I have been buying crushed grain from Morebeer and fighting mash efficiencies in the 50% range. I was thinking of moving back to extracts, but then SHMBO (who feeds the wild birds in the backyard) discovered that the birds like the spent grains, so I told her it was her fault I had to spend...

I have (unintentionally) waaaaaayyyy overcarbed a stout that was in these bottles. Even cold, they were all undrinkable gushers, one even splashed the ceiling when opened, and did not have any grenades.......

2 YEARS????? I can't get past 2 months.....

From my understanding (and I have been wrong before a couple of times in my seventy years), the issue with running the pump during the boil is the chance of sucking air into the pump instead of water.....instant cavitation......

What has been your experience with the amount of water needed for adequate mixing of the DME?

I use the big mouth bubblers as well. I put one of these on top of the lid while fermenting.....the lid is going nowhere...... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09FFWZ45Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I use a pond pump submerged in a cooler full of ice water. It pumps the ice water through the chiller and then the returns goes back in the cooler. Takes me about 20 minutes to go from boil to 75F. I then use the water in the cooler for cleaning water, and after used for cleaning, it gets...
