I know this is an old thread, but I am about to buy some sticks out metal and just want to ask for any words of wisdom from the OP. Are the dimensions good? Is there anything you would do differently? Are you truly pleased with the angle iron? Thanks in advance!

I use a 70 Qt cooler as a MLT, I vorlauf way more than 8 quarts. I usually starts a wide open to just flow liquid. I never shut the valve off, just raise your hose above the level of the tun and your water flow will stop. I run about 8 Qt at full blast then I throttle back on my output, usually...

You realize that even with Each Keggle filled completely to the brim with liquid the total weight of the three vessels would be around 400lbs. I would think that an angle stand built just like a tube stand will be completely adequate ans safe. Considering that steels structural strength does not...

Put some baking soda inside it somehow?

Thank you!

Wncbrewer, could you supply me with some pics of your setup? Im getting ready to start buying supplies for the build and honestly the only info I have is from reading threads on here. I currently do all grain but only use a 8 gallon boil kettle for both the BK and HLT with a 70 QT MLT.

ajdelange I just saw a post where someone had made a switch for their RTD's that would solve my problem I think.

I like the Idea of less PIDs.

Yeah I think that does make sense to me. So when you mash at lets say 154 is your target mash temp. What would you typically set your HLT and MLT values at? So during the beginning of your boil it would still read the mash temp which should for sure be lower then the temp a firing boil kettle right?

Okay so I have been crunching some ideas and have a question. This might be a stupid question, and I am up for suggestions. Basically I want a low pressure LP HERMS rig with two burners. I have seen a e-hems where the HLT and Boil Kettle both have elements and the control panel has three...

How long do you boil for? I know you ran 14 gallons through but how much runoff did you actually collect?

?

So I am thinking of upgrading to a single tier HERMS system with two bg14 burners. Who uses these type burners and which type of electric valve are you using? I am really in the planning and pricing stages right now just looking for some input.

I'm in!

My first all grain batch has been in bottle for about 7-8 weeks. It was really easy drinking at about 4 weeks. Now I opened two up last night and they had a very intense hops smell and flavor. Its not totally overbearing but just a lot stronger than it was 3 weeks ago. This was my first...

I would go with beer smith. Besides the programs are just what stats are supposed to turn out if everything goes as planned. I would just worry about OG and TG. I pretty much always use 1 packet of dry yeast. There are a bunch of yeast cell in that packet should be fine for 5 gallons.

Just going to warn you there are going to be several people probably hollar at you for this things not being food grade. Me personally I think if you want to try it I would. Thats what makes this hobby great. I would however look into what type of plastic that is and if it is rated for...

I use 2% and it works great I just pour some into a plate and then I slowly let the back of the label touch the milk making sure that it is not to wet. The I stick them on and squeeze out the air. I have never had any problems with smell or anything like that. To keep the Ink from running...

Thanks Hokie for the prompt response. One more question where do you get the Golden Matte Finish?

I am very interested in this how long till you get a detailed instruction on here?
