I followed this thread. The square design worked very well for me, I was able to get 86% efficiency on my first batch a couple of weeks ago, using 16# of grain with a double batch sparge. I was previously getting about 76% using a modified BIB setup that used the cooler, but the bag was the...

Congratulations on making the jump, the new career, and new equipment! :mug: I'm hoping to transition over from home to professional brewing, but it will be years down the road when I can provide most of my own financial backing. Until then I'll keep practicing. You are a true inspiration!

It sucks that it didn't work on your kitchen sink, did it come with an adapter to go from kitchen sink to garden hose? I know most brewing gear is designed to work with utility sink/garden hose thread, which are different from most normal faucet threads. Since the sprayer head is in the way...

Congratulations on the new piece of brewing equipment. I went through the same thing with mine - kept thinking I'd make one, but ended up buying one. Works amazingly, can chill beers in the summer in about 20-25 minutes. I was able to chill a recent brew in about 7 minutes (thanks to some cold...

Sorry to hear that. I agree with two_one_seven that attaching the bag to the handle of your kettle works, but also be careful about too much nylon bag hanging off of the handle near the burner (or hot electric surface). A binder clip or strong clothes pin could work to secure it to the handle or...

Pizza Plant's beer at the Buffalo Brewfest, Inferno Pod Ale, ran through a Hop Rocket filled with Simcoe, that one was good! Food is great too, even though I've only been there a couple of times.

Welcome to HBT! Hopefully sometime in the near future I'll be working on upgrading my brewing system and I'll be able to order some fittings from you.

Welcome to HBT! Glad you have had the pleasure of brewing for so long, about as long as I have been alive. I'm not try to make you feel old, I view it as quite the accomplishment and would like to congratulate you! Lot of information on here if there is anything that you would like to learn or...

Welcome to HBT!

Welcome to HBT! Looks like you've already got quite the brewing set-up going. I'm sure if you need any advice on what you would like to fine tune, there is someone here who can be of assistance (probably not me though, I'm still using an extremely basic all-grain setup). How well are those 10...

Welcome to HBT! Glad you found the site to start learning, as you said there is an incredible amount of information from the users on here. Hope you are able to start working on your first batch in the near future!

Welcome to HBT! Even though you've lurked for more than a year (much like I've been doing, despite HAVING an account) you have an account now so I'll welcome you! Keep the good brews flowing!

Sounds like a good plan to me, it is pretty much how I started - just with different kits. It may take a few batches to dial in your procedure to where you would like it - a process I'm going through again because I just moved into all-grain brewing. It is not much different, but there are...

Welcome to HBT! There is plenty of information on here, I know because I'm on here lurking and reading most of the time. Looks like you're having fun brewing, keep it up!

Welcome to HBT! There is a lot of good information around here, with a good portion in "stickied" threads at the top of each forum topic. I've learned a lot from hanging around here, so I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I have mine. Congratulations on your first batch!

Welcome and good luck! I bet you'll be preparing for brew #2 shortly (if you haven't already)! :mug:
