My bathroom that I ferment in stays around 70ish. This will make my fermentation at about 72-73. Same situation as you. I get my carboys to drop about 4-5 degrees by putting an old T-shirt over the carboy and keeping it wet by dumping a couple cups of water on it twice a day. Keeps...

I think you misread it. I use it for both filtering wort and setting the grain bed on my mash. Separate deals. I put pantyhose on my tun drain hose and it catches the first runnings grain debris at the beginning. Saves me from needing to vorlauf as no grain gets into the kettle. It is all...

Old post but here is my method. Hook a hose up to drain valve on kettle. Use a chip clip to hold pantyhose on the draining end of hose. Put a funnel in the top of carboy and set a strainer on/in funnel. Set hose end/pantyhose in strainer and open valve. Same would work with racking cane tube...
