Apparently this is known as a starter tank. I plan to pitch and oxygenate in it. The Brewer's Handbook: Wort Cooling and Aeration

Exactly, I just want to remove the majority.

I brewed yesterday and tried this using a 3 gallon brew demon to settle the trub. It worked great and I was able to see the trub settling. I wanted something bigger and the 4 gallon tank will be perfect. I am also pitching and oxygenating in the settling tank. So it’s basically a short term...

I have decided to add an extra step in my brewing process after realizing just how much crap was getting into my fermenter. Even though the cooled wort is wirlpooled, there is a ton of cold break still in suspension. My goal is 3 gallons into fermenter so I wanted a vessel that would hold 4...

I am dealing with the same issue and plan to try Briess caracrystal wheat malt. https://www.brewingwithbriess.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Briess-PISB-Caracrystal-Wheat-Malt.pdf It seems appropriate.

I have decided to add some Briess caracrystal wheat malt. I also want to add a hint of sweetness.

My target OG is 1.052. I am doing BIAB with 5 gallons of water and 7 lbs grain in a 30 qt pot. The mash is very thin. I am in the habit of keeping mash temps on the low end 154 max I’m not a fan of heavy beers. Next brew I will mash at the upper end, that will certainly help. As for head...

Misconceptions - Brew Bag Myths Explained I am planning to maintain temp and raise it at end of mash by using my stovetop burner. As it heats up I drain via bottom valve and just pour it over the grain bed. The attached link states if I heat it to 170 it deactivates the enzymes that get...

I am not using my tap water to brew with, but I use it to wash my equipment. The day prior to brew day on my new system, I was washing brew pots and rinsing with cold tap water and noticed a ridiculous amount of sediment in the water. My concern is using this to sanitize my fermenter and any...

I plan to ditch the lid and make a simple lid that just sits on top and will also be a thermal barrier. Tubes will run through that. As far as hot spots, I can stir it around like a chiller in a kettle. The lid will move with it. If I can add heat, who cares about heat loss even with no lid...

I am getting back into the game with a tiny 2.5 gal setup. I plan to mash in a 5 gallon round igloo beverage cooler. I purchased a small diameter 25’ copper coil that will fit inside my mash tun. The plan is to run inlet/outlet through the lid and pump hot water through the coil to either...
