    Buying a new Kettle...Is Bigger Always Better?

    At this point, I can see doing some 10 gal batches, but they're fine in 15.5 gal kettles, right? What happened is that I saw the 82qt in a store while shopping for grill stuff and just glanced at it briefly. It was mis-tagged as a 62qt kettle for $139. A week later I decided I was going to buy...

    Buying a new Kettle...Is Bigger Always Better?

    I'm not really sure what that last sentence means:drunk:

    Buying a new Kettle...Is Bigger Always Better?

    And I've heard...'That's just too big for this application'...but we're talking bout a kettle. ha

    Buying a new Kettle...Is Bigger Always Better?

    I'm doing BIABs right now and am going to buy a new kettle. Bayou Classic 82 or 62qt, both have the inner ss baskets. Basically the same price, the 82qt actually a couple bucks less and local pickup. My hesitation is that I still am doing predominately 5 gal. batches. Is the 82 qt just too...

    Fermenter build question.

    Thanks, JWS. That's what I was thinking, but I was worried I was overlooking something obvious. I agree about the fan andalready have one set aside for just that purpose. Prost!

    Fermenter build question.

    I have a full size fridge with freezer on top that I am using now with an eBay aquarium controller and that works great but only accomodates 2 buckets or carboys at a time, which I really need to increase:mug: So, my thought is that I would remove both top and bottom doors and simply extend...

    "polishing your keg" is more than a clever euphemism

    I don't see any reason why that would be a problem. As long as there are GATORGRIT pads of the same type in that size and the grinder is rated the same-or close, I guess- RPM. My cheap HF grinder runs at 11,000 rpm and I've tried other tools that run at a lower speed, but they don't work as...

    Fermentation chamber question...

    I appreciate the suggestion. What I was thinking of doing is, maybe?, similar to what you posted. What I have been pondering, as I have started on a six of Left Hand 400lb Monkey, is, well, I personally prefer an American IPA...anyway, neither here nor coherent. Oh, yeah, there's a six of...

    Fermentation chamber question...

    So, I'm currently in the midst of my first self milled BIAB brew day and as I sit here looking over the board and soakin' up the great fragrances in the air, I was thinking about increasing the size of my ferm. chamber fridge. It's a 18 cu. ft freezer on top model that is good for 2 buckets or...

    My first try at a recipe...APA...will it work?

    this is what I am looking at- not sure what I'm doing wrong- although it seems the default aa% for the hops are higher... Original Gravity 1.067 / 16.4° Plato (1.060 to 1.070) Final Gravity 1.018 / 4.6° Plato (1.016 to 1.020) Color 0° SRM / 0.0° EBC measured (6° SRM estimated)...

    My first try at a recipe...APA...will it work?

    I'm good with an IPA vs the APA;^) I adjusted the 15 minute adds to 10 and dropped the 60 minute adds to .5 and it produced a projected 57 IBU, which I'm fine with if accurate. This will be the first time I've done all grain-albeit BIAB, milled my own 2row Vienna and Crystal and made up a...

    My first try at a recipe...APA...will it work?

    So, for several different reasons, had to postpone this from last week till this weekend. I've adapted the recipe per suggestions in this thread and I think it looks good. My concern is that I popped it into Hopville calculator and the IBUs come out to 96... Is that gonna be too high? I...

    My Ugly Junk- Corona Mill Station...

    To be safe, I would put a nut on the bolt you attach and have it set the depth. I did mine last week and it was very smooth- first bolt I found in my cluttered stash fit perfect and had a nut on it already. Pics of the setup in my gallery.

    How can I tell if my hops are still usable?

    In a couple weeks, I'll take a HD spectographic photo of a belch produced by the brew it's a part of.
