Brewed it today looking forward to the end result, finished at 1.072

I agree! brewing party? Ive been wanting to team up and attempt a dark lord clone

Ive never worked with warrior hops, yes 5g batch maybe ill go with .75 oz? Tweaked it on BeerSmith I like where it has me overall

I started from scratch lol

Joe from Derby, I also just discovered this part of the forum, if anyones ever looking for a brew buddy PM me

I tweaked it a bit

I was aiming for an IPA, I am just a hair over on the SRM for color on the style, beer smith also has me at 89 IBU's, I figured thats about right which is why I don't have more hop additions, I might drop the chocolate malt, aim for a higher OG, and switch to yeast 1056 or 1272

I might try making this within the next few weeks with a massive starter two vials or activator packs in 4000ml

Worked this up in BrewSmith, hows it look 11lbs maris otter pale malt 1lb cara pils/dextrine .5lb caramelt/crystal malt 80L .5lb biscuit malt .25lb chocolate malt 1.5oz warrior 60min .5oz summit 15min .25oz mt hood 0min Wyeast 1084

Finished my build today on my new MT, everything went good as planned, got all the parts at home depot, only thing I notice when done is the whole assembly spins but it passed the leak test and holds water perfectly with no leaks

I would love to hear about this build and pics, PM me?

Build a stirplate, involves basic wiring and you can do it on the cheap.

Thinking of getting my hands on some stainless steel mesh like used in strainers and making a frame with a rubber gasket around it so it can be removed if need be. Thanks for the input guys

I was thinking the other day on new ways to make manifolds and false bottoms for mash tuns and this crossed my mind. Say I have a rectangular cooler and somehow make a frame that raises and inch or so off the bottom and has a window type screen in the frame. Then around the sides of the frame...

Any sites you have seen that show the basics of it?
