has anyone brewing ~5gal batches ever tried to use the kegging dry hop filters (http://arborfab.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=67) as a filter in the kettle? I'm thinking if I can make something to hold that guy off the bottom of my kettle, I can use it for brews...

So I realized you guys are working with 300/400 micron, not mesh (which is a huge difference..). I suppose my question still remains, but swap 300 vs 400 (now leaning towards 300 micron..)

oh.. 300 micron, not mesh. big difference. thanks for clearing that up for me.

marcb, how is your 400 mesh grain basket working? any comments on efficiencies, stuck sparges, or noticeable channeling (if you use a herms or rims system)? I'm about to order one myself and am debating between 300 and 400. I'm worried 300 will let a little too much grain through (especially...

Scotty2, have you had any issues with the 400 mesh? I'm going to try and order the grain basket soon. I don't think I'll be able to get the full RIMS portion added to the cooler for a while, so for a few weeks/months the basket will just act as a false bottom. My concern is that without...

How did it turn out with cascade? I just brewed this on Saturday (first true all grain!) and had to make a few small changes to match the LHBS inventory. I also added orange zest. Looks and smells delicious. Can't wait to try this in a few weeks.

I just build my own chamber based off (read: stolen from) this design and it is working out great! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas... I went with the STC-1000 for a controler. Also, I was limited in terms of space to the width of my closet, but I can still ferment 15 gallons no problem...

Any new updates or lessons learned? I'm hoping to build one of these eventually when work slows down, but for now I can only live vicariously through the forum... Still getting solid efficiencies?
