There's usually a good amount of cold break material. That plus the hops (not in a bag) can lead to a lot of stuff in the wort. I use a nylon bag for hops and also a screen on my kettle. I would definitely try to use a muslin bag or something to help reduce the trub.

Hmm, adblock has been a staple of my chrome addons. This is making me reconsider.

Did you use 1.5 lbs of wet hops (based on you saying you picked them for free)? if so, that's not so crazy. Its something like 5:1 ratio when talking wet:dry(pelletized).

You're getting the spillage from probably pouring slower due to the smaller target of the funnel. Its running back down the other side of the pot. That's why pitchers have the notched lip, it lets you pour faster while keeping the stream smaller. If you use a siphon to get it out of the...

I'm not sure why, sonofgrok, but everytime I read your posts in this thread it sounded like a cowboy in my head.

*Removes sunglasses* YEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Mississippi Mud comes in a bottle like that. The label makes it look like a moonshine jug.

As a ginger I take offense! Also, I'll take a pint!;)

Beersmith usually tells me to sparge 3 times (something like .25gal, 2.25gal, 2.25gal). Not sure why it does that tiny sparge at the beginning, but I usually just do it twice. As long as you hit your numbers, should turn out great.

Brewing this guy tomorrow, but I don't have any EKG on hand. I'll be using cascades (figured it's the closest AA% 'cuz I have summit and centennials too). Not the same, but it should still be darn good.

Thanks guys, I knew it couldn't be that simple.:)

I was contemplating chalkboard paint when I saw this thread, then immediately went to amazon and ordered dry erase markers. It seems so obvious I don't know why I hadn't thought of it. Thanks for the idea!

Just curious. If a recipe calls for a crystal 30L, and I have crystal 10L and crystal 60L, can I use a mixture of the two to get to around 30L? It makes sense in my head, but I don't know if they work that way. Thoughts?

Oh, that's neat mounting it on the bottom of the lid. Makes for easy storage.

I can't make the pick up tonight. Can anyone please hold on to one bag for me until tomorrow? -Joe

I have class on monday evening and won't be able to make it. Anyone in Lower Bucks area or north philly able to hold it until Tuesday? -Joe

I know that feel bro. Lost almost 3 gallons of a graham cracker porter to that earlier this year. Finally got it all clean:/
