My plan is to use this battery powered hose valve timer to do that. I've used this one to turn my garden irrigation on and off.

OK I talked to Russ on the phone and I'm good to go. Curious about one thing. You really should not let water sit in these systems for more than a week, else bacteria can grow, etc. What is your experience in that area? Do you make it a weekly chore to go run your RO system? I can see easily...

I've been tossing my hop pellets directly into my Keggle during the boil. No bags or baskets or hop blocking of any kind during the boil, so I am Free Ranging. At the end of the boil I start my March pump and "catch" the hop trub in a 400 micron basket at the return port to the Keggle. After...

Thanks I am looking at Bulk Reef now. Why did you recommend them, if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks Dustin. Did you get the automatic shut off valve (ASOV), or the flush valve? If you did not do you wish you had? Cheers!

I could use a recommendation for an RO system. I have been using distilled water, and treating it using the EZ Water Calculator IAW the beer style I am brewing. I've also been buying drinking water because the local tap water tastes awful. I need an RO system for both. I am under the...

I have several used items for sale in the Las Vegas area. Don't really want to ship any of this. If you are interested I can provide photos of the items you are interested in. I may trade for some items - I need a stainless mesh basket (12" diam, 14" tall, 400 micron) Cheers! $300-Blichmann...

I know you specified a Spike, but if you change your mind I have a Blichmann Ferminator. 14.5 Gallons with leg extensions. Very good shape, used about a dozen times. Tri-clamp fittings. Cheers!

If anyone has something close to this I would be interested.

If you would sell separately, what size is the grain basket. Diameter, height, mesh size? Cheers.

Another update on my 1st brew day with my new BIABasket rig. After 4 days at 68F my Mike's Wicked Ale primary fermentation appears to be done, with a gravity of 1.020. I stopped seeing bubbles/movement in the fermentation lock yesterday. When I opened the fermentation vessel the hop aroma...

Hi Nick, this might fit my Keggle. Would you please answer a few questions? - What is the maximum size opening this will fit into, including the handles that stick out a little on each side? This dimension varies from unit to unit I believe. I would have to grind off the 1/2" side hooks. My...

Thanks! I watched a video on the Grainfather. Neat system! I think some call the grain container a "malt pipe". Wort is pulled from the bottom of the kettle, where the electric element is, and adds it back to the top of the mash....and there is an overflow pipe in the center of the mash to...

I positioned the Keggle and pump so the pump would prime by gravity feed of wort from the Keggle, which is does nicely. It is not so high that it is difficult to dump in grains, at least for me....I am 5'10" and I built it for my height.

My question is about hop utilization. First to frame my question. My current process is to toss pellet hops, up to 2 ounces so far, directly into my Keggle during the boil or hop stand....I'm calling this free-range (not sure of the correct terminology); the pellets are in the wort completely...

OK here I am with results of my 1st brew day with my new BIABasket rig. I posted this elsewhere on this website but forgot about this thread til just now. It was Mike's Wicked Ale, the recipe for which is above in this thread. I think it was a huge success actually. I conditioned and milled the...

Thanks. That is focused on BIAB (Brewing in a Bag), and I saw it before, but I was hoping for one that focuses on Brewing in a Basket, not a bag. I know these are related but there are differences in using a grain basket versus a grain bag that make it unique. If there is not I'll use this...

Is there a forum focused strictly on Brewing in a Basket (BIABasket)? Perhaps I overlooked it? I see some threads here and there that touch on this but not a forum on just that topic. Maybe it is not popular enough for a dedicated forum. I would like to compare equipment and processes with...

OK here I am with results of my 1st brew day with my new BIABasket rig. I think it was a huge success actually. I conditioned and milled the grain at a 0.035" gap, and it looked good so I did not run it through the mill a second time. The mash was done in 40 minutes according to the iodine...

Been busy doing other things, but finally got back to this...….here is my finished BIABasket rig, and a platform for my grain mill. Everything works...…..so tomorrow, unless it rains, I am brewing my new recipe, Mike's Wicked Ale, a variation on Pete's.
