I'm off of Concho just 6 miles out of town. Moved from Chandler about 6 yrs ago. I've made mead 3 times & plan on doing it again, once my brew kits are completed.

I'm in Snowflake. Where are you at? Is tough looking for folks in this area. I used to live in the valley & I just went to my brew store for info. It's desolate around here.

Thought you said recirc did nothing for efficiency? Must have read it wrong.

I was just reading this online about recirc with biab.

But, If I get a 304 Stainless Steel pot, would the magnet work? Maybe a silly question, idn. I just remembered I do have a wifi grill thermometer with 4 a 3 ft probe. I could just drape over side & slap cover over it. I have a question....I read recirc or whirlpool isnt neccesary but...

I've watched a couple biab "1st time biab" vids & one guy heated the water at 160 & then dumped the grain in heated water, reducing temp to about 154. After stirring grain a bit, he turned burner off & covered kettle with several jackets wrapped around with bungie cord & stirred every 15-20...

I have a welding blanket I use for my smoker in the winter. You think that'll be sufficient? It's quite thick.

That was the 1st question I asked a few mos ago when getting interested in biab. Then I wanted to do it & never did so I forced my hand by ordering an all grain kit, or putting the cart b/4 the horse, per se. Yes, the fundamemtal difference, imo, is the number of vessles & effort involved in...

I do have method of heat control, it's a propane burner and you're very correct with insulation (not so accurate with electric ). Temp will be monitored in pot via wifi temp guage. I'll explain: Extract brewing involves steeping "grain in a bag" at 152f-160f for about 30 mins & I'll cover the...

Yes, I understand the concept. Did I say something that to the contrary in one of my commemts? I'm unsure what your point is, otherwise.

I understand. Actually, helping customers out when you don't have the product is respectable, not business suicide. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising. I didn't hear about your company here first, someone had recommended you from Reddit yesterday. And you also had mention ober the...

Sorry, wasn't accusing you of ignorring me. Where I live, a day is "1 or 2 days, or a couple days" in conversation. When I ask a contractor when he'll be out to my place, I get "sometime next week" & he's out the next day.

Yes, this what I'm seeing for size. I read a kettle size 2x the batch or 2.5x if planning on any big brews. I'm looking for a vessle to be used on a burner, not electric. If I didn't live offgrid, this would have been a consideration. Also, I plan on brewing biab for a while since it seems...

Definately no constraint issues, here. If my house gets cluttered, I'll just move stuff to my barn or garage. I just want buy smartly since I see no sense in spending on alot that won't be ulilized. What do you have on your pot? Trying to get a feel for what I'll need for biab. I've seen...

It looks like his site is just a warehouse of other brands being adverised.

Yes, I did look at this. It's a nice brew kettle & spoke to Jeff about it. The grade is 304 & wall is 1mm & bottom is 3mm thick. This was on my list but was focused on the others mentioned in my post due to better quality (not much, though) but I couldn't find many reviews the DBS kettles. The...

Ooops!

Agreed. Spike's expensive & are many other alternatives out there. Brewmaster looks nice but is 202 stainless steel & I'm looking for a better grade.

Thanks for the link. I was given a lead time of about 6 weeks for delivery, point is, the guy that made quote sent something, I thought, was wayyy out of the ballpark from what I said I wanted. I did send Brew Hardware an e-mail 2 days ago about my needs but haven't gotten a reply, yet. How...

I guess if I'm looking for big beer, which I like, I can add dme for the boost when boiling if I finally decide 10g. Was looking for $200-$300 range & it's getting up there, especially Spike but they will customize as much as you need. I like to do as ez as I can, less parts less to lose.
