Moonlight. Gotta get up to the bay area for some of his beers soon. Reality Czeck is a damn fine pils. Oh yeah, and St. B's tripel is one of my top 5 beers. Good taste in beer you have.

I thought this was a pretty cool gadget. automatically switches to a fresh tank.

Wow, where did you get that tower?

I hear ya. I can't live my porno reputation down either. Oh well. :) Nice to see ya in the forums Lonnie. KD

I didn't say you couldn't have both, but that I tend to focus on one and not the other. You can be efficient and still produce good beers, and most brewers do. On the other hand, I taste many home brewed beers that are otherwise fine except that they were over-sparged in the hopes of boosting...

The whole idea behind the Brutus 20 two vessel system is to utilize a cross transfer between two pots. Eventually, you would reach equilibrium in the two vessels, at which point you would be finished with the mash. I have used this process on my Brutus 10 with good results. My efficiency is...

Well, I am not sure about that. You are using wort, rather than water to "sparge" in a B20 setup. My efficiency with this method is definitely lower than with a double batch sparge.

Looking good! Show us some flame when you get it wired up.

There is a single screw in the plastic housing. Unscrew and pull off. Pop the terminal block out of the housing and you will see three terminals. #1 is hot, #2 neutral, #3 is ground if you need it. KD

Those plastic brackets suck. Nice work.

Looks like a trash compactor.

Yes. I will buy it immediately. I don't have time right now to mess with it, and couldn't do such a nice job anyway. Please PM me the cost and lead time for a 13.8 Kenmore. Dimensions: Height: 35 in. Depth: 29-1/2 in. Width: 48 in. Thanks KD

Yes, definitely. I believe there is a thread somewhere where a guy use french press for this recipe. Russian River uses extracts now for the real thing, so I can't see why not.
