I do brew in a basket with recirc. After mashing and having collected all the wort for the batch I slowly pour a gallon of hot water from the tap over the grain in the basket. What i collect is right around 1.03 then I put it in the freezer untill I need to make a starter. I thaw it boil it and...

Red loctite will attach fairly permanently.

Even at 1.1 gpm I still get good results from whirlpool. I generally whirlpool for at least 1/2 hr and I get a cone of trub and hops in the middle of the kettle.

3/8" soft copper tubing is .311" ID. That is the size copper I used in the CFC that i made. I use 1/2" silicone tubing between pump and CFC 3.5' and 4' between CFC and whirlpool arm. The flow will be reduced by forcing it through smaller tube. My pump measured out at 1.1 gpm after 21' CFC and...

Trailer Park Boys Season 12. Brewing is the underlying story of the season. Green Bastard and Freedom 35 are the 2 beers they make and Freedom 35 is noted as being the smoothest beer ever.

He is risen, now offer him a homebrew.

Thanks i had the copper tube laying around so it only cost me $3.50 per try. My next move will be to do it in stainless.

Mine have a lot more miles on them than yours and don't look anywhere near as bad. I run PBW through them and rinse with clear water. I do not use Starsan solution on mine though.

I like Beersmith for designing recipes and storing them and as a guide while brewing. I have the phone app as well that I use while preparing ingredients for brewing and adding them at the right time (has a built in timer) while brewing. I have had it for about 2 years and it has taken me a...

Here is a picture of the evolution of my wort injector design. The one on the far left is the newest and has been consistently over 80% conversion. It has 49 holes 22-1/16" holes and 27-5/64" holes. The series of holes are placed 3/4" apart and arranged so they spray every 30 degrees, this works...

2276 I keep forgetting to let the hydrometer slide to the bottom rather than drop it in the test cylinder. Fortunately I had a spare that I replaced with the on I broke.

The setup looks very familiar to me except the regulator feeds 2 kegs in my fridge.

I can buy it from my LHBS for $1.49 per lb. I bought 55 lbs of MO on a trip to Canada and paid about $50 after exchange. What makes it expensive is that we are conditioned to overpay for its magical properties. I didn't notice brands on any other grains on their site.

Filled 10 bottles for Maine Homebrewers Competition. And bought a keg while I was at the store

I like the refractometer for checking the gravity of the wort after mashing while hot. Hydrometer is most accurate through the whole process though.

I checked my last few (all Grain)batches and they came in at around $30 and contained 6 to 8 oz of hops. When I did extract I usually spent $20 just on LME or DME. Spending less on malts allow you to spend more on other things. You may not save a lot but you can expand your horizons.

100 g Brewtan B finally arrived from Australia. I ordered it on Nov 18.

I do a secondary in a keg with corn sugar and dry hops. Then do a closed transfer to a serving keg.

I have found that prolonged soaking in PBW (24 hrs or more) caused some oxidation to form on silver solder joints.
