Bottling my nut brown in the morning. Helping my kid brew a porter and I'm brewing an ESB after.

I built my MLT. Brewing tomorrow!

I bought the 52 qt. K-Mart of all places had it on sale for $29. I'm going to lowes this morning to buy the parts for the guts.

70qts is huge! Would 52qt be adequate for 10 gal brews? What's the advantage of using a 70qt?

I have one on my list. After a MLT, kegging equipment and a keggerator-but it is on the list!

Yeah, I looked at the post you wrote about it with pics. Looks great! I'm going to set up something similar this weekend (MLT cooler) not ready to build a brew stand yet.

Wow! That's pretty darn good! Being as this was my first shot at AG, your experience is far greater than mine so I will follow your advice. Do you use a cooler type MLT?

Ok. I'm new at this. Why do you want to stop the enzymatic activity? Isn't 170 the temp you start getting tannins?

What's your efficiency?

I read it somewhere, maybe Palmer. The article I read said the english brewers didn't sparge but did two separate mashes and sometimes combine them, sometime make a lighter beer with the second mash.

Ha ha. My stupid IPhone autocorrected should be runnings.

That's how I took it to be done when you use the English method. My MLT and brew pot are one in the same.

Cool! That saves me 45 minutes! That's for the response.

Ok. So if I do the 2nd "mash" for 15 minutes I'll get the same result?

I did my first all grain brew using the English method. I mashed @ 153F for 60 minutes, drained the liquid off (4 gals). Added 4 for gallons of 165F water and mashed @ 160F for 60 minutes. Drained all the liquid off, combined the two rubbings and went on to boil. According to brew pal I got 78%...

Just did my 1st AG batch yesterday. Another nut brown. Reached 78% efficiency!

Do u have a recipe?

Is there a link?

Thanks! This hobby is so much fun! I'm definitely hooked.
