I just scored the 50 qt cooler at target for 17.99 I will have to drill out a hole I may make the valve modification like whats listed on here or just may use a stopper and plastic tubing like my old set up with clamps on the hoses to controll the rate of outflow when sparging. Next on th...

Maybe theyll get a top draft pick out of this. I still cant get over them losing drurry and brierre. They went from a legit contender for the cup to not making the playoffs:mad: Tom

The 10 gallon at target is a taller more squared off cooler so I think that may work better than the long rectangular ones. It should also be easier for sparging I would think. Tom

I guess you all twisted my arm LOL I have to head up to walmart tomorrow anyway so I will look there and target since theyre next to each other. Tom

Guess I need to think more outside the box (or cylinder in this case:D ) as for 10 gallon brews that may be way down the road but I do want ot make some high gravity beers. One heavier beer I made was a little tricky with the 5 gallon cooler. Sparging was kinda tricky and the extra space would...

I have a 5 gallon gatorade cooler I was going to use as my mash tun. I am lookin gto get a second cooler to keep my sparge water at the proper temp as well and was wondering if its worth getting a 10 gallon cooler to use as a mash tun. is it worth the extra money or should I just use a regular 5...

+1 on the AG It sounded realy complicated but we went to a seminar at our then LHBS and thought hey thats prety easy. Its more labor intensive and requires more equipment but I def prefer it over extracts. Tom

welcome, where in NY are you from? Tom

its not too good for me I live in the NYC metro area so I can see al the rangers, isles and devils games. However I am a sabres fan so I only get to see their games when they play the locals:mad: Tom

last time I was out there they had a prety small selection (the place on the LIE) I have never been to the store in northport, but will take a ride out there when I get a chance. My sister lives in bethpage and I have some friends who live out east so i do get out there sometimes. Even some of...

thanx for the welcome. I didnt know the supply sotre in farmingdale still exsisted and is the one in northport off rt 111? I remember going to a place out near islip somewhere a few years back. There is also a place off the LIE in queens but their supplies are very limited. Chris i would be...

If you start heating the wort as its being sparged is ti of if ti comes to a boil before sparging is done? I had thought about doing that to save some time in the past but never did it. For clean up I always dread it but is a necessary evil I guess. Tom

I am with you, I am a disgruntled sabres fan trapped in ranger/islander/devil territory. I am still pissed they couldnt resign drurry OR Brierre. It def hurts going from one of the best teams in the to hoping to make the playoffs. And how the hell do they loose to Torronto:mad: Tom

+1 on all the changes. I too am comming back after a long time away and there is a lot I need to catch up on. Should be fun though. Tom

I use a gatorade cooler as my mash tun, I usualy factored a 10 degree loss when i added the water and was usualy prety close. I like the idea of putting some boiling water in there first to warm things up. Tom

I was a prety avid homebrewer back in the early/mid 90's but have been out of it for some time after my supplier closed down. Recently I have been looking to get back into things (my fiancee is very happy about that) and am amazed at all the options there are online now. I was brewing all grain...
