mash thickness has nothing at all to do with any of the off flavors you have in your batches that you are dumping out. i dont use any ratio for strike water to lbs of grain, I just eye ball it with at temp strike water but i usually run it fairly thin because i like to get a nice whirlpool...

I have this burner and the double version with extension legs, they really do put out a mean scream. It sure can handle 10 gallon batches.

Same **** happen to me a couple of months ago. Lost about 4 cases of beer, 4 different varieties. I would have the kegs carbonating in the fridge and toss the cobra tap on and when carbonated i would use this to drink some of the beer off the keg for a week or so then the rest i would bottle up...

This question is somewhat specific but maybe someone has tried using a similar set up. I ferment in 5 gallon corny kegs so after the beer is done fermentation i am thinking of installing the randall after the beer and before the receiving keg allowing all the beer to pass through the same...

I usually just used a big stainless kitchen spoon and scoop out a heap or 2 of slurry to add with my existing yeast if i am attempting to reuse yeast from a previous batch. Also just tossing the IPA onto your previous dry hopped Ipa batch hops and all may give the second batch some grassy over...

You should really invest in a water filter housing and a good carbon cartridge, it should run around $25 bucks or so if you check out the ametek filters and housings at filtersfast.com. I know bottle water is like 98 cents a gallon but once you pick up a filtering system after a few batches you...

I use the false bottom in the boil kettle and only leaf hops. The leaf hops really help to hold back all the goo.
