Your more or less step mashing some start at around 125 degrees for a protien restr but there are others explained here How To Brew Your First Beer: Chapter 14 - How the Mash Makes Wort . Ive done this but not on purpose, when I was experimenting with underletting vs traditional mash in on my...

I have lack of basement envy... I'm using a spare bedroom which means I have gotten really good at not spilling anything. biggest pain is running a hose from the bathroom sink and taking everything to the bathtub or downstairs to clean.

I brew indoors and use a stainless bayou classic turkey fryer pot as a mash tun with an 1800w rims. I recirculate very slow at a measured 1.8gpm (Its actually the max my 24v pump would go but I incidently found out later with a different pump that when I recirculated faster my efficiency went...

how many gallons per minute are you recirculating the mash at? if your pumping too fast you get channeling Ive experimented with temp probes and different pump speeds

ideally you want to apply the heat to the cone area where there isnt a jacket to get the most effective heating. the heat will rise and churn the wort/beer as it heats. The larger 3.5bbl jacketed fermenters I just bought for myu brewpub use dual jacketed zones. the hot water jacket area is over...

Ok fair enough but your the one who commented on a conversation about replacing that valve with a 3 piece and your comment seemed to be directed at the comment I made comparing normal 2 piece and 3 piece designs which is why I responded in turn. Anyways, If your little ss valve is like the...

Ok again though that valve is not a representation of a normal 2 piece ballvalve which is what I was comparing when I said I dont know why folks here seem to prefer the come complicated and harder to disassemble and clean 3 piece design vs 2 piece.

please take a photo of the inside of the hole were you unthereaded the end.

anyways my comment where originally comparing normal 2 piece valves to 3 peice and the advantages or disadvantages of one vs the other. Thet were not in regards to the valve on the brewbucket and catalyst fermenters.

maybe you can post a pic? i do not have one here at home to pull apart but it they are assembled I assure you they can be disassembled.

I just realized this is an older thread about the tiny ball valves ssbrewtech uses specifically on the stainless buckets.... I have a couple of those type at the brewery and I believe they require an allen key to unthread the nylon bushing to get the ball out. its been a while since I...

All the ssbrewtech valves I have are the 3 piece not the simple 2 piece. Here is a Chinese 2 piece ballvalve . This one has TC ends on it but the other valves come apart the exact same way. (This valve needs to be cleaned BTW)

Specifically what valve are you talking about here? the ball does come out on all the different ball valves I own, its the only way to clean behind them. on the 2 piece valves the white nylon seal sits in the piece that unthreads.

lol hey the forum recommended this thread to me for some reason and I didnt see the date.

It will compact down as the beer ferments

My rims tube is 6 ft long so it applies that heat wattage to a lot of very low watt density surface area and I have no issues. at home my 1800w rims element is 5/8" diameter and 36" long also preventing any denaturing with the low 1.8gpm flow rate I use to prevent the grainbed from compacting. I...

The amount of false bottom surface area to recirculate at that 28 gallons per minute without compacting the bed would be insane... I do have 9000w of rims heating avaliable although I have it set to a max of 70% duty cycle to help keep the ULWD elements even lower watt density and because even...

every situation/setup is truly different... Ive underlet in my home system with great results but on my larger 3bbl system its had a number of shortcomings like drastically lower mashin temps at the top of the grain bed because of the continuous cooling of the water as it travels through the...

sadly I have none, I will take some photos for you though. every chiller is a bit different.
