    Grounded Brewing Kettle sale.

    Man. Do I need... Are the ports on this in awkward positions? Where does the electric element go, on the second port? Assuming bottom is for drain.

    Fly sparge - question

    Thank you! I may try just skipping the mashout step as well. This weekend we did another batch and I tried to watch my temperatures a bit more. I made a home depot cooler tun and it does not seem to keep the temperature very well at all. Should have went with a lowes one. Or maybe coolers are...

    Fly sparge - question

    Thank you everyone. Yes it sounds like the mash out was confusing me. But I think I am starting to understand it a bit better. Instead of raising the temp to 168 I was just adding some of the sparge water (which was saying around 162 degrees) and just kind of wasting time. Sounds Like I need to...

    Fly sparge - question

    Ok so is it ok for me to add just 2-3 gallons of this to the mash tun and let it sit for 10 minutes or is that not needed? Should I just skip 10 minutes and start sparging to the kettle right away?

    Fly sparge - question

    Sorry yes. One water cooler with hot water, into the mash tun while draining into the kettle. So I THINK I am doing that part ok. What is confusing me is the 10 minute step. Is that necessary? and if so how much of the remaining water should be poured in? I did read that, but now that I have...

    Fly sparge - question

    Starting to brew more frequently now and trying to fly sparge. I know there are other ways and I plan to try them all but this is my process I have used twice. Once numbers were on, and the next they were off (I wasn't happy overall with the second recipe but thats another story). I watched...

    MASH Inside, boil outside?

    You will be fine then. It actually makes it easier to not disturb family stuff going on. Not sure what type of stove you have but I was able to heat up strike water on the stove as well. I use a propane burner outside. So while it was mashing i was heating the strike, worked out ok (first time i...

    MASH Inside, boil outside?

    That’s what I did last week but it was only a 5 gallon batch. Carrying 7.5 gallons with two people wasn’t bad but double that would be a pain.

    Conical Fermenter

    I second the SS Brew Bucket. I have a couple glass carboys and picked up one of these for the last batch we did. I do miss seeing the actual fermentation but I feel like the cleaning of this thing will be easier. It looks nicer and it fits in my fridge. I can actually get two in there with a...
