Has anyone purchased the NO MALT PIPE version of the brew bag for the foundry? Was curious if it could still fit in the malt pipe or if it would be better to just stick with the regular bag. Don’t really plan on going much higher than 16 lb grain bills but could be nice to have the flexibility...

I have a 40s house and use a three prong dryer outlet. The box was updated at some point but for sure not recently. More updated than the one in the photo but still not new. It is on a 30 amp and I use an inline gfci. I can’t tell you if yours is safe or not but I would assume it is if it can...

Thanks for the heads up. I sent them an email.

Just FYI if you are like me and have a pump and decided against the recirculation kit but talked yourself into purchasing the perforated disk, it does not come with the eye bolt. I haven’t been able to find the right size available in stainless at any of the big box stores. Don’t really want to...

I’m leaning toward that one (ph60). The probes also seem pretty inexpensive, in comparison.

You could let it finish dry, add potassium sorbate to prevent any more fermenting, then back sweeten with more juice or sugar. I think it would be best to let the yeast finish fermenting to avoid off flavors. I could be wrong.

I absolutely love my brew bucket and have no regrets buying it but whatever thermometer came with it broke the moment I pulled that rubber seal off to remove the batteries haha. I bought it to use the thermowell for my InkBird probe so it didn’t really bother me but, yea...they are super cheap...

I understand most people don’t have both of these ph meters to compare but I am curious what your experiences have been with one or the other. Mw102 is on sale right now at morebeer for $109 but is still $30 more than the PH60 is on Amazon. They both have replaceable probes, which is a must for...

Chimay, Trappist rochefort...pretty much any of those higher gravity Trappist dubbels. St bernardus Christmas ale, too, for sure. Although I am a year round stout drinker, they are especially good during the winter months. Foothills Sexual Chocolate comes to mind.

I’ve got one I’ll be kegging this weekend. Will have been in primary two weeks. I usually keg within two or three weeks, if all is well. The first pour might have a little bit of stuff in it but I have never seen that as a problem. You can drink or toss the first pour. Up to you. I’ve never...

I agree with all of this. Good points. In the meantime, I went and bought a $10 piece of sheet metal and some magnets to rig up a hood I can throw over the controls during boil if I feel uneasy about it.

This is awesome. I broke down and ordered that disc and now I wish I had just done something like this. I just didn’t want to modify the lid.

Im not sure how to tell. I just got mine like a week or two ago. What little bit of water that did hit the controller didn’t seem to make it into the components.

I agree. I probably wouldn’t have purchased one if I knew they didn’t bother to seal the components. Thank you for the heads up on this. I will try and seal mine up as well.

That is disheartening. Was the damage electrical, I assume?

Ooooohhh I’m sorry. I misunderstood. Yea it sucks those things waste so much I’m trying to think of ways to mitigate some of that. I might put a valve on it and redirect it to a bucket or something when I know I’ll need some water for washing clothes or something like that and just switch it...

Ok, I see. You run the washer while you are filtering the water? That’s a good idea. Would be enough pressure, I assume, for the washer to pull from.

Does the waste go directly in through a top load? Or is it actually hooked up to the supply line so the machine can pull from it? Interested in making a similar setup.

I might just go with that. I was looking at the iSpring. I suppose anything in that price range would do.

Where did you find one under $100? I just started looking at RO systems this morning and just about pulled the trigger on a $175 one and that is without the DI. I thought that was cheap, until reading your post. That beer looks incredibly tasty, btw.
