I have a blichman hop blocker for sale. Works well to keep pickup tube from clogging however it gets in the way with my new IC. They are $60 online plus shipping and tax. I will sell it for $40 and I'll pay for shipping anywhere in the US. Let me know

Plate chiller is sold. Thanks for all the emails/interest... Happy brewing everyone

thanks for the excellent post! i definitely will take note of a few things that i want to employ on the next recipe. for example i wonder if it would work to make a hop tea steeped at 170 and add it while you quickly chill your beer... this way you get the cold chill and the oils from the hops...

@tootal... I always mash at 1hr too... I guess 30 minutes was default setting on that app... Good catch

I should mention, if your target mash temp is higher then your strike water temp will change. Yopper is right, though the additional temp needed to heat your mash tun will be something you will have to figure out through trials and experience with your equipment.

This is what I got from brew pal for temps and amounts...

Ok so how many lbs of grain are you planning to use in your next recipe? And what style beer is it? I cannot verify whether or not 1.25 ratio is good or bad, I just know I always did 1.5... Maybe someone else that knows will answer that for you...

What is your grain bill? And do you want to use a 1.25 ratio qts/gal for a specific reason? I saw you mentioned a 1.25 ratio previously...

Thanks yopper! That explains why I suggested mashing out, I fly sparge so I guess I assumed it was necessary for batch sparring as well

Also I've never batch sparged so my knowledge on that is limited

Could be a valid point, but I read in a couple books before to mash out. I never questioned it, just what I do. Also, I'm not sure your reasoning of everything will be halted when you boil anyways is reason enough to venture away from mashing out. That to me is like saying don't wash your kettle...

Of course, for 150 total that includes shipping and handling

Just saw some recent comments... It depends on your equipment a bit as well. Practice makes perfect. But just to reiterate, I posted a picture of my setup, my mash tun is on the right, during my most recent brew, I heated my strike water to 163 directly in my mash tun and once I added the 20 lbs...

A couple notes to your steps and comments that I saw others talk about... First, your strike water needs to be more than 2 degrees higher than your target mash temp. I do ten gallon batches and I had my strike at 163 for a 152 mash temp with 20 lbs of grain. I use brewpal app and it tells me...
