Hey I have another question... I am just a little confused. I looked at the bulkhead link and the link for the manifold (false bottom). It looks like the false bottom is closed on one end and threaded on the other. But then I looked at the bulkhead picture and I am not seeing threads on the...

I homebrew with my brother and after much talking we decided to start with batch sparging. We wanted to get a rectangular Coleman cooler but we are not too sure of the size (like how many quarts). Followup question....regardless of the size of the cooler can we still use the two items that...

Hey guys, Last week my brother and I brewed a light german ale from a true-brew kit. I waited all week before I posted this just to make sure I wasn't over reacting. I have brewed before and I have personally never experienced this, so I was just looking for some advice. Look at the...
