I used to brew in a keg system, and could only boil at just over a gentle boil in any weather cooler than a hot summer day. Never an issue, usually boiled off a half gallon..... Been using my foundry and I can easily get a gallon an hour, but have been turning it down just a bit to keep just...

No, you won't be passing on a virus. Heck after capping, wipe them down if you really think it is necessary.

Oh, sure, it isnt just water, but it is distant enough not to be causing very much if any reactions to the malt. It is trapped between two metal pipes with no direct contact with the malt. And it is one reason in my opinion that the guys that have gone to a bag have slightly better yield. I...

I'm not trying to disparage your work, it is interesting, and as a chemical engineer, it tweaks my interest, but I'll throw some cold water on everyone. How many of you have a true certified calibrated temperature probe? 5%? 10% and how many of those were actually calibrated in the past...

The point about the malt pipe is correct, but actually I would say is somewhat irrelevant and the water there is actually mainly just water. I've been brewing with my new anvil for only a short time, but immediately found that doing a brew with the suggested entirety of the preboil liquid, you...

add the last 5 from yesterday, a light bitter. 9061

Ha, wife wanted to make banana pudding, needed box of vanilla wafers. Shelf at local Walmart was empty. 3 boxes of mini wafers was the only thing in stock, including cheap walmart brand... . Other random stuff is hard to find. Changes every week. Dog food even. Ain't nothing fishy...

From 10 years ago? I note that only one post of how it worked out and that was that it leaked, uh, condensed all over the place. I f you build one of these, it must be as small as possible, and have the highest cfm fan you can get with practically no line distance. or it will just be a...

Nothing is gonna be cheap, but I'd probably do what I do for my laser, get a blower and put it outside and pull air out, not try and push it out. First, leaks, second if blower dies, any can replace, if integral to the hood, you have to go back with same thing. I'd price through local...

Yep, but I'd rather they just come over here.. otherwise, it would be 2 hours longer to just do the brew... plus tear down and load and then onload.... lot of extra work.... but, that is one reason. But it is only two minutes to change plug from the 240 to a 120 and back..... I'd not waste...

pasteurization or even boiling ain't gonna change any off taste. if you can change them

Other than the novelty, if you have 240 volt circuit available, there is zero reason to want to use 120v. If you want to lower the boil, just turn down power...... and there could be no reason to heat slow.....just a waste if time.

Grill..... Or heck, 3 pound prime rib out of the oven.... Our little local meat shop has the best rub I've found.... pepper, brown sugar, salt and other herbs I can't easily decoder.

Got it and it works great. Thanks

BLC, beer line cleaner used for cleaning lines and soaking metal components.. I've an old bottle I use. Potassium Hydroxide. no idea of strength, but this uses 2/5 ounce per quart warm to hot and run through lines 10 to 16 minutes to remove beer stone. soak instructions for metal were...

Wow, that would be so good... Count me in.

Cleanest TASTING? what does that have to do with clear beer? It is interesting discussion. I brewed in the past with a 3 vessel system. Heated mash directly to raise temp, and used both whole hops (my actual preferred hops) and pellets. I drained and pumped into kettle through a brass...

No issue. The reason, at least the main reason that most of these containers are not marked food grade, is COST. it costs thousands in fees to get the materials approved and each container gas to be marked also. NSF is main approver and is a real rippoff organization. I know, I dealt with...

Would love a coupon code.

White magic eraser. Zero reason fill fermenter with 7 gallons of hot water unless you are just lazy. It still takes some scrubbing even with a sponge. Make up a gallon and use some elbow grease.
