The only part I had laying around that was stainless steel is 1/4 inch and not 1/2 ". The only issue I see as I have yet to use it is it will drain slower. Am I right?

@TxBrew I love this site.

Thank you so much. That really helps. I heard one person say special b malt can add some astringent flavors. Maybe that's if too much is used. I have no hops to work with right now so that will have to be bought.

I bought it off craigslist for $30. So why couldn't I use 1 lb or 2 lbs for a 5 gallon batch? Its not that I am eager to use it up. I just really like being frugal when making things. And using grain I only paid $0.54 a pound is awesome.

I just got 55 lb sack of rahr 2 row grain. And I already had 55 lb sack of special b malt. What are my options just working with those? I do all grain and a old mash tun i just created.

Made it. Tasted great. All gone now. The rice made a real mess in the bag. (BIAB)

Just kegged my all grain batch made with rice. I used 3 lbs of rice which turned to 10 lbs after cooking. 5 lbs of Marris otter. Making a 5 gallon batch. And I steeped 1 lbs of special S brown malt at the boil for 10-20 minutes. And I added about 1/4 cup of black strap molasses. I ended with...

I just kegged a 5 gallon beer that was infected, as it was sour and had white film on top. I mixed it with about one gallon of good beer and added ginger oil and peppermint extract. tastes great. Not sure what caused it but i suspect adding cane sugar to the carboy after 7 days may have some...

I had a over bitter beer last month (not infected just bitter from too much special malt) and I remedied the taste with ginger oil Much better than tossing it.

Please

I have yet to do all grain brewing. Been doing extract for 8 months. well I was hoping to use a special brown malt 100% what would you recommend, what are my options? I got 55 lbs of it (from Stone Path Malt of New England) for $30 on craigslist. according to this guy...

this was very helpful https://www.ratebeer.com/forums/mashing-in-a-cooler-leaching-plastic_60681.htm

what about plastic seeping into mash at such temperatures? I know coolers have thicker plastic inside than plastic water bottles but I am sure there must be some seepage at 150F for an hour long mash. Study Details • 16 plastic water bottles were exposed to different temperatures...

It sits on the floor of the fridge at enough of a tilt to draw air.

Jammed a computer fan into a yogurt container. The hose goes into a copper pipe for the section of the tower. See pics Cheers

So am I right that if you chill a keg and bottle from that chilled keg, those bottles have to be refrigerated?

with your method islandlizard would you still need to refrigerate the bottles? I am willing to let it force carbonate for a week at room temperature rather than have to refrigerate the bottles.
