    Bayou classic steamer baskets

    About the finer crush, if this is true, why don't BMC beer makers use that system? Efficiency it what they are all about. Certainly, the "ten minute conversion" you constantly flail, would benefit them by millions of dollars, if it is true. So, why are the people who are only concerned about...

    Brew in a Basket...anybody try one of these?

    FYI, Colorado Brewing Systems recently went from a full mesh basket to a solid side basket with a mesh bottom so sparging would be more efficient, forcing the water to travel move purely downward through the mash. They do supply many small breweries so there might be something to it.

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Had he been from the eastern part of the south he would have asked for a, "CoCola." Were the server from the same area she would have responded, "What kind?"

    Full-boil benefits with BIAB?

    The reason Triclad exists is to entice us tool snobs to spend more regardless of actual, provable benefits. Just a thought.

    Solar, 12v, Refrigeration, Walk-in

    Grass? When I lived in Glendale, we had green rocks for a lawn between us and the pool. (Everyone has a pool in the Phoenix area.) Check into digging a hole under that pergola. If you can get down a 10 or more feet you will have a stable area to cool. More than likely, you will hit...

    Full-boil benefits with BIAB?

    I don't know about you but, I certainly don't own a silver boil kettle.:mad: Yes, aluminum does transfer heat better than stainless steel (SS). That is why I commented that it, consequently, cannot hold heat better. You must, however, take into account that the thickness of the average...

    How to age your brew for a year

    I am too new to this obsession. Wait a year? REALLY? I could be wrong but I think it was Hemingway who said, "The only thing I cannot resist is temptation."

    Full-boil benefits with BIAB?

    Folks, I know I am new here. Please forgive me in advance for the following rant. I hope I don't get booted from this forum but, I cannot let full bravado bull hockey go uncontested. I know I have already posted a couple responses to this guy but, I reread the thread and found a dismissive...

    Full-boil benefits with BIAB?

    Again, if it "conducts heat" significantly better that means it cannot possibly "hold heat" significantly better since it will be conducting heat equally well in either direction, again due to the laws of thermodynamics. Logic is not your best suit, is it? And that is in English as well.

    Full-boil benefits with BIAB?

    How can something conduct heat better if it doesn't shed it? Do you have any understanding of thermodynamics or are you just parroting stuff you read somewhere? If the material does not shed the heat it does not conduct it, it merely absorbs it.

    True or False?

    The same profit margin. Let's suppose he marks things up 30%. Are we to believe that 30% of $20 is the same as 30% of $45? If he makes the same margin he actually makes more when he sells extract. Simple math, not a conspiracy. If he doesn't see that simple fact, it is a good thing he...

    Still making bad beer after 30+ batches.

    Buy a rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer to seal your fermenting bucket. Seal that puppy. I use secondaries simply because I have a Big Mouth Bubbler for primary because I like to watch the action. I switch to a bucket for secondary when the action is no longer amusing and that frees up my...

    Should we be eliminating copper hardware?

    It looked like a fairly academic assessment to me. Don't get butthurt. I learned a lot from this thread. All things are toxic. It all amounts to the exposure level. Exposure levels were discussed in detail with examples and citations. That is how the scientific method works. You...
