These were small pieces of plastic. Yes, I vorlauf :D

How do you figure? Couldn't it just float through with the beer under the false bottom?

Excited to open up my first 55 pound sack of 2-row, I inadvertently ripped it open not paying attention to the correct way to open these stitched bags. I noticed a couple of small pieces of clear plastic (from the inner bag) drop into the grain. Couldn't find them and now am concerned that...

I plan on doing the same. I only ran PBW through it for an initial clean to get any oil residue off of the SS.

Thanks for the messages. I went ahead and removed the teflon that was exposed inside of the mash tun on the valve (didn't need it there anyways). What strikes me as odd is that anyone using a 2 way ball valve has teflon tape on the valve somewhere. Whether it's on the boil kettle, MT, etc...

Noticed a mention of not using PBW around teflon tonight. My Rubbermaid mash tun from Moreover has an exposed teflon taped thread inside. I ran PBW through the MT for an initial cleaning. Is this an issue? I emailed the company and am more confused at this point...transcript below...

Anyone follow these instructions on tightening the valve? Know what size nut that is...

Picked up one of these recently...http://morebeer.com/products/cooler-mash-tun-10-gallon.html Any recommendations on initial cleaning before use? Should I be taking apart the 2 piece ball valve and removing from the cooler?

For the Florida Brewers (or anywhere that is hot as heck in the summer), which wort chilling equipment are you using in the summer? I haven't checked the temp. but I know my tap water is quite warm in the summer.

I read somewhere that folks are pulling the vinyl handle off and replacing it with a piece of silicone.

Just received one today and had a few questions... 1) Will be using for the HLT, is the heat shield necessary for a lower temp usage like this? Would rather not use. Also considered not using the thermometer as I'll probably using a Thermapen to check exact temps. 2) Regarding the dip...

I picked up a couple of these as part of a kit and they definitely don't look clear and amber in color like the picture. Mine are dark green in color. Anyone have similar results? http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/hopshot.html

Anyone?

Please!

So after much debate I went with the following. After the brew, I'm wondering if I'll have a hop bomb as Beer Smith states an IBU of 119! Can this be with only 1 ounce of hops in a gallon brew? -1.5 lbs DME (extra light) -.25 lbs Crystal 40 (steeped for 10 min @ 160) -1 ounce Columbus hops...

I saw that but they don't list specialty grain qty.

I need a 1 gallon extract w. speciality grains recipe please. Pale Ale/ IPA or Amber would is preferred. Thank you!

Don't most still have to do the 60 minute boil bc of hop additions?
