I almost exclusively use late addition hops + hopstand for IPAs now. My standard hop schedule is usually: 5 min 0 min -30 min I'll hop stand/whirlpool for about an hour and not let the temps go below 170F.

$50 shipped for the 2 tap to 15084?

You can check for conversion many ways. Th easiest is probably just tasting the wort. If it taste's sweet, you have had at least some conversion. You could also do an iodine test to test for conversion but again it wont give you any indication of the actually efficiency. The best method is...

I use these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002H3S5K/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Follow Amazon for a sale, I think I bought mine at like $19.99/ea Holds a 50-55 lb bag perfectly.

Goo Gone or WD-40 works for me.

I've completely stopped doing secondaries whether dry hopping or not. Haven't noticed any difference in the taste of my beers.

I built a cleaner with a cheap harbor freight submersible pump and a few ball lock disconnects. This way I can shoot pbw up through the out and gas tubes at the same time. I run PBW for 5 mins and then star san for about 30 seconds. Comes in very handy when cleaning more than a few kegs...

I've poured into a sanitized mason jar and stored them in the fridge for a week or two without issues.

The one thing I dont see you mention is temp control. What are you doing for that? You mention that the basement is cold. How cold is it?

I like the Azacca/Mosaic combo as well.

Hell, maybe dry brain it and throw them at the zombies as a distraction.

Or DFH calls it a Randall but thats more for the serving side.

Azacca has become one of my favorite hops. I first used it when trying to figure out how to clone Victory Hop Ranch but I've used it a bunch since then. It was gone for awhile until this years harvest and I stocked up on 5lb. The mango notes are what keeps me coming back to this hop.

The whale doesn't.

Ever in the Pittsburgh area?

I own the current version of the Brew Boss and can vouch its a great system. The COFI filter looks awesome.... might just be time to upgrade ;) I wish I didn't like shiny new things so much.... Best of luck!

I picked mine up on craigslist but I swear I looked for a year before I found the right one at the right price.

Here is mine. Won a few times with this. The key is removing 1 gallon of wort before mash out and boil it down to 1/4 gallon then add back to the rest of the wort to get the rich caramel flavors. Mash at 153 90 minute boil 16lb M.O. 1lb C120 8oz C60 3oz Roasted Barley 1oz NB hops for 60...
