Thanks guys I almost bought another kettle

Where can I get that stuff?

I just read all these things about never using steel wool on a stainless steel kettle so I got nervous

I used it Inside the kettle. Stainless steel kettle

I had a bad burn mark on the bottom of my kettle. Not thinking about the consequences of using steel wool I grabbed an SOS steel wool pad and scrubbed the burn mark off. Now I'm wondering if I screwed up my kettle? There isn't any visible marks though. Thanks

OK thanks. Hopefully it's not pumping my beer out now.... I guess I'd see alot of loss and the buckets would be filled with beer then

Sorry if this is a beast question but i couldn't find any answers elsewhere. This is My first time using a blow off tube setup. I have had a pretty vigorous fermentation and its just day 2. I cleaned the lines out and changed the water and starsan mixture in the buckets but now I have more...

Well I searched 3 stores and struck out on the pet food containers so I ended up with 3 five gallon buckets and one 6.5 gallon bucket with gamma lids.

Really I didn't know they sold the lids like that. Are the Orange buckets OK for grain?

Basement it is then. Stays cool yr round and the moisture scent is minimal at the most. The basement is bone dry everywhere

Watermelon83: do you use that one? How is it off you do

It's not damp in the basement but there is a slight scent of moisture. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells those gamma lids near me

What about moisture once the bags are open? I was thinking about just grabbing a couple food storage containers from a tractor supply store and using that. They claim they are air tight end they have wheels

Hio3791: I plan to brew in my basement once I finish it but as of now I brew in my kitchen still. I know most breweries store the unopened grain on racks so I always assumed that would fine for home brewers also but I've seen a lot of posts about proper containers for storing grain. I don't have...

Haven't seen any signs of mice in either

I just purchased a house and now am stuck wondering if I should store my grain in the basement where it stays around 55-60 degrees yr round or in the garage. There basement is dry but has a little moisture which I'm going to try to eliminate with a dehumidifier? Thanks

This is great to hear. So I guess that guy there was not pulling a fast one on me haha

Awesome. This is great to hear. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks. I usually don't buy stuff without knowing about it first but that's all they had. He claimed that it was just as good but also it depends on the maltster
