Just ordered the 14G bundle. Now need to get some accessories. I will probably need a cooling jacket or something in the summer. I may re-engineer my swamp cooler setup. I have not brewed a 5G batch in years. The three main reasons I pulled the trigger on this are price, size and the hop...

I just go to Kroger and buy the bulk 1 gallon jar of pickles and throw the pickles away. They are about $6.

That is exactly what I do. Boil kettle is right inside the door but the HLT is about 6 feet in. I keep the door open but I will close it for short periods of time during the winter.

I use 5 oz of cane sugar and don't have any problems. It is very carbonated but that's what I want for this style of beer. I keep enough on hand to where the oldest beer in rotation is roughly 3 months from brew day give or take. I don't really see much if any difference in cane sugar.

Take a look at these from last weekend. I had 3 bags inside each other. It doesn't seem to cause any problems. I've been doing it for a long time. https://plus.google.com/photos/112207721934137187062/albums/5941809809438328545?authkey=CKnwiq6Rxa3LmgE

Something doesn't sound right. I'm bottling this weekend. I'll get some pictures or a video of my process. Maybe I'm explaining it wrong. The only time I get any bubbles is when my hose isn't aligned on the racking cane and air gets in there.

Yep you are right. I filter from the "inlet" I guess. No issues with aeration. I never really got much hop trash when I dry hop but this keeps out most everything.

I take two paint strainer bags and put them inside each other then put my racking cane in there and put the whole thing (sanitized of course) in my carboy to rack to bottling bucket. I just dump my hops in the secondary and use this method and it works perfectly. Sometimes I use 3 bags depending...

I'm trying to put together a Coffee Chocolate Oatmeal Imperial Stout and plan to use: FRANCO-BELGES KILN COFFEE grain instead of real coffee. My recipe is going to use grain only for the flavors... Ingredient Name Amount Briess Pale Ale Malt 14 lbs, 0 oz Briess Flaked Oats 2 lbs, 0 oz...

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Can you get a closer photo of how the legs attach to the lower level? I'm going to build something like this. I think I may have something close already using an old desk and adding casters.

I add an extra pound of base malt and am doing pretty good with my BIAB + batch sparge method. I got 1.071 doing just regular BIAB then got 1.080 and 1.077 doing a sort of sparge by draining into buckets and adding more water then rinsing the bag with some more clean water. To get 1.080 I ended...

IMO I think you will be fine. Congrats on your numbers. :mug: Did you by chance boil it down a little more to get this? I am hoping to brew this in the next few weeks if my order will ever get here. I ordered my grain 11 days ago. My best is 1.076 but don't have exact volume numbers in those...
