This is so Sweeeeettt!!! I'm planning the same thing so I'm going to be paying close attention to this thread! Thanks for sharing!

Mine is almost like yours and I've never had a stuck sparge. I used a dremel to cut the slots. I used a braid before this and hated it. I would say your crush is the culprit.

1.060 is actually a low OG for a Belgian Blonde. BJCP guideline for the style have 1.062 as a minimum OG. The high end is 1.075. This is funny because exactly two weeks ago today, I brewed a Belgian Blonde with almost the same exact recipe. My ingredients are the same, we just used different...

BigFloyd is correct. Tape it to the side of the carboy and insulate it. I control mine to within 1 degree and I can ramp it up by 1 degree if I need to. If you just put it in the air, that doesn't tell you anything and as Jipper said, the temperature of the wort can easily be 7 -10 degrees...

Failed on Raylon Givens from Justified!

I crash cool all the time and never have suck back with an S-type airlock.

I have a stir plate and flask now so my steps changed just a bit. This is what I used to do and it's sooooo easy! I used a 1 gallon jug. For a basic 2 liter starter use 200 gms of DME. Put the 2L of water in a pot (plus just a little bit more to compensate for boil off). Once it boils take...

They said on the website that they won't release anything until all the sites have completed their judging and by May 4th, the individal scoresheets will be made available for download. From the Site... "First Round Winners Winners of the First Round Judging Centers will be reported...

Ok, in the words of CanyonBrewer, I decided to "draw a line in the sand"! I have started a Facebook page that we can post information and events on. We'll still post things here as well but I thought that would be a little easier to keep in touch. I had to come up with a title so look up "77...

Hey guys!! How's the beer coming??? Should be starting to clear up about now?? What kind of FG did ya'll hit?

Got two of them. And other stuff as well. I'm soon to buy a buttload more from him as I start my HERMS setup.

I always calculate a 6 gallon batch, post boil. That way I put 5.5 into the fermenter and then 5 in the keg (or bottle). I'm always guaranteed a true "5 gallon batch".

I think you need to have one finished as you describe and show it in use. The Speidels took off like crazy to the point that they are always on backorder so there is a market for something like this. Once people see it, they could easily change their mind. Remember also that most of us here...

Table sugar will be just fine. I suspect that if you're getting "cidery" flavors from table sugar, your problem is probably bad fermentation temperature control, not the sugar.

brewershardware.com Darn BobbyM!!!

I've used table sugar in every batch that I bottled before I started kegging. I never had any issues. Myth, busted!

We actually added about 2.5 oz. of Northern Brewer hops in the mash. This was the first time any of us had done that. I'm excited to try the final product. BTW, this was Tasty McDoles recipe called Janet's Brown Ale. Starting the Sparge: Fly Sparging with all the hops in the...

I finally have a chance to sit down and put up some of the pictures of our brew session on Saturday. Let me tell you, it was some kind of experience getting to brew on CanyonBrewers system. He has a lot of time and effort into this and it shows. I know he's put a couple of pics on here but...
