    How much reduction in boil off with lid on?

    I love the wording of your statement and I guess that was my thought also because I am expecting some to leave since it is not a sealed lid. I don't have to run the lid but was just thinking that others have been doing it in their videos so I would do the same. It seems that the consensus...

    How much reduction in boil off with lid on?

    I guess I was planning on doing it because that is the way I have seen it to this point similar to what I have seen in the Clawhammer system setup and videos. I do think it would do a good job at preventing boil-overs and was generally a good plan but it may not be. If it is a bad plan please...

    How much reduction in boil off with lid on?

    How much of a reduction in boil off (everyone states it is approximately 1 gallon/hour) should I expect if I keep the lid on with constant recirculation during the boil? Anyone got any numbers they have observed from their system?

    Wild Leap Alpha Abstraction - Can you clone it?

    Wouldn't surprise me if there was lactose in it but I haven't really picked up on that flavor. If it is there i think it would be a small addition.

    Wild Leap Alpha Abstraction - Can you clone it?

    I saw this post and got pretty excited hoping that someone had made a clone of this beer because I really enjoy the Alpha Abstraction line. They are currently on volume 15 which uses El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops. Volume 14 was probably my favorite so far but I must say that 15 is very good also...

    BIAB - Commercial scale?

    Buck Bald Brewing in Copperhill Tennessee uses a Colorado Brewing Systems 3 BBL system with a winch. They make great beer and are really cool people also.

    Any commercial breweries in your area using an EBIAB basket system?

    Forgot to mention that the brewer said it was a Colorado Brewing system setup. Good eye!

    Please poke holes in my design for a new EBIAB-basket system

    you would have liked the system at Buck Bald Brewing. Solid cylinder with a mesh bottom just as you suggested. Reading back through the posts gave a different idea for how to put a standpipe similar to the grainfather since I ddidmt like the idea of a standpipe in the middle unsupported. I...

    Buck Bald Brewing in Copperhill, TN uses an EBIAB basket system

    I originally posted this in the BIAB forum but wanted this groups input since it also falls into the electric category. Visited Buck Bald Brewery in Copper Hill, TN and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a 3 BBL EBIAB Basket brew system. Great beer and even better people. Does...

    Any commercial breweries in your area using an EBIAB basket system?

    Visited Buck Bald Brewery in Copper Hill, TN and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a 3 BBL EBIAB Basket brew system. Great beer and even better people. Does anyone else know of any other EBIAB systems being used in commercial breweries?

    Total diameter of the lid for a Spike 20 Gallon kettle including lip?

    That is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

    Please poke holes in my design for a new EBIAB-basket system

    Reading through the Spike Solo comments about stuck sparges is one of the reasons that I wanted to modify my basket to have additional area up the sides. We do a large amount of adjuncts in several of our beers including over a pound each of rolled oats and flaked wheat. These particular...

    Raising OG with Sugar Water

    Dry or liquid malt extract is considered a better alternative to sugar water to raise the OG.

    My first keezer - Cost and build steps.

    There is spray paint made specifically for appliances at Home Depot or Lowes. Worked great for me with almost no prep. This looks like a great build to me. Way to go!

    Please poke holes in my design for a new EBIAB-basket system

    I love the idea of what you are saying but not sure how to effectively do a whirlpool and spray the top of the bed at the same time. Would a whirlpool be more important than to recirculation for the sytem? Should I install a 3 way valve on the pump outlet side so I can whirlpool and...

    I Would Like To Practice With My All Grain Setup. Cheapest Way?

    I am building an EBIAB basket system and this sounds like excellent advice. Being able to replicate a couple beers on the new system will be fun also to prove to myself that I have things dialed in.

    Total diameter of the lid for a Spike 20 Gallon kettle including lip?

    Can anyone tell me the total diameter of a Spike 20 gallon lid including the lip? I know that it fits into a 17.7" kettle opening and has approximately 0.5" lip which would give it a total width of approximately 18.7" if that is right. Do anyone have one they could measure for me or know where...

    Please poke holes in my design for a new EBIAB-basket system

    I was excited to see your posts on my upcoming build because I have looked through all of the pages of the THING 1 build and have read through the process of your system and many others. Your system has evolved quite a bit but I want this one to be mostly complete right from the go so I am...
