Sure, check out Bulk Reef Supply - you could get a 200 gallon per day system for under $300

When my PID says 212 (which I trust), and the surface of the kettle is erupting, then my boil timer begins. But normally I already have some FWH in the kettle, which I highly recommend.

Not great for brewing, install a RO system.

Things to try: if you are relying on the LHBS grain mill, try running the grain through twice. If your mash temp was "pretty consistent" then double check the accuracy of your thermometer (ice bath test) and consider mashing slightly lower to increase fermentability.

What do you consider an arm and a leg? Many places are under $10 flat rate if the total purchase is under $50 or so, and it's free shipping if the total purchase is over that amount.

So you lost about 3 gallons on the floor? I assume you were targeting at least 6 gallons in the kettle pre-boil, and if you lost most of the first runnings then your current SG in the kettle is probably pretty low -- did you take a reading? I don't think 1 pound of DME is going to solve this...

Hire a licensed electrician to install the receptacle, wiring and GFCI breaker in your panel.

Regarding the water profile, I would target something similar to a Helles/Pilsner around 50 ppm each for Ca, SO4 and Cl. And Mg and Na <5ppm. And CaCO3 as low as possible.

Maybe 3 oz. Saaz at 60, 2 oz. Hallertau at 10 and 5, and 2 oz. Crystal at flameout. That's about 26 IBU's total.

What are the AA% of your varieties and what is your total IBU target?

Thanks for the tip! I just replaced the original bushings with these and it sounds so much better.
