[jlwoods99]

Where'd you get that stand or rack that everythings setting on? I could use something like that.

Sorry my chat isn't working. What did he just add to the mash?

 

[jlwoods99]

Is that tin foil your pulling off the top of your grain bed?

 

[weirdboy]

I just brought it up and thought he was just doughing in.

 

[eriktlupus]

so now to chat on the ustream i need a freaking account?/???///// wtf over

 

[weirdboy]

Yeah I'm not interested in getting an account.

 

[nostalgia]

Come into the HBT chat and I'll chat there.

The stand is from Costco.

I added rice hulls to the grist.

The tin foil is wrapped around a pink foam block to help keep the mash at a stable temperature.

Sorry Joe I'm at work and can't chat. Thanks for answering the questions. I don't belong to costco but I might see if someone can check see if its still available. Do you remember the approximate cost? How about posting your recipe your following if its not proprietary.

You sure look sexy, bro!!

[jlwoods99]

He looks pretty content with that beer in his hand so what are you drinking? You know you can talk to us, we can here you and the music.

 

[jlwoods99]

is that a march pump?

 

[nostalgia]

The rack was about $80. Yes, I'm sexy. Drinking Coney Island Lager. Yes, it's a march pump. Stupid dip tube in the HLT got stuck to the bottom of the vessel and stopped pumping.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by. It was nice to have some company for my brewday! Efficiency ended up at a paltry 57%. Blargh. Maybe I'll try a protein rest as someone suggested next time.
