Since I switched to mashing in a bag (Wilser), vorlauf is a thing of the past. But in the past, I typically drained a half gallon or so into a pitcher. It wasn't a big deal.

Yeah, good stuff. It seems exactly the same as the liquid version.

It actually works better than the demonstration in my recent use!

I recently used the picnic tap 2.0 from Trong (inventor of SpundIt). I'm not sure if it's for sale yet but it rocks! I don't usually use picnic taps but I brought a couple of kegs out of town for a party. It works great! No drips, no excessive foam. Highly recommended!

You guys can't actually reach your arm to the bottom of a corny, can you? My arms are long but too thick. I barely get past my elbow.

I recently upgraded to a triple faucet tower from a double. Therefore, I received another Perlick flow control faucet. I also got a few bottles of Belgian beer.

I took about 6-7 years off and I'm now brewing more than ever. I'm originally from PA, too (Philly) but I'm now in Charleston, SC. Welcome back!

Awesome.

I can't comment on your water chemistry but I would up the dry hops to at least an ounce each.

Lutra works well in my Baltic Porters I've used liquid and dry - both are excellent.

Wish I could take credit. Trong, the inventor of the SPUNDit turned me on to the idea.

I brewed a Pils today for a party in Philly next month. I utilized my inground wort chiller...

I used Cosmic Punch once. It was good but didn't have that extra oomph I was expecting. I did go light on the mash hops, tho (an ounce iirc). I'll eventually try it again but it will get much more hops in the mash.

I used to sparge but since I got back into brewing a couple of years ago, I now go no sparge in a mash BIAB. I crush the ***** out of my grain and get way better efficiency.

White Christmas Stout? It's my wife's favorite. A bit too much coffee for me. Or the OP?

I recently used 04 A couple of times. Good attenuation but not that high. I've been using it for a White Christmas Stout where I go from 1.075 to 1.015-ish. Two times in a row with that.

One difference on mine is a piece of hose on the cap to the bottom of the bottle. And I use a smaller bottle (12 oz).

That's how I do it. Saw it on Dr Hans.

I sometimes put hot wort in my 10g Torpedo, pop on the lid and chill it in my pool. Pressurized fermentation and transfer to corny (5 gallon batches).

I just drop them in the fermenter in a hop bag.
