I typically deal with sankeys so elbow grease isn't an option so I use lye. Be cautious with it but it will clean them with no scrubbing in a matter of minutes. Just in case you run into a couple that are stubborn.

That's awesome. I thought of trying to grow some but I was worried about the climate here. Keep us updated on the progress.

Same here.

15 gals of IPA planned for Saturday. That's 60 gals in July. I put AC in garage/brewery and it is really paying off. Otherwise, I'd never brew this much in the summer.

I have the same problems with mine. It has been pretty frustrating. I'll eventually replace it but if you are looking for a fix that might get you through a few more brew days, this has worked for me in the interim. Grab a bag of o rings that fit around the roller, I think it's 1.5", take the...

No I don't think it will dramatically change it. If it changes it, which would be slight, it would make it more fermentable, drier and less sweet. With the temps and times you are talking about, I doubt it would be even noticeable.

You would essentially be doing a step mash. It will change the profile but it would depend on style as to whether or not it would be bad. I step mash a lot and I do something similar on my electric rig. I bring it to the first step and then a bit into the step set the temp to the next step...

I just put 15 gals of American Lager in the fermenter, kegged 15 gals of red, kegged 15 gals of pale ale, cleaned the rig, cleaned all the kegs and fermenters, and smoked a roast. Time for a break and a beer.

Doing 15 gallons of American Adjunct Lager tomorrow to feed the masses. Going to get an early start. Got my cans of creamed corn ready to mash in with the grain.

What is the shape of your boil kettle? If it's tall and narrow it may be possible. I know on my kettle a gallon is about an inch of space so 19 is not too crazy with fermcap. If your kettle is short and wide, probably not.

I've made low grav stuff and had it ready in four days. I force carbed and cleared it with gelatin.

Cooling 15 gals of Irish red at the moment.

Here is my latest. Starting on a new one tonight. Monsoon season is finally here. Nothing better than sitting out watching the storms in the mountains with a good pipe and a beer.

Wheat gelatinizes at mash temperatures. A cereal mash is unnecessary. Depending on what your other base grain is, you should have sufficient surplus enzymes.

Hm, I recently built a dartboard cabinet for a friend that would modify easily to holding glasses. It has two front doors that open to reveal the dart board but you could easily extend the depth a couple of inches to accommodate glasses inside. I inlaid some white tiles on the inside, they...

I had some frog mcmorton cellar for the first time. Amazing. Just carved another pipe I'll post pics in a bit.

I cool to, pitch, and ferment at 49. I let it ferment till completion and don't do a d-rest or change the temp till I lager. I lager for 1 month at 32. Hope that helps. Drinking a glass of this right now. Great beer for warm weather.
