Length of boil? Using metric vs imperial?

What fridge is that? Do the three remaining kegs (9 taps...) sit on top of the bottom layer? Absolutely beautiful set up. Would love to do that for myself.

Build a second copper coil and put that in the cooler full of ice water upstream of your wort. Saw a guy do that and he cooled 10 gallons like it was nothing.

I believe I just unwittingly used your method virtually to a T. Kegging on Saturday and will report back

Welcome!! Spent some time in NH last summer, great place. Pretty good brew store near me too. Happy brewing!

At a fancy restaurant with the SWMBO, having a drink at the bar. Hipster fashionista rudely leans over my wife, bumping her out of his way to order a beer. Orders a Stella, but pronounces the full name in an exaggerated French accent. Strike 2. When he got the beer, turns to his friends and...

As it's meant to be a dry stout you might want to aim for slightly higher attenuation than on a typical beer. Hence the traditionally low mash temp. When I do a dry Irish I mash in at 150 and let it drop to 148 over the hour. Luckily that is pretty much how my system works on it's own though...

....So his comment wasn't directed at you? Touchy much?

Hi Guys! Just moved to a new city far away and haven't been able to get my hands on a decent water profile, so I'm planning on getting some RO water and building from there. Doing an Oatmeal Stout, and was wondering what you thought of the following additions: (Yields a mash PH of 5.5)

Thanks guys! Gravity hadn't moved in over a month so I assumed I'd reached FG. Toying with the idea of uncorking and transferring to bulk secondary when one frees up next week. Should I be concerned with oxidation during transfer? Not sure how mead compares to beer with regards to dreaded...
