Do you guys normally add the water at 180* and then add the grain at, say, 155* to account for the grain lowering the temp of the water further? This is assuming at 152* desired mash temp.

Why not get a submersible pump and dunk it in a tub full of ice/water. Pump that water through the immersion chiller and you're good to go.

It sounds like this isn't quite the hobby for you.

Um, I think Revvy has been giving great advice throughout this thread. The OP's ability to listen, read, or whatever - is the problem - not Revvy.

Sounds like a lot more work than just using an immersion chiller.

I have a KAB6 but haven't actually used it yet. I've heard its a badass.

I didn't get my elf last week! What gives?!

OK, and you know your preboil volume will be 7 gallons because of the recipe? (I know these are dumb questions but I'm a newb)

Forgive me, but where does the "7" come from in your equation?

Party pooper.

I do this every morning in the shower but it's really hard to aim in my mouth.

I meant 210,000, I swear!!

Heh, I have this burner but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Maybe next week I'll get a chance to fire it up. Supposedly it's 55,000 BTU. I would think that'd be plenty... ;)

Nice tutorial here, did using your own grain mill ever increase your efficiency?

I think my wife and I are going to head up to New Glarus, WI to hit their Oktoberfest this year. I don't think it's all that big, though. It seems to focus primarily on the brews of New Glarus Brewery.

I saw this commercial on during football yesterday. I think it's proof positive that niche beers, microbrews, etc. are eating into their bottom line.

I'm not anti-kilt - wear whatever you want it's not really my business. :fro: I should also note that if you're wearing a kilt you shouldn't get your panties in a knot if people look at you like you're a moon man.

Do you go out in public like that?

I'm in the QC in Davenport, but I haven't even brewed my first extract batch yet. I'm still compiling equipment here. I certainly wouldn't mind sitting in on an all grain brew to see how the process goes, though. I have a rough understanding from my readings here and in Palmer's book.

I have one of these burners that I haven't used quite yet. Are some of you arguing that it's not going to work properly?
