Seems fairly simple..I like that.

That's what I'm talking about..thanks!

I'm getting ready to start 10 gal. BIAB batches. I have heard of using a step ladder with a pulley system to help with lifting the large grain bill. This sounds like it would be nice and portable. I haven't seen very many pics of this type of setup. Does anyone have a good pic of setup...

Thanks for the thread! I got it off! I think the main spring in the middle was pushed down and damaged in the down position. So, the safety latch was already unlocked. Unfortunately, the valve is toast. I took a 1/2" fender washer put it in between the (2) tabs used a flat head screwdriver...

I'm trying to do a keggle conversion. I got a keg but it does not have the indention tabs to pop off the spring clip. It says sanke keg on it from miller brewing company. The guy I bought it from just ripped out the ball bearing and rubber plug with a spring in the middle to get some of the...

I've been looking at DIY coffee roasters. I wonder if this could work for kilning. Here's one I found on youtube that looks cool:

Answered my own ? here. I did ratio above. Boiled up 1lb. of dextrose and let cool. I didn't have either of the others on hand. Checked hydrometer was at 1012 added the sugar water shot to 1020. Slowly stirred up yeast on bottom not to add more O2. Had some dry yeast I just let sit on top...

So would the ratio of water to DME or Sugar be: 1cup of water to 5 ounces of DME or Sugar?

Thanks! I researched more and turned up 1lb. should be enough.

I'm in the same boat. Not sure what happened this time around!! How much DME and water should I add? Would it be the same amount if I use Demerara Sugar (for times when I can't get to the LHBS)? Do I boil it for 15min.?

I couldn't wait...2weeks primary and 6 days in keg. It tastes great!! I too got 1020 as FG.

I was thinking to make them more rigid you could use aluminum screen frames. They are cheap and you can get them at Home Depot or Lowes.

Hey COLObrewer, how deep are your Hoards (aluminum screen frames)? and How much malt do you put in them?

Thanks. Just checking. I just got everything getting ready to do this one. Can't wait!!

Do you think this beer might benefit from a step mash?

Wow!! I really want to get into this! Do you think that a dryer could be used as both the malt roller and kiln? I want to do 25lbs. at time. Would the dryer be able to handle that?

I plan on making my own malt. I was reading that there is winter and spring barley. Would barley be available all year round? I ask because I plan on getting some next week. If I have to stock up, then I will do that.

that's close to $20 with a lid. Pretty high. Plus, I have to wait for it to come. I mean HD has the 5gallon plus lid for like $5.

I have a 7.9 gallon bucket that is great. Absolutely, no worries for blow off when doing 5gallon batches. Actually, I do 5.5 gallons to give me a little room to play with. My LHBS is too expensive. Home Depot only has 5gallon. Any ideas on where to get cheap 7 gallon on up buckets?

Hey Yooper, I did your fizzy yellow. That came out great. I'm actually doing it again right now. It's just hit 1week in primary. I was thinking. Do you think it would work if I added some sugar in it to jack it up to a strong ale type hybrid?
