I am guessing that is for fly sparging not batch sparging right?

This is all great advice....with a false bottom what should be the rate that I draw the wort off while avoiding a stuck sparge?

Thanks Yooper, I appreciate your straight informed advice! Any tips to ensure no stuck sparges? Should I also add rice hulls do the grains just in case?

First let me start by saying that I am pretty knowledgeable about the all grain process but since I have yet to do it yet I have some questions for everyone. First, I don't want to start a debate over which is better because everyone has there opinion. I want to batch sparge at first since...

I just got some from KJ magnets and let me tell you those are some strong magnets. I just have to make a trip to the hardware store and I should be done with this build some time this week!

Way to kill the hope and dreams... I would have taken that deal too!

I would be very happy to score one from you...please pm me for 33647. I have paypal!

I like the latitude idea...maybe I will jack it from Sam Adams and name one of my beers Latitude 27! lol!

Maybe I will snap mine in half and give it a try. Worse thing that could happen is that I need to by magnets. The thing that kills me is that the magnets are wicked cheap but then they rape you on the shipping. A $2 magnet costs $8 to ship. That doesn't make sense.

So while I was at publix I just so happened to see some velcro. Of course I bought it so that I could work on my stir plate some more. I got my washer set in a pretty balanced manner. I was going to use the magnetism of my HD magnet to attach it to the washer but the fan throws it off. Should I...

We shall test it out and see....I have to go pick up some bolts, velcro, and some spacers to finish it. I might pick up some slow setting epoxy just in case. I am using a fan from an old dell(2001)....hopefully it works well enough!

Well I think I am going to do what Jakecpunuts did and use velcro to attach the washer. That way it should make it easier to adjust the balance.

Tried it and it worked....thanks guys! I will finish the build soon!

The fan is supposed to run clockwise right....so if I get it backwards it would run counter right? This means I could reverse it. Does it even matter which way the fan turns? I am using a 12vdc power supply.

Thanks for the quick reply! How do I know which is positive and which is negative?

Maybe this has been brought up already but when I get the connector end off of my power supply I noticed that all I have is two black wires. On one side there is grey shading on the outside of the wire and then the other just has some gray printed words that show 80c 300v etc.....Which is the...

I live in Fl and am interested in the better bottle.....I didn't know that they made 7 gallon ones. Are you sure that it isn't 6? Quote me for the bottle plus shipping please!

Yeah, I go to Southern Brewing too! I can't wait for their new location to open up. I am a member of BEERS as well. I don't make it to the meetings that often due to my work schedule. I believe that price of grain has gone up in anticipation of the 2011 crop being below the global demand.

It doesn't look like anyone responded to this thread. I was searching if there was any group buys going on in FL but it doesn't seem that way. I am slowly piecing together my all grain system and will be looking into buying bulk grain once I get my system dialed in. Where are you located in the...
