That's been my experience, and why I was considering a dunk sparge. When I feed the spent grains to the chix, it seems like they are getting a lot of the sugars that i'd like to have in the wort! Thanks to you, z-bob and doug293cz, as well as other commenters, I'm going to try out the dunk...

I purge my kegs with CO2 before I put still wine in them, but last Aug I needed to put my RIS in something other than my glass carboy, and didn't have time to bottle becuz I was taking it cross country. I racked into the keg with no primer at all, just the CO2 from the purge - 3 weeks later it...

WOW!! It looks like I almost started a couple of flame wars ...... sorry about that, as I said at first, I didn't want to start any flame wars, arguments, etc.. From what I've seen on different forums is that everybody has his own way of brewing, everybody has his own take on efficiency, etc.. I...

Thanks for all the responses to my question - I had thoughts that by using the 180F water, I might use a little less power for raising the temperature of the wort to boiling temperature. I think it's cheaper to heat my percolator to temp (because it recirculates the heating water - like a GF or...

Most of the recipes I see here and everywhere else on the net, tell you to sparge at between 165F to 170F (very rarely, there's one for 175F). I have recently purchased an old 4.5 gal coffee urn that stops and holds at 180F for at least 2 hours. Not being a brewing GURU, (I only brew for me, no...

Yeah, for another 3 bucks I can get the bags, but I might have to add a little more dough for the 1/4" pulleys ($8?), which would be alright with me. I don't like tying knots in my hop socks and don't use a hop spider (yet). so I'd just figure a way to tie the hop sock with some paracord or...

I'm curious as to how well your poly rope has held up ..... every time I've bought any of that yellow stuff - cheap polypropylene rope, it starts splintering almost right away - and I really don't fancy little bits of plastic floating in my beer ;>). OR, is your poly rope more like...

I wasn't trying to denigrate your product, I was just noting that some of the Amazon offerings are not carrying the load that is claimed, and I think one of them failed right away - and as well I'm wondering if yours are a better quality product/different brand. Thanks for that info ... I...

These racheting pulleys w/ropes seem to get mixt reviews on Amazon - as in ... won't hold the weight (supposedly 300 lb for 1/4"). Just wondering if these from Wilser are a different brand/better quality? I was planning to use racheting straps, but wanted to look into this style with ropes. Any...

Thanks, now I gotta get hold of Menards (they're not in this part of TN, but I used to see them in N and S Dakota a lot)! The closest store is in Kentucky, but I'm sure they will ship .... for a price! Owensboro 3001 Heartland Crossing Owensboro, KY 42303 Masterforce® 1/4" NPT Mini Regulator...

Do you have a link to the building/parts of that spund/pressure relief/with-gauge setup that you show in that pic? I'm especially interested in the pressure relief parts for a CC-pinlock, and whether I can locate a pin-lock setup for it - and what other pressure settings might be available...

OK, so I scaled the recipe down from 108 gal to 5 gal using BeerSmith. NOTE: I used Northern Brewer's assumption that the amount of hops is 0.75 kg. I still had to adjust the gravity, because B/S insisted that the gravity should be 1.053 and the ABV should be 4.9%. After adjusting the gravity...

Are you working on a clone? As far as I know, neither Triibute nor Proper Job is available in Tennessee, and I know for sure it's not available in Montana anywhere near where I live (until I sell the place!).

I just checked my emails and thought I'd share part of it with you: I had told him that I had no interest in the Tribute recipe (I wouldn't have anything to compare with a homebrewed version anyways) ..... but I'm thinking that you folks over there might be interested if you intend to work on...

I'm of the age (most of your movies/TV series, refer to people my age as 'pensioners') that the inflow of dollars has gotten to be much smaller than when I was able to find work. Now I brew smaller batches and higher ABVs because I have to limit my intake to a couple of beers a week. That being...

ish oz Yeah, after scaling the 108 gallons down to 5 gallons on beerSmith, and then lowering the OG to 1.044 as it is in the recipe, I got 5lb, 11oz of Maris, 1lb 10oz Munich, and 6.5oz each of the Cara and Wheat malts, so I came out pretty close I figure. I'd just like to know a bit more about...

OK, I went with the carapils for now, neither BeerSmith nor BrewTarget show the Caramalt, so I'll have to do some research to add it to both programs. I like the idea fo using Windsor and then after HK, use Notty - I'd like to see what that would do in one of my brews coming up. As far as...

Thanks, I'll work on that. I used Carafa for the "Cara" to be able to get 23 SRM - Cara-Pils was way low at about 8 SRM. Yeah, anytime I work on a non-US recipe, I always get myself in trouble. For British recipes, I have to remember to think Imperial measurements, rather than metric. Ahhh, I...

I found this thread yesterday, and would like to try to re-create the recipe you posted (on paper/in my brewing calculator), if possible - not the Tribute, but the Daylight Robbery. According to this website...

I hope this isn't too late for you ...... Maybe this will give you some ideas! It's "Blue Violet" but maybe it's blue enough. The Butterfly Pea Flowers are available on Amazon. I'm going to get some seeds for this Spring/Summer and grow my own! If you also look up the seeds, it will show you...
