Hi , I am planning my first all grainbatch this weekend, and want to start with an English bitter. I have come up with the following recipe and was wondering what people thought of it. 7 lbs marris otter .5 lbs crystal 80 .5 lbs crystal 10 1 oz EKG pellets (5.4 AA) 60 min 1.5 oz...

Try this. http://www.hopdawgs.ca/index.php/ I have used Hop Dawgs a few times and have had nothing but good experiences with them.

I use a bucket that I have had since 1996. I have had one infection, which I killed with a bleach bath, but other than that no problems. Take care of it and a bucket can last a long time.

Might even be better that way. More time for a small leak to show itself.

What you can do is run a strong solution of food dyed water through your copper line, while running a slow flow of water through your outer hose. If you see any evidence of dye in the discharge from the outer hose, you have a leak.

I have heard that sleeping on a pillow filled with hops will result in pleasant dreams.

Another option would be shellac. The shellac itself is food safe (it is used to coat medicine and candy, amongst other things) and the solvent for it is alcohol, which flashes off quickly when applied.

Yes it will. The larger the difference in temperature between your cooling water and your wort, the faster the heat will transfer. This is why dropping the first 100 degrees goes so fast ( greater temp. difference) and the last 10 degrees goes so slow (lower difference in temp. ).

Montreal here.

I love the idea of using chalkboard paint. I may have to steal this.

Or when your doctor says he has some good news about your EKG and you are disappointed to find out he isn't talking about hops.

When your children are named Magnum, Amarillo and Fuggles.

Am I the only one who saw the thread title as NUDE fermentation?

I just brewed a partial mash, and was thinking the exact same thing. I have all I need to do this BIAB so no extra equipment cost.

Yes, it is. My tap water was coming out at 4.5c (about 40f).

I brewed with a graniteware pot for at least 10 years and it worked fine. I only stopped using it because I wanted to do full wort boils and got a good deal on 12 gal aluminum pot.

Did my first winter brew since making my IC a few months back, and cooled 5 gal to 68f in six minutes.

Glad I could help. Those should look very nice on your cases.

Perhaps something like this would work for you http://www.leevalley.com/en/Hardware/page.aspx?p=41838&cat=3,43520,44199&ap=1

Looks like I'll be picking up a vinator tomorrow. I apreciate the input.
