What kind of setup do you use in your MLT?

Thanks for the tips. I will up my mash ratio a bit to 2qt/lb. Nice pictures, looks like you guys had a fun time. Cheers

Curious what your efficiency was? Im guessing you did a fly sparge. I have been batch sparging with a 48 qt cooler and cant get above 70%.

Agree. I see mostly IPAs when I go to bev mo. I just brewed a full sail amber ale type clone. Malty and well balanced on the hops with 5.4%ABV. I like the balance.

How To Brew by John Palmer. It has all you need to know and is easy to read.

I think its cool your swmbo helped her dad brew beer as a kid. I have a 13 year old son who hates to clean the house, but will spend all day brewing in the back yard with me.

The MLT looks good. I dont know what other equipment you have, but i made a cheap 3-tier gravity stand out of 2 by 4s and ply wood and it made the whole process super easy. Good luck on your first run.

this seems like a nice alternative to a hundred dollar Copper coil. It would also use less water than an immersion chiller...sucks I just finished Building my immersion chiller a few hours ago. I like this idea.

On a positive note, your next brew day will be way better....i hope

I would not worry. I have done this and was worried I would have off flavors, but after bottling the beer was fine.

What the hell was that?

I just finished building mine. Yours looks pretty much the same. Just make sure the valve on your boil kettle is high enough to drain into your fermenter.

Hi Luke, if you join a club let me know. I have been thinking it would be fun, and sac is not that far. :tank:

Dcbw, I have the same problem. What kind of filter did you use? Does it filter chlorine/chloramine? Or do you add campden tablets?

I have been thinking of doing this for a while. I built mine like yours and am also planning on adding a water filter. How has yours worked for you?
