Hey all excited about this. Have a couple questions though.
I notice everyone is using plastic i.e (cooler mash tuns) does anyone use anything different or find there is different flavouring when using plastic in your AG brewing? Just in everyday cooking I avoid using plastic and find everything tastes better using glass or stainless, not to mention things they say about heating plastic and it causes Cancer. Although seems everything causes that. Just a concern anyhow.
Also I'm a fan of lager beers. From the guy at the home brewers shop in my city he told me not to fool with it, too much trouble? Is it really ? I'd still like to do a few if a could I know it must take a long to ferment.
Finally when you are using a cooler mash tun. How often are you checking your temperature over the coarse of your mash? Do these coolers really hold that high temp for that long? Thanks any info would be appreciated.
