For my 10 gal pot, it runs about 2% more loss in winter. But that will be different for other pots or humidity in your area. I just run a batch of same kind of beer in winter and then in summer and plug in the numbers to beersmith and make a winter profile and a summer one.

Us, this would be great in my chicken brooder

You don't have to have a controller to start. Just unplug when you are 3-5 degrees from target temp. Or add a on/ off switch https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-30-Amp-Industrial-Double-Pole-Switch-White-R62-03032-2WS/100356941. Later add a controller. You can fab up an extended collar the size...

I used just like you are and it came out fine. Now those ones with the bacon flavor... maybe a maple/ bacon stout!!!

One thing I have to take in consideration for boil off rate is the humidity. Here in the Southern US the humidity run very high so boil off is less. I have Beersmith set up with two equipment profiles- one for high humidity (summer) and one for low(winter). Its not perfect but it does help.

I use a Inkbird controller on mine. I use it for fermentation and to force carb so being able to adjust the temp easy is nice for me. I think they have a coupon posted . Edit: here is the link- https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/inkbird-temperature-controller-welfare-of-coupon-code.650577/

I just used this same yeast on 2 batches and it took about 3 weeks to finish. And it makes a very dry beer. Almost dry white wine like. I will again with a bit higher mash temp.

Yeah, I was thing of those needing a $15 part vs a $$$ custom part

Would a deep dish pizza pan work? Might be tough to find in SS but they do come in larger sizes: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/american-metalcraft-ha4020-20-x-1-heavy-weight-aluminum-straight-sided-pizza-pan/124HA4020.html

So, I am swapping to a bag and false bottom. I like the metal basket, but lose some space/ draining with it. I have a solid side basket and it will not drain fast enough for me. I have to throttle back a lot to keep pump working

Tagging in, love some inkbird!

You might be able to find something like this in the right size: https://www.threadtoolsupply.com/m20-exd-exe-stopping-plug-316-stainless-steel.html

I got this one and has been good for 6-8 months so far. I put up to 100 lbs on it https://www.ebay.com/itm/660lbs-LCD-AC-Digital-Floor-Bench-Scale-Postal-Platform-Shipping-300KG-Weigh/391103594452?epid=3012041981&hash=item5b0f973fd4:m:mLBooAMtNKpSvPVzcW4VISQ

Is it a tri-clamp fitting? if so that make a filler plate that will clamp on. If not, you may be able to put a tri-clamp bulkhead in the hole and then the plate. But new owner may want to shild that spot fro direct flame

Well, if you don't to here what others think, don't ask! I make beer I like, but if I ask others about it, I just take what the say with a filter. Beer judge?? going to pay attention to this one. Local brewmaster?? Ok, guy might have some idea what he is talking about. Brew club guys?? 50-50...

A lot of the cost of yeast is shipping- either to you or to a store and then to you in higher cost. My local brew store just started carrying a yeast from a place only 30 miles away. Super fresh, higher count and less cost. He hopes to phase out most of the others over time

these are made for wine. Not sure if the ball would keep them afloat: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ISZSVXQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Yeah the size is good. Find one that was not on a slow boat from China was hard, lol

I looked at those today too ( working on a way to do a cask ale) and the US reseller is out at the moment. But they do look neat

The ones like you have from Morebeer
