Those lines have flared fittngs and won't work w/ black pipe npt threads without an adapter. I'd suggest getting everything locally so you can pre-fit things as you buy it. Also look at morebeer.com's pipe threaded jets (orifice). Made working with pipe threads easy.

Dude, that's awesome! And I'm going to make it my new signature!

And Nottingham is cheap enough that you don't have to worry about washing the yeast. Of course, you can always just throw a new batch on the yeast cake - even with dry yeast.

Unless you plan on recirculating the mash, I'd recommend gavity draining your MLT and pumping from your HLT and BK. It'll avoid some compacted mashes. Of course I'm probably just a naysayer busting your balls with no experience in the matter whatsoever, so take it for what it's worth. ;)

Sorry but I personally don't see how it's worth it. Pumps are (relatively) cheap and give you so much flexibility. I remember someone on here using a winch to raise the bk on their 3-tier but even that seemed like the work required wasn't worth it. Building a single tier stand is super...

The wort probably sat at a temp where the enzymes could still work (even if not in their ideal range), but you're right, when the starches are fully converted, there's not much else to do. The enzymes might continue to break down some of the chains to more fermentable sugars, but I doubt there...

I think you'll probably be fine.

I'm not sure exactly which tubing you're talking about. The silicon hoses are 1/2" ID, copper is mostly 1/2", black pipe is 1/2" NPT, and the stand frame is 2"x2". Hopefully I covered the possibilities. ;)

The bourbon does seem to mellow over time. I don't know what effect kegging hasm. I have always bottled this recipe.

My avatar is why the Cowboys are America's team!

Yeah, we got whooped by the Vikes. They dominated in every way. FWIW, I'm a Vikings fan from here on out. How can you not like the old man? It'd be great to see him go out on top!

Put a compression fitting there to seal the probe. Easy.

You want the break meterial. Without it you will have hazy beer - especially if you don't get a good cold break. It will all settle out in the bottom of the fermenter, though, given enough time like everything else. Cold crashing can really help if you've still got chill haze problems. I've...

Sorry, I disagree. If you use a plate chiller (and don't recirculate), the cold break forms on the way to the fermenter. I filter out the hop material, but have never worried about filtering break material. I have crystal clear light ales that you can read through - no chill haze here.

Yep also great numbers but I would've voted for Manning too.

Well, I suppose you can just put on some old tape of Browns playoff games instead of watching the Cowboys beat up on the Vikings this weekend. I think the Browns had a couple of playoff wins in the early 90's didn't they?

Ya, I don't think so. The ravens are putting an end to your craptastic year.

Fear not. The Cowboys will take care of the Vikings next weekend.

Good teams have a way of making other teams look like crap, especially when a defense suffocates an offense.

The 'boys looked damn good today, as they have for the last month or so - especially their D, which has been on a tear. Should be a good game against the vikings next week. No easy games for anyone here on out!
