Isn't flour simply unmalted finely ground wheat?

Equip: 80 quart Concord w/ ColoBrewSys solid-sided basket; 5500 watt element. My problem: 5 gallon batches are a challenge. the bottom mesh of my basket is about 2 1/2" off the bottom of the kettle. At 18" diameter that's 1.1 gallons per inch of height. So before I even start my grain is...

That's the exact system I have. Mine came with a solid-side basket. My boil-off rate with the insulation is just shy of 2 gallons / minute. This is with a 5500 watt element running at 80% . My "dial in" brew has an OG of 1050 which is manageable. Much more grain and I could be in trouble.

What's your return look like? Mine is a length of silicone tubing held in (relative) place with a length of 10 gauge copper wire wrapped around. Respect the ghetto!

Fantastic idea. Off to amazon...

Suppose I'll need to suck it up and clean my reflectix. I have a double wrap of it and a double thick "pad" my kettle sits on. The CBS kettle is a bit janky in that you can't put a lid on during the mash. As for recirc "rate", I keep mine quite low. What's the impetus for more flow? FWIW, using...

I'm about four batches into dialing in my small BIAB system. First one I got (both from ColoBrewSys) was 160 quarts -- a bit large for 5 gallon batches. Bought a smaller 80 quart kettle with 5500 watt element. I just did my fourth batch of EdWortsHausPale -- not necessarily because I like it so...

Not sure where you're from but.. Amazon.com next day shipping? Do you have any other yeast? You could always try a wild yeast experiment. :D

I dont think three-wire 220 outlets are even code any more.

The ground doesn't come into your house from the pole, the neutral does. The ground is from, well, the ground. Typically from two places at least 6' apart. One is normally a grounding rod, the other (at least my circa 1930s home) is a #6 bare copper wire clamped to the metal water line coming...

Do NOT go with the rubber mats or tiles. Crap get's under them and just gets super nasty. As for tile, bad idea if you drive in the garage. The weight will, over time, cause the tiles to come loose from the grout. Only thing I did to make cleanup simpler was to fill joints (I had manual...

Just too old to squeeze the giant camel nuts. That's a 25 gallon pot w/ 5500 watt element. To the left is a 40 gallon pot. I heat some sparge water and do a lazy-ass pourover sparge. Seems to work for me and no heavy lifting. Actually very little lifting at all.

I plumbed a Watts auto-vent onto my Chugger but the notion of sanitation concerned me. Frankly, that's my one criticism (thus far as I've not used it) of their design -- there's simply no need for the PRV as an air-purging mechanism. Something as simple as a small 1/8" stainless hex nipple with...

In the live presentation yesterday you say "March 24th" availability -- I assume you mean May 24th. Also, I would like to see a video and/or review of it handling boiling wort. That's been the bane of my existence regarding Chuggers -- they get hot and the screeching cat comes out.

$200?!?! Holy crap I'm buying one. Or two.

Ended up replacing the portion of the cable inside of the enclosure. Soldered everything including the spade lugs. That fixed the whacked out orAL and ****y temperatures. Still having issue were OUT indicator is lit but no voltage at pins 7 and 8. Edit: OUT indicator issue fixed by paying damn...

I recently "reboxed" my element controller after after taking receipt of a new kettle. When I initially powered on the PID I got the orAL message. I powered down to measure the resistance of the RTD and found: R(1) - W 106 ohms R(2) - W 143 ohms R - R 53 ohms Measuring the XLR...

Often a lender will not approve w/o inspection.

Just fantastic. More stuff I don't need but must have.
