    Hot Rod Heatstick

    It is a great product, I have one and love it. You can get an optional clamp that attaches to the rim of the kettle, so you don't need to drill if you don't want to. Just ask bobby at brewhardware

    Grainfather Kickstarter

    I got a 1,500 watt hotrod from https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hotrod.htm, I'll post a video soon. but it is absolutely awesome. bobby rocks, it is a great product, and it doubles the power of the GF. I use it for heating the water up to mash temp in the GF, then while it is mashing to...

    great idea old goat - I've been looking for a way to allow a little more heat retention during boil, while allowing enough venting of the DMS. what about something like this? a little more heat retention, would this provide enough venting...

    good point, never thought of that. I'm at close to 800' elevation - so boiling would only be roughly 210.58 - never thought of that

    there is a switch to toggle it between 1600 and 600. the 1600 is to ramp up to mash an boil, the 600 is to maintain mash, so there is less switching on and off and less temp fluctuation. you can't turn both on at once.

    Supplemental heating element you can recommend?

    funny you said that, I actually live relatively close to their new retail store, and have stopped by there to pick up a bunch of stuff and to meet Bobby. He is super nice and helpful, and actually showed me the parts for the HotRod. I sent him an email over the weekend, requesting a possible...

    Grainfather Kickstarter

    I watched your video, very well done, great review. Quick question re: the boil - what about finding (or building) another similar size lid, and just put a little bigger hole in the middle? Kind of like a donut shaped lid? help retain a little more of the heat, but still leave a bunch of area...

    0 minute hop add

    I have found that Onkel Udo's is usually right, so I would go with him. I probably don't do it right, but I generally throw all of it into the primary, trub, late hops and all. not a big statistical study, but I go along these lines...

    Proper speed for wort chiller?

    I used a snow bath in the sink all winter to chill wort, and then ice. I just started using a cooper immersion wort chiller. I have cold unlimited well water. Should I run it at as high a pressure I can, to push as much cold water through it as I can, or should I run it slower to give the cold...
