Ok, what you are witnessing is a Venturi rig... The wort is actually being PULLED into the carboy by vacuum and the cooling water is supplying the force to 'suck' the wort into the carboy. Do a search on "Wort Wizard" or "Venturi" and I'm sure you'll be happily rewarded! :drunk:

I luv ya WM, however, I think I need to bring something up to you that will make you a more 'read' poster... Please avoid the "Block O'Text" syndrome and break up your thoughts in 'logical breaks'. I have passed over threads of yours that I really wanted to read that I simply could...

I actually bought mine at Wild Weeds about six months ago. I still have some left over from my last Gruit batch...looks like I better hang on to it. :D Next question, have you ever made Gruit before and are you sure you still want to make it? Mine's not great, but I'm aging it...

Heh, 'hard cheese'... Sounds like an ex-forum-member... :drunk:

"It can be none more black" :p

I guess I'd rather taste the hops than smell them as well as keep the IBU's up. If it's smell you're after, I'd go out and get another ounce, probably two and dry hop. :cross: The REAL problem is that we're trying to put a full size sheet on a queen size bed! :drunk:

I use the Siphon Sprayer and it works for me. Here's a shot of it in action: Lots'o'foam! :mug:

I like my IPA's around 60-65 IBU's, so I'd change the hop additions as below: 2oz Centennial @ 60mins 1oz Cascade @ 60mins 2oz Cascade @ 30mins 1oz Cascade @ 5mins This will give you more bitterness, flavor, and the aroma is negligible with the same amount of hops. Just my...

I totally agree on the sound... I even started a thread about 'modding' the sounds of fermentation: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=49464 :cross:

That's obviously not a "Mc" Nugget... ....there's FAR too much chicken in that! :cross:

I brewed a Gruit in October and used Mugwort, Marsh Rosemary, Yarrow, and Sweet Gale and it's the most interesting combination or herbs. It feels like you're drinking some ole time 'elixer' or something good for you. One thing I didn't expect was a slight mint flavor. I sampled it a couple of...

Yeah, my wife says that I turn into my evil twin when I have my goatee (ala Star Trek) and well...I kinda do! :drunk: I grow it out when I want to mess with her or she's pissing me off! :cross:

I've noticed no difference between the two. I use Rahr for the base malt in all the recipes that have plenty of specialty malt and Marris Otter or Pale Ale when there isn't alot of specialty matls added. I find the results quite good, if I do say so myself... :cross:

By hand with a mill? Easy. Try doing it with a rolling pin... :drunk:

Oy! And cheers on the snags! ;)

Betta than a Vegamite sandwich? Oy! ;)

I knew you'd do it! 'Gratz! :D

Yep. It's on.

Oh wow, I missed that...and all this time... Still, they did the work of taking up the whole 'legal' keg heat for you. Worth the money! ;)

Wear waterproof shoes/boots... :D
