And if you use a HLT, then it would appear that there will be dead yeast and yeast products at the bottom of that kettle. Meaning that there will then be an additional cleaning step after the brew day, whereas without yeast the HLT was basically clean and good to go for the next brew. So maybe...

One of the great benefits of having a SS conical is that you can easily dump trub/yeast (and with no risk of O2 entry) without having to go to a secondary. To me, moving the fermentation to another vessel unnecessary. It requires some time, work and hassle; introduces an unnecessary risk (e.g...

So, if you want to set it up for a 0.035" crush (I usually think in inches with mills), then you have to assume that some grain will be crushed at 0.030", which for some rigs/false bottoms might cause an issue. So is the solution to have it set up for the narrower side to mill at 0.035, and let...

Thanks, DT, just what I wanted. (By "brine", that was just my shorthand for the KCL salt solution.)

I have a pH60 meter kit, which appears to be a solid system. Two-point calibration is straight-forward and simple. Not being an expert in this operation, however, I do have a few questions I have always wanted to ask more experienced meter users: 1) How do you know that the sensor needs...

And get a digital jewelers scale. I find it invaluable, especially as you can get one cheeeep, like this one (there's gazillions of them out there)...

Reminds me that "interesting" is the universal polite euphemism which your friends and brew club colleagues use in place of, "WTH is this funky shiite flavor in your beer"? :barf:

Greywolf mentioned a light, and how right that is! This is what I use, all the time, between my brewery, keezer, and lots of other places. With a XC4 or 6 battery, this lasts almost forever on a charge.

I'll admit I'm helping us go down a small rabbit hole , but I have a Zep bottle like this one (except it is 32 oz), and I really don't like its rather coarse spray output. It really throws out the StarSans (more than desired). I previously had a similar "Lowes" brand spray bottle (also 32 oz)...

Thanks, AzOr!

I read a lot of posts from people who have concerns (or have had experience) with the stability of the CF10. I will not doubt anyone's direct experience and comments related to this. I've got one, and with the long extension legs. My experience is that if you do not have to move it around, and...

I like this! Can you give us a name or link? Because I've learned (in gardening) that all sprayers are NOT the same, and you can go through a few before you get one that works right for your application.

Yeah, well, if they find one and complain you just tell them it was a pube... o_O

Many people have a little startup issue in wrestling with the CF10 top gasket (self included), but it's a quick learning curve after which you should have no problem. I can't compare with the SS from personal experience, but have been quite pleased with the Spike products. I do wish their...

Wish I had one on my MLT to help with fly sparging without opening the top all the time, but glad I don't have any due to possible breakage and cleaning hassles. BTW, I need to find some friends who gift things like this!

+1 on the flow rate, although the other factors mentioned could also be material contributors. But I'd be looking at your rate first.

My 10th grade English teacher was onto that, and asked us questions about items not contained in the Cliffs Notes. Doh!

OK, good point if you have not finished fermenting and more CO2 is being released. I was thinking about cold crashing once you have completed fermentation.

I've had an issue trying to get my coil connects off. Instead of trying to force the issue, I just let them be (since it wasn't essential that I remove them).

I've never had any problems cleaning out my tornadoes, and I have a baker's dozen of them.
