I make 5 gallon batches using a 10 gallon cooler. I preheat the mash tun with 2 gallons at 180 degrees. I haven't had the temp drop more than 1 degree over a 60 minute mash.

I've never stirred, just pour it into the bottling bucket while it flows in from the fermenter. It's worked fine for me so far. You'll need to wait more than one week, I'd say 2-3 weeks before sampling.

Day 26: made it through with no beer! 4 days left

Man, this evening is going to be rough. I'm headed to my friends 4th gathering, and we usually knock quite a few back. I wish I had started this just a few days earlier!

It makes about 6.5 cups of jet black coffee concentrate. We mostly mix it with milk or almond milk and ice for a cold drink, but you can heat it and make traditional cups of coffee too. The decanter lasts us about a week, 2 adults with 1-2 drinks per day. If you do get one be sure and steep...

Who makes these drip trays with shank holes?

Day 25: picked up some brews for a cabin trip next week. Weight is down, and I'm sore from the gym. I'm looking forward to being done with this! 5 to go. Edit: anybody into coffee? We have this thing called a Toddy that makes excellent cold brewed coffee. The process takes 24 hours (basically...

Day 24: uneventful day, walk with my daughter, hit the gym, made dinner. 6 days left!

I preheat my mash tun with 2 gallons at 180 degrees. I leave it in while I hear the strike water, give it a good swirl then dump it and get started. Maybe give it a try.

Thanks!

There's the problem! Now you should be good to go.

Yeah something's not right, let Midwest know and see what they want to do about it.

The elbow should not touch the cooler, and the rim of the false bottom should sit flat on the cooler. As mentioned there should be a barb at the bulkhead.

Is it hitting the bulkhead?

Are you using a temp controller? Or relying on the thermostat in the fridge?

Day 23: my buddy is upset that I won't be drinking at his 4th of July gathering. It is only 5 days early, but I'm going to stay on track and do all 30. We can drink anytime. 7 to go!

Agreed, it's just calories in versus calories out. Are you male? 1450 seems low.

Day 21: nothing exciting today, just a peaceful Sunday. 9 to go.

Do a room temp saison, it'll be just fine.
