Can you get ahold of a Coleman Xtreme 6201?

You didn't mention chilling the wort but I gotta figure Wisconsin in the winter time would be prime location to employ the no-chill/slow chill strategies. On a side note, you might be interested in the course I published located in my signature if you're looking for ways to stay brewing in...

10 days.

Is it a height or weight thing? One can bail with a long handled kitchen pot quite quickly. After the first run, you can adjust your strike water temperature to compensate for temperature lost during the transfer due to time.

I'm digging on the simplicity of the 'summer smash' all-grain recipe on NorthernBrewer.com. At 4.5%, a fella can have a couple without damage to health or wallet.

Says the guy with now 90 posts? :)

What happens after 100 posts?

It took me submerging all connections (not the reg obviously) in a pot of water to spot a slow leak once. Maybe give that a go?

I don't think you can go wrong with the northwest. Sent from my iPod touch using Home Brew

But those are the cheap ones. Keg prices have been steadily on the rise. I picked up some ding and dents for twenty bills shipped five years ago. They serve their intended purpose of dispensing beer happily. You are going to pay pretty good coin for the blemish free ones unfortunately these...

DFH 60 minute IPA

Throw this into your bread machine on the dough cycle. 210 g water 381 g flour 2 T oil 2 T sugar 1.5 c spent grain (straight from the mashtun) 1.5 tsp salt 2 tsp yeast Put 1 TBLsp of oil in your cast iron pan. Make the pizza in the pan. Put both pans on FULL blast for 1 minute...

Chris Porter's "Ugly and Angry" is excellent. Never breaks character (not sure it's character actually) and never laughs at his own jokes.

Don't discount moving past 5 gallon BIAB batches. If you buy right the first time, you won't have to rebuy later down the road. I recommend a 8 gallon brew pot / mash vessel (forward compatible should you go to double-batches). As rlmiller10 mentions, having a cooler is great addition for...

You could line your MT with an old, worn bedsheet and create a hybrid BiAB and MT system. After your lauter has slowed to a trickle, pick up the bedsheet/bag and drain the remaining .5 G into your boil pot. This, essentially, reduces your MT deadspace to nil.

Chickens love grain. My parents chickens are good for over a pound per chicken per day. I swear the eggs taste even better because of it :)

^^ Agreed. They are different animals. As far as the mashtun goes, I'm a big fan of this design: drilled stopper with a copper elbow exiting the MT, stainless steel colander on top (pictured) with a sheet of muslin draped in the MT.

+Thermoworks. Can't imagine life without it. (Ok, that sounds a little bit sad but it's a pretty amazing little machine).

+ 1 If on a city water supply, campden is your best friend. I disagree about the either or when it comes to BIAB VS Mashtun. I use a 'hybrid' system. It's a rectangular cooler that's in the 80-100qt range. Use the existing bore or create your own (hidden under the SS colander) like I did...

Here is my kegerator. This, my tiny laundry room, happens to be where I also brew double batches, ferment, store, dispense and occasionally wash clothes. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=239678&stc=1&d=1417650750
