AZ_IPA Yep - ordered from McMaster Carr - Stainless Steel. This is my second design that i got from another member on this site. 16" SS braid and compression spring inside to keep from collapsing. No need to punch holes in it... My first design was 12" SS braid from Home Depot that i had to...

shecky - Pumpkin huh? I'd love to make that but i've heard nightmares with using pumpkin... How do u plan on using it? In what form?

Thanks tdavisii - Just trying to see where i may be going wrong here.. Do you mash out at 170? Do you use rice hulls when using lots of adjuncts?

Thanks shecky - I've heard that rice hulls should be used when using lots of adjuncts.. What ratio do you use?

10 gallon Gott MLT with SS 16" braid. OK - 4 batches in to my AG brewing. 3 troublesome runoffs.. Not sure if its just my lack of experience, my technique or my milling... Using MaltMill set at .045. English style bitter - no issues with runoff Cream ale - nightmare runoff Wit - bad...

BrewUnited - typical Ale Temps....about 65-70. Teletrout - perhaps i'll try this yeast next time...

cool! Thanks Mysterio. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks Mysterio - Can i get the same effect by simply swirling the closed carboy?

Pretty high gravity Wit made with 4 lbs of flaked wheat and 4 lbs of pale. Around .51 OG. Used White Labs Wit yeast...cant remember the strain. Before pitching i swirled the wort in the carboy until it was nice and foamy - swirled for prob a few minutes. Pitched a bit warm...it was a hot...

Kayabrew - Thanks for your condolences. I have to tell u - I ordered the compression spring and SS braid from McMaster-Carr on Sunday. Had it by Monday - no extra charge. They messengered it to me! After assembling the new 2ft SS braid with the 22" spring in side i'm thinking this is...

Martymoat - I'll check that out..after i finish my 55lb bag of MO ;) Agree spanishcastle - nice touch

How did u connect that to your bulkhead?? Did u just drill it full of 1/8" holes?

In all honesty..the collapse of the mesh was totally my fault. I prob whacked it with the mash paddle (first time using my new 3' self made oak paddle). I could probably never run into this issue again but after last weekend, i never want to experience that aggravation again. (See my other...

menschmaschine - Yep - I'm ordering a few specialty grains in smaller amounts. The MO i ordered in bulk as my "base" cd2448: I just purchased the Schmidling "Malt Mill". I'm buying in bulk uncrushed - then storing in one of those big Rubbermaid storage containers in a dark corner of my...

I have a 10 gallon cooler that i have converted via FlyGuys's article. I am about to tweak it by inserting a compression spring to keep it from collapsing via the article by nostalgia. Do you guys just allow it to lay in a relatively straight line on the floor of your MLT or do you guys make a...

thelorax121: Great Tip! I actually ordered a 22" compression spring from McCaster_Carr.

Yep - very subjective i suppose. Can't think of a better way to learn than to make beer that has both! Thank you

Thank u Samc. What Maltster is GW? Woul di notice a difference if i were to substitute MO for Belgian? Still a noob so pls excuse the questions.

Good morning. Ok - going all-in. Placing first bulk grain order. Sick of paying high prices at my local HBS store for 1lb here...2 lbs there. I really want to buy the 55lb bag of Marris Otter. Figured i'd get alot of use from this. Two of my immediate recipes (Wit and an Oatmeal...

ok -i dumped a batch! And i'm feeling much remorse.. Tried my hand at a Wit yesterday.. Thought i had made "Mash Mud". Tried everything to free it to no avail. I even tried manually sparging with strainer...yea..alot of fun. It's 4:30 at this point and my 2 year old is up from nap and my...
