    Brew kettle size

    I just started doing 10 gallon batches in my 15 gallon kettle, when my starting wort volume is 13.4 I get pretty nervous and ready to move to a 20 so I can let loose a heavy boil and not have to babysit the kettle for an hour!

    Brew kettle size

    When you go all grain, and full boil batches using a flame thrower turkey fryer setup and that beast starts to boil you will be loving the extra room! just a comment from a peanut, but I have been in the but business a couple of year! cheers!

    Sparget for Keggle

    I build one out of PVC for my keggle, works great and I sure it spews plastics toxics into my beer, I offset it with hops and grain!

    Hefeweizen Recipe for a noob - HELP

    Using the right yeast and temp is huge if you want to impart the right flavor profile, since moving back to Germany I haven't been brewing Hefe. JBIII is 100% spot on with using 3068.

    Critique on Marzen Beer (Malts Only)

    Guess it depends on if you're cloning a beer. My Paulaner is a bit lighter than my HP marzen, I think the taste would be about the same. I would increase the grain bill, assuming a 5 gl batch, my HP in the fridge is 5.9%.

    Going to Oregon, what breweries to hit?

    Falling Sky and Ninkasi in Eugene, his HUB in Portland off of Powell. I love all 3 for where you're going, and I am from Eugene, my sister lives walking distance from HUB, great beer and great food! If you get to Newport Rogue is an awesome experience! I was there in May!

    Recirculating before sparge, necessary?

    I see your point about getting grain stuck in your sparge arm. I have a QD on my sparge arm and I disconnect it and run the vorlauf wort back into the MT gently and slowly along the side so my grain bed stays in place. When I change my hose back to sparge it cleans the pump head from the wort...

    Another "Does This Look Infected To You" thread

    I brewed on Saturday and used the same yeast looks about the same! I too would stop pulling the lid off to look. Next time you brew use a rubber mallet to seat the lid.

    Safale S05 lag time

    I brewed a pilsner hybrid yesterday morning, everything finished by noon and safale 05 pitched. I got up at 9 this morning and the airlock is popping! I use this yeast all the time for my pale ales and it has always taken off within 12-18 hours, very crazy for 24-48 hours then it completely stops.

    Show me your two tier

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/41322952@N08/ Here is my two-tier. I used the plan that Jason had posted and had my welders put it together per his plans. I really like it. I tore apart my turkey fryers and mounted the burners and shrouds. I went with this so I only have to use one pump...

    Two Tier Brew Stand

    I love riding too but since moving from Hawaii where I rode 4-5k per year to NC where I have been deployed and ride 1k or less per year. I just sold the BMW and deliver it next weekend. We are moving to Germany in 2 months and I might pick up a dual sport before I come back to the States.

    Two Tier Brew Stand

    That was my 2009 R1, such a great bike, loved the sound! FMF pipes are great on that cross plank engine. I sold it in August of 2013 and bought a used 2012 BMW S1000RR.

    Two Tier Brew Stand

    I finished my version of Jason two tier stand and did a wet test today, nothing leaked, but I do need to switch the HLT and the boil kettle burners, way to hot up top, pump was great and I will brew on it next weekend. Jeremy https://www.flickr.com/photos/41322952@N08/
