I just put my Best Bitter into the Pin Cask I have. Also kegged a batch of Porter.

2262. I picked up a bag of avocados, didn't realize it had a hole in the bottom, it rolled down the counter, and knocked the hydrometer and it's test tube off onto the floor. Right onto a startled, and now wet and pissed off Doberman. Who then tried to eat it.

6 Gallons of Cask Best Bitter 799.8+6 = 805.8

+6 Gallons "Random Porter" (made from a gifted bag of grains) = 643

Tapped a keg of my Bohemian Pilsner. Worked on an ESB design that I am making a cask of the Super Bowl. I'm mounting my beer engine (hand pull) on the mantel next to the TV. Because after last year, I'm not missing a minute of the Super Bowl.

So after two weeks, I finally had the stars align with live bugs, and I'm home. Kudos to MoreBeer, when FedEx "lost" my bugs and killed them, they shipped me a fresh batch the day I called to ask if they could track them down. Racked 5 gallons onto 5 pounds of Red Raspberries and pitched the...

What was the spread?

Drove to DC to pick up a very nice Keggle to upgrade my boil kettle with. I had time because FedEx hasn't delivered the box with my yeast and bugs in it for 12 days. It's been sitting in a local FedEx location since the 2nd. Yes, MoreBeer is sending me more yeast because even with ice packs...

How tall are you? I have the problem of when I put the seat ALL the way down, in my wife's 4Runner, (same size inside as a Tundra) my head hits the damn ceiling when I drive down a bumpy road. Or over Steelers fans. They don't make good roads.

I don't fit.

I have self respect.

Yeah. I have a 99 Ford pickup that may just finally need to be replaced. Body rot is going to get it before it mechanically wears out. It has a 6 speed manual. I put a clutch in it once because a valet tried to go up a parking garage in 3rd. Automatic trannies in the same model truck are...

Well, my bugs haven't arrived. They have been sitting on a FedEx Truck that hasn't moved in 3 days, and are likely frozen solid. Leaving for two weeks tomorrow, so I guess it will sit in primary for another two weeks.

It eats the gluten to a point, but I use it for cleaning up incidental contamination vs making a gluten based beer and hoping it gets it all. In other news, my batch is going to have to sit in primary for a while, because FedEx has had my Bugs (and other yeast) sitting on a truck, outside, in...

Now on a practical standpoint, a good amount of 2 row does have more diastatic power than it used to (good for mashing things that can't self convert) but it's not that 2 row and 6 row don't exist.

It sounds like he's FOS. Full Of Stuff.

You are going to slowly rinse the grains 2-5 times over the course of an hour. Water will only make one pass. It's the most efficient sparge

My recirc line is just a silicone hose. When fly sparging the flow is slow, so it doesn't channel. I take 60-90 minutes to sparge. Inflow is just enough to keep 1 inch of water on top of the grains

I've only batch sparged once with my E-HERMS system. My MLT is a Keggle like yours. I don't have the 5/8 tube. I have 3/8. To drain just run it maybe 1/3 open on the valve or less. That will reduced the flow rate. I have the "pie plate" false bottom, but I have no problems with it crushing it...
