Thanks for your reply. The support base does not sit flush and there is about a 4" by 3" rectangle in front of the ball valve(inside) where a small dip tube could be mounted. I can take some pics and post...

Hello to whoever reads this.... I just bought the PICO Style FB for my Sanke Mash Tun. The PICO FB has a platform it rests on thats 1 1/2" to 2" off that bottom of the keg. My question is if I mount the Ball valve as low as I can, there will still be a fairly large area under the Ball valve and...

Doing 10 gallons this Saturday with Fresh Apple Cider, Brown Sugar, and Montcharet (sp?) yeast. Cant wait till xmass to put on tap!!! I have talked with some "old timers" here and they all said back in the day they would do this very recipe but add raisins. Searching this thread is close to...

Was hoping to get some feedback on how well it works and if there are American Distributors. Any feedback would be great. http://www.speidels-braumeister.de/shop_content.php/language/en/coID/37/content/Braumeister-200l

Thanks for all the suggestions....Another question...how would you describe the style in my recipe? How do you think it would turn out?

Remilard, what would you suggest to alter to bring it more in line with a Bav. Hefe?

This is my first Hefeweizen. Brewing this for our annual week at our family camp. Love Hefe's but am certainly no expert in the style. My plan is an easy drinking, thirst quenching hefe with some subtle honey mixed in with the banana/clove undertones that should develop from the strain of yeast...

Well, brewed this past saturday. Everything went extremely well. Got 74% efficiency...very happy with the system...

Brewing inside, converted basement. Thanks for the preheating tip...wouldn't of thought of that for the HLT....

We have another cooler with a valve and hose assembly which hooks up directly to our sparge arm. But you do raise a question. Do we need to keep the cooler lid on when we fly? I have built it so we can keep it closed and still monitor the level of water inside but is it necessary to keep it on...

Thanks Guys!!! I will let you know how it turns out... What a wonderful message board we have here!!!

Thanks guys...we will be doing a 10 gallon DIPA so the grain bed will be pretty high and the water level will be about to the top after mashout. I think we will have to let it drain a little before we start the sparge water. I have a cvpc manifold that has two vertical channels and 4 cross...

Hello All, I've been reading all this Batch Sparge, Fly sparge, Hybrid Sparge talk in all kinds of Homebrew Forums...and wow.... I have Batch Sparged (5 Brews) and have had decent success. Like another thread here I want to try Fly Sparging due to curiousity and see how it works. (Plus I...

Ok, really want to try this but really new to the All Grain thing. Lets see if I got it right: - Mash In -Mash Out Vorlauf, Slowly drain (1qt per minute, roughly) When grain bed has 2-3 inches of water on top, start your sparge When you get desired preboil level, stop So no draining...

Thanks for all the feedback...I think I will just buy the components and build it myself...I was hesitant due to the fact I am restoring an older home and time is not readily available...but I have the tools and knowhow so.....Thanks again for the feedback!!

Anyone have or know anyone who has this...seems like a decent product and after you add up the cost of the coolers and fittings it seems like a decent deal...I know you could purchase items and put together as a DIY project but may be better off spending a few $'s extra and have it all...

Thanks for the quick response...they seem quite clean but I'm sure there is some dirt still on them...they have been frozen for about a month or so...also, the IPA is an imperial so the alcohol will be even higher to protect them

I received homegrown Cascade hops from this past growing season. When give they were frozen in ziplock bags. I would like to "wet" hop my IPA in the secondary. The question is how/do you need to sterilize the hops before adding them to the secondary? Any feedback in procedure or wet/dry...

How did it come out????

Was hoping someone had tried a, extract version of a Black IPA. Something similiar to the Southern Tier Inequity....
