I have the same problem Hex. Doesn't seem like much but these little things add up and is my next thing I'm looking into for my setup. I currently use high temp 3/8 ID silicone tubing but I think I'm going to try switching to a Poly Tubing and wrap it with insulation to see if that helps heat...

There is a difference between the commercial line of the Igloo and the standard Rubbermaid. The igloo you can tell feels more like a solid tube of heavier composite material than the Rubbermaid which has a bit bulky in comparison. I have been around the Igloo commercial line since I was a kid in...

Posting this for people who are looking at Mash Tun/HLT coolers. Hope it helps someone. I just got my Mash Tun setup in an Igloo 10 gal Commercial grade cooler and modified it by drilling a 1/2in hole to run tubing for my sparge through the lid. and also bought a clearance Rubbermaid 5 gal...

Hard to say without post boil SG reading. Sounds more like another bacteria made it's way into the batch. Not aware of any known chemicals found in water that will give that flavor except the ones I previously mentioned. Almost has to be biological organism related. Someone else said it tasted...

Yeah, this is my smallest bit but I'm thinking it may be a bit small.

If your FG was only 1.005 you have almost no sugars in there. Possibly not warm enough for the mash and sparge to draw the sugars out for your yeast. I usually mash right around 65-70c (149-158F)and sparge 70-75c (158-167F) to pull max sugars out without getting into the tannins. Was the yeast...

Well, brewed a 2 1/2 gallon batch for our project. We have been struggling to meet our Target SG with our batches and been trying to eliminated inefficiencies. Thought a while that we were just catching too much sparge water after the last one because all said and done we had nearly 3 gallons...

I put this together quickly with a $11 3/8 ID 10ft piece of flexible copper tubing for a sparge arm for my mash tun Igloo cooler. I used a $3 pipe bending spring to bend it by hand and about another $5 in brass plug and cap. wasn't easy and even with the pipe bender you could tell the brass...

I've been working with Chad the last coupe days. Will have a 17in 6-7in OD in 400micron on order by the end of the day.

Must be. Red Currants have a high amount of absorbic acid and carry a PH of 2.9. Personally I would never eat a canned fruit or veg that has not been pasteurized or pickled to confirm that there is not something deadly surviving in it. People may say they have been doing the same recipe for...

I used a Gillette Sensor back in the early 90's but didn't care for the triple head back then. I shaved with the Schick Tracer FX for over 10yrs and loved that razor but low and behold I could not find cartridges when I needed them locally so I started with the Gillette Mach 3 in 2004. I do not...

We decided our one cat needed a pal about a year ago. He's shy, doesn't bite or scratch no matter what you do to him, very friendly etc. Took him to the shelter to interview other cats we had looked at. None of them worked out except for the last cat I was not impressed with but my daughter...

Two of Bart Bakers other parody's. They do some awesome parody's!:rockin:

I prefer Bart Baker's parody. http://youtu.be/tKwdDbdPego

Each of us simply pay a portion of the bills and keep our checking accounts separate. She sometimes keeps cash on hand, I prefer to keep a couple hundred on me because like previously mentioned, I spend less when I have bills on me.

I'm fairly new to brewing and I'm in a 6 month long college level Science of Brewing class and have brewed several batches. Pretty intense course that has 3, 1 hour long lectures and a 5 hour lab every week. I have five instructors in the course one is a history professor and the others are bio...

I use buckets when I want to know my volume out of a batch because it is easy to get exact volume by measuring the inside height and diameter of the bucket. Pour raw beer in and measure from the top of the bucket to the raw beer and subtract from your original height. Then plug in your numbers...

Looking for and opinion on equipment. I'm halfway through my Science of Brewing class at the local college. Pretty extensive with hour long lectures three days a week and a 5hr lab every week. Brewed a few batches already and got to try 7 different batches of the same recipe. The batch my lab...
