Looks like China. Probably direct from the manufacturer.

I always brew at least one keg of BierMuncher's Cream of Three Crops for summer parties. Its a great beer on its own and its easy for the BMC crowd, who aren't so into craft beer, to handle. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=66503

I see about a 10% mash eff bump when sparging. Even more so with higher OG beers. That said, I've mainly stopped doing it just because its less convenient. I prefer to just add an extra lb or two of grain and not have to deal with it. I will still do it on super high OG 1.085+

I don't have the COFI but mine is similar without the lid. Why couldn't you just pour the water over the top while its hanging? That's what I do with my basket.

Just paid on my 50% off too

I have a pickup tube and have absolutely no issues with flow rates while mashing, whirlpooling or chilling through my CFC. Darin said the same thing to me about the flow rates but maybe he tested with a smaller diameter diptube. My 1/2" one has no issues. I have only .25g in the kettle after...

My crush has been set to .040 since day one on the brew boss. Never had any issues with that

Count me in on this. Been looking at a few different products that do this lately.

You are definitely reading the chart correctly. The water is meant to completely cover the grain. Any grain sitting above the water is not going to get fully converted and will certainly drop your efficiency even lower. I do a sparge just like MerlinWerks and it bumps me up about 10% mash...

60 worked well for me on 5 gallon batches.

Hmm is that the shipped? I'm sure I'll be brewing cream of three crops again soon. Anyone want to split?

You could probably just setup steps that would cycle the pump and heater less often. You may not be able maintain exact temps like you do during a normal mash but you could probably accomplish something to keep things within a certain range. Here's an example: Heat to 130F. Step type 3...

So I had my first of these today. Brewed 10 gallons and serving it on nitro. It is VERY close to Guinness. A bit roastier (in my opinion) but I actually like that better! Thanks for the great recipe!

I have a SS hop basket and the only time I've noticed any perceived loss in bitterness or aroma when using it would be when brewing super hoppy IPAs. I seem to be able to get a better hop punch without the filter. May have something to do with putting so many hops in the filter that there isn't...

I don't leave the grains in there until it hits 190. I tend to remove he bag and then let it sit there on that step while the bag drains. I set it to 190 because I want to start getting up to boiling temps. Once the bag is done draining I'll advance to the next step but it will be closer to...

Yeah that would work. I use an app called AirDroid on the tablet that lets me connect to the tablet wirelessly and drop the file right in the appropriate folder without the need to email to myself. I don't have my tablet with me but finding the folder the step files live in is fairly easy...

I just updated the Brew Boss step generator on my site to now allow you to also load a step file in addition to exporting. I also added the ability to give the step file a name when exporting. Let me know about any bugs. (this will still not work in IE)...

The bases of those elements are not made of stainless steel and are susceptible to rusting. I've replaced mine with the newer versions that actually have a stainless base but I brewed many batches on mine after it rusted. I coated mine with a food grade silicone to seal it in but other just...

I have been able to get 5 gallon batches into the mid 90's (almost 30 above ambient) in my mini fridge with a reptile heating pad that is only 24 watts. I imagine you can do it with 10-15 gallon batches as well

Big fan of the Azacca/Mosaic combo and also Citra/Mosaic
