    Tilting false bottom

    You could also just not care about a thin mash. I've done the exact same recipe as full volume mash BIAB and "normal" multi vessel brewing with a thicker mash and sparge, and nobody could tell any difference

    Making beer is wrecking my stove

    Is your stove perfectly clean? I had this happen when I used to put my pot over two (gas) burners and discovered that it wasn't the enamel of the stove it was an almost imperceptible layer of grime that got burnt onto the surface. Scrubbing bubbles and mr clean magic eraser are your friend...

    Fruit Beer Lemon-Lime Hefe Weizen

    thanks for the recipe. i brewed a "similar" beer using your grain/hops bill, but added about a half lb (all i could get my hands on, i'll likely use more next year) of kumquats sliced long ways instead of the juice. it's kegged and carbing up now but tastes great. i'll likely brew this again...

    FT:Chicago- 5 gal oak barrel

    I recently drove out to Sawyer, Mi and picked up a few barrels from Greenbush brewery, however I am realizing that the types of beer I brew right now does not lend itself to having a 5 gal barrel for aging. It has a wooden stopper, and still smells very much of whiskey and oak inside, although I...

    Free EMT Tubing Useful?

    You didn't say the diameter, but EMT is not made to be structural. I wouldn't build anything that you expect to hold any amount of weight (ie a full brew pot/mash tun/fermenter etc)

    "polishing your keg" is more than a clever euphemism

    Apologies for re-asking this question, but the link in the first post is down, and this thread is way too long to scan every page... I get that it's coarse/medium/fine/polish, but am wondering as to exactly which pads/polish etc. to use? thanks in advance. Edit:found it two pages back. Should...

    So I have this 15 gallon barrel...

    I have been looking at waxing this barrel and will likely do so. I have not seen any potential downsides to waxing it, do they exist? It was used to age two beers already, so I believe that almost all of the oak/spirits flavor is gone. I also do not currently have room to have 15 gal souring in...

    So I have this 15 gallon barrel...

    Used. It has very little oak or whiskey character left. Will work well for the sour, my problems are deciding on what to do before the sour enters the barrel...

    So I have this 15 gallon barrel...

    And want to brew a sour. I've been reading as much as I can, but would appreciate any/all additional guidance. I have a few commercial sours, as well as two homebrew sours that I was just given, my basic plan is to use the dregs from both of these, mixed with some roselare. What are your...
