They will be fine.

Duh. I'm so used to my setup with the input on top of the kettle with a silicone hose running to the inside bottom of the kettle I didn't think of the return being so low. Is the one pickup with the cap the out or the in? The reason is I'm asking is I get a lot of trub in my center mounted...

Why do you have two pickups in the kettle?

It will be fine. My guess is this is occuring with whole hops and not pellets? Sometimes when you dry hop with whole hops you'll get foaming from the CO2 release. It gets caught up in the hops.

I made a 3G batch of Shramm's sweet mead. I'm going to split into 3 1 gallon jugs after fermentation completes and do the following: 1. standard sweet mead 2. vanilla addition - metheglin 3. sour cherry addition - melomel

bar + food - Monks Get the dirty mussels special and the sours on tap at the back bar.

I also read raking the top of the grain bed will give better efficiency as well.

Bobby, I have a direct fired sanke keg RIMS with two pumps. I currently don't have a sparge arm. I use a piece of foil on top of the grain bed and dribble water onto the foil during the sparge. I haven't been making holes in the foil, I wonder if I'm channeling. I'll try perforating the foil...

Bobby, I am in the same boat you are. I starting to fly sparge a few batches ago as well. Why, because I can. I want to figure what process I like better. I have efficiencies ranging from 65 to 90% fly sparging. a couple things to watch: Sparge for 60 minutes but don't over oversparge by...

What temperature did you ferment at? I ferment that yeast at 65 - no higher.

I have a gallon (12 lbs) of orange blossom honey. I have 10# frozen sour cherries, 5# frozen blueberries, but I'm open to any recipe. I also have plenty of nutrient and I can add nutrient during fermentation. Looking for a suggestion/recipe. SWMBO likes sweet wines or sour beers. What should I...

I would look at fermentation control.

Protestant stout.

Aye, but te Guinness in Stockholm is just as good.

Nothing will grow in beer that will hurt you. Drink one, you may be dumping a great beer.

Nice brew pot.

I just tapped a keg of year old Apflewein. It's worth the wait.

Let it age for a year and then taste it.

Yes,My hands will crack they are so dry.

This was a good recommendation. As for the clogged ball valve, you can always siphon off instead of draining. I take a hydrometer reading at first runnings, then preboil, then post boil. You can make an adjustment at either of those times once you learn your system.
