You can use gelatin In your secondary to clarify your beer. I started filtering a few batches ago. I really like the result but it does require more time.

That's cool. When I brew Barley Wine I do extract.

That's very cool..I'd love to see pics of your setup all set up.

No easy way. It needs to come appart to be cleaned.

Is that all one batch? 17.5 gallons?

I always do two ten gallon batches when I brew. From the time I walk out to the garage to start setting up to the time I pull the last vehicle back in and close the door is between 8-9 hours. I've never gone over 9 hours.

I use a water heater blanket to wrap mine. Works great.

I just adjust the flame so that it doesn't boil over. Only had one boil over and that was on a barleywine.

I do 12 gallon pre boil in a 15.5 keggle. Works great. There have been time I wished my mash tun was a little bigger.

That's out of the tap.

With pellets, even the nylon bags let some of the fine particles out. That's why I went to whole hops. The whole hops as they settle on the bottom help to filter trub.

This site rocks. So many so willing to help.:rockin:

here's a pic.

I use these in both my mash tun and boil keggles. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4468

Again, thanks for all your help.

I don't usually make lighter beers. Pale Ales and IPAs. This time of year I brew an old style dark beer. My pH is 8.0 - 8.4.

Maybe easy wasn't the right word. I should have used simple.

Wow, more controversy. I just want it to be as easy as possible. I don't want to have to take chem 101 to balance my water. I've been brewing for a long time and make very good beer. After spending some time here I thought that I could make some improvements. But i don't want to spend allot...

Thanks. That's more than I bargained for.

I have been doing a lot of research lately and mash efficiency and water condition seem to be very closely related. I can do the tests to check PH but what is very one using to adjust PH. I need to lower mine.
