I like the straps on mine for hooking to the pulley.

Straps look nice and make good pictures, but I find a drawstring with cord lock more useful. It secures the bag nicely over the kettle rim, AND can be attached to a pulley
Jmbo
Just my biased opinion lol

[Parkinson1963]

I made it for friend he has a short wide pot. Hence the strange dimensions.

PSST, it works better if the grains are in the water and not just steamed on top......

Brewing a NEIPA.

 

[Gravelscratcher]

Looks like I hit my OG...or at least close enough.
Drank the hydrometer flask...tastes of strong Citra and very sweet.
Should be a nice little NEIPA when finished.

No worries, they all look like gp's when laid out...I was just kidding around.

According to the ash catcher on that kettle, you have a classic. Careful using that brush to clean the grate. There’ve been reports on metal threads coming off ending up in food.

something about this creeps me out.

My new squeeze method, using an oven grate on the bottom and the lid on the top

That there classic has seen a lot of smoke. I wish everything i bought lasted that long. I think I had it 20 years before I learned to actually barbecue in it. That was maybe 10 years ago.

Brewed a Hazy Pale, w/ Ekuanot.
Boiled 30 m's, because it was a hot day, & I was losing volume.
Gravity came in at 1.055 ish, w/ 5.5 gallons in the fermenter.
Recipe gravity was 1.047.
No sparge, single crush...pretty happy with that.

 

[bracconiere]

isn't the flame supposed to be blue? don't you get a lot of soot with that?

 

[Gravelscratcher]

Yes..need a new burner.

 

[bracconiere]

doesn't it have a air adjustment on it? think it just looks like it needs more oxygen....

edit: i used to think jet engines sounded cool, then i found out it's a balancing act with flow/air ratio to get the most heat....before i just left my air thingy(SP?) wide open and cranked the flow up all the way, looks like your having the opposite problem...i learned those little twisty air things are adjustable for a reason....

 

[Gravelscratcher]

Mine is corroded. I think you're talking about where the hose goes into burner...correct?
Mines rusted closed, if it was ever operable...assuming we're talking about the same thing.
Got a lot of years out of that cheap burner, but its making my stainless brew pot ugly...and that pot ain't cheap.

aren't there solvents that clean up rust...one screw and some cleaner sounds cheaper then $100 for a new one, but i couldn't figure out how to stretch an o-ring, so now i have to spend $20 on a new bucket...

and yes you're right, the spinniny thing that lets more or less air into the flow of propane....i'd personally take the screw out, and try and clean it some how if it doersn't turn anymore...
