IME the grainy taste sticks around a little longer when I use Great Western malts. Even better with their pale malt.

Beer: 7 gallon Chapman UniVessel. Modified with internal ss coil for lagering. Cider and wine its glass.

I have good lager results with a similar setup using Chapman Univessels and a Cool Brewing bag. http:// https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=591322

Welcome to Texas! Enjoy that new rig! Will keep an eye out for your future posts.

If I was going to buy a kettle to use for BIAB and use as a mash tun later, I would get the valve and 2" stem thermometer. When doing BIAB he will not need a SS braid but can use it when he starts using it as a mash tun. Personally I prefer using a false bottom in my mash tuns. To get the most...

I dont fly sparge with my chapman, but I do continuous sparge with an auto sparge. I do beers that are only 8# grain bill for 5 gallon batch with no problem.

After researching this I went with the Chapman thermobarrel. Dont remember all the reasons why, but one was the port at the top so I could use an auto sparge. I have been very pleased with mine!

Use 1099 in my house brown porter. Dang its a good match.

Oh yeah youre well on your way. Im out a little further west from both of you. SA is too far to go for a hbc for me. Im hoping someday to find/form a group from Fredericksburg, Boerne, Kerrville etc. Welcome!

+1 on grapefruit peel from comet. It also has some dank you are looking for on future brews.

Enjoy your brew session tomorrow!

Depends on a few things. How big is your beer? Volume and gravity. What is your time frame? Trying to do a quick turnaround or let it sit awhile? If its a mid gravity beer @ 5 gallons Id use it.

Im with wilserbrewer. I cook flaked oats.

I got a good deal and good service from homebrew4less recently.

If it works and makes better beer its a winner!

And then when you are done messing with reflectix and sleeping bags buy youself a Chapman Thermobarrel and think "why didnt I just do this to begin with?" I am sooooo pleased with mine!

If you are using the 3 piece airlock with that POS cage one the bottom you could have something hung up in there. If it's blocked it could blow the airlock up to the ceiling. AMHIK!

I put it all in the mash.

2 new K type probes. I had a ITC-1000 probe go bad and I cant seem to get another probe that works. Inkbird was very helpful, even sent me drawings and specs, sent them to 3 different electronics suppliers, got 2 suggestions, neither worked. So I am upgrading my controllers to k type and pt100...

BIAB stovetop starter wort is a heckuva lot cheaper too. I make 1.5 gallons at a time and pressure can it.
