    Start whirlpool pump during boil to sanitize?

    That sounds like a pretty good method as well, especially if you are worried that the flameout temps aren't enough to sanitize.

    Start whirlpool pump during boil to sanitize?

    I think if you start the whirlpool at flameout the temps will be high enough especially if you clean/flush the pump out after your brew day. Trying to pump boiling wort through the pump is a pain.

    Start whirlpool pump during boil to sanitize?

    I used to run my pump and cycle through my cfc at the 15 min mark. However, it's a pain, because the pump will cavitate with the boiling wort. I then tried cutting the flame at 15 min, cycling the pump and then turn the burner back on and stop the pump once the wort got back to boiling. I...

    Should I dump?

    I had that happen today with a graff. Blew gunk all over the walls and ceiling. Wasn't pretty..... Like everyone else said, it should be just fine.

    PB2 and Vodka

    I don't get the need to mix with vodka or water is what I am saying. Add the PB2 to the secondary.

    Caramel apple cider

    Two years ago Walmart sold Caramel Apple juice or cider ( can't remember if it was juice or cider) and I fermented it and it came out really good and took first place in the first round of the 2015 AHA NHC home brew competition in Philly. I couldn't find it last year. The caramel juice/cider...

    PB2 and Vodka

    Because the extract tastes fake. I don't understand the need to use vodka. Add it to the secondary and it is awesome. No need to sanitize it in my opinion.

    Virginia BCS Tri-clover temp probes and Jockey box kit

    Looking to get rid of some temperature probes I bought a couple of years ago from Brewers Hardware. They have never been used because I never finished building my panel. They are all tri-clover except for 1 that is 1/4" threaded that has an adapter so it can fit 1/2" NPT threads. They are...

    Suppliers and Shipping

    Home Brew Supply, AIH, Northern Brewer, Midwest Supplies, More Beer, Austin Home Brew supply, Williams Brewing are all good for online. The best is to find a local home brew shop where you can avoid shipping costs. I am lucky, my local home brew shop is also a 1 bbl brewery that features 12...

    Bentonite in brewing?

    It works well in wine because wine because of the degassing process I believe. Degassing beer would introduce tons of oxygen I would think. I get really clear beer using just Whirfloc, but gelatin works wonders as well. Cold crashing works just as well, if not better than gelatin but I don't...

    Bottom Drain mash tun disadvantages

    My stout kettles mash tun has one and works very well for me. Leaves less dead space than a side mounted ball valve would.

    Indiana Brand New Grainfather with Graincoat!

    Cool, glad it worked out for you!

    Indiana Brand New Grainfather with Graincoat!

    That looks more legit. Just keep in mind people have burned by people with no posts selling stuff, and it did sound far fetched to accidentally order an extra one considering the price.

    Oh my bad, I thought hey did free returns. Good to know.

    Indiana Brand New Grainfather with Graincoat!

    Amazon Prime usually does free return shipping. Buyer beware. Sounds scammy. Not normal to place multiple orders for the same thing, and this is this the first post. If you buy it and get scammed you deserve it on this one.....
