so to start off the night, i began at 7ish to do a pale ale clone. being my first batch im excited. i know my way around a kitchen so following ingredients is cool. this is my night: -while putting in my grains one of my wee helpers opened the valve on the tun, about 2 cups lost, -mashed...

well i used my first braid with a copper coil in and it worked. of course how well i will know in 4 weeks, when this b*tch is bottled and ready

i just did my first. and if it dont taste like dish water i will be happy. con grats on the efficiency mine is an ipa and i am hoping the hydrometer is broke.

ok, i took my 50 qt cooler back and got a 70 with the outlet in the right spot. i also picked up a 18" braided hose 3/4" wide and cooper wire for bracing inside the hose. i think this will be better. yes/no?

its stainless steel braid. holes already there. i know its ugly but it was a test run.

ah, thought it was an easy fix.ill see tomorrow

So i have my tun all set. But I can't get it to flow water. Is the braid to long? At first if I tilted it it would go then stop. This stinks.

you need a pre chiller.

Bottled and resting.

Disregard. Posted I. Wrong thread. That's what I get for using a phone to post.

Ok update. After a week and three days, my gravity reading is 1.010, final should be 1.016. And it appears my abv is I'm guessing 2%. It should be 4.5%. Now I took a reading with plain water and it was between .99- 1.000. So does all this sound right? Thanks in advance.

i am just getting into the biab and have a 35 qt pot. did you reduce the recipe to accomidate the size of the pot, making it a 5 gallon batch , or did you add extract. don

thank you. didnt want to go and spend 40 on parts to convert it when that could go towards beer.

http://scranton.craigslist.org/hsh/3786517601.html its one of those faucets.

come on lads, help a brother out.

with the above info, i would have to keep my batches to 6 gallons. so im guessing i would have to sparge to get to a pre boil, is this right?

so i scored a brand new saf t fryer for $40. it has that faucet drain on the bottom. is this drain ok to use for draining wort or do i need a 3 piece ball valve? thanks
