damn 1* nice

What temp and time decrease do most brewers experience while using a cooler setup for mashing? Is it really consistent over enough time?

Thanks! Pjoyce. I understand

I think i might be a little overwhelmed that i started to feel a little insecure about the difference. Steeping is generally specialty grains in muslin bag for time/temp Mashing is (specific grains)(that can't be easily converted to simple sugars) either all in with false bottom or a...

:off:A little off topic, but does it matter if theirs splashing from mash to BK? I see these setup's where someone has their mash elevated with a valve stem with no hose or pipe just aimed over the BK. You guys are great thanks!

So it's more complicated than just false bottom and time and temp? LOL!:drunk:

I know, i know. I've searched the forums and found these threads explaining the differences. My question is. If a recipe calls for steeping can you mash instead? Isn't the difference of the 2 is converting grain into simple sugars? Would this alter the main taste, so steeping vs mash is...

Great idea.

Expensive step:mug: False bottoms aren't cheap.

I'm a little confused why some setups have a pot for steeping grains, then move that to another pot for starting wort. The first pot has a false bottom because they dump the grains directly in? vs using a muslin bag? I guess since i'm watching most noob setups, they do all of the above in one pot.

Very nice!:ban:

Awesome thanks! I figured. I have a propane burner for outdoors that will solve that. LOL Thanks Again!

If a recipe is for 5 gallons. Is their a particular reason why the instructions may only say to boil example 2-3 gal vs the whole 5? Is that because most people wouldn't be able to cook 5 gallons on a stove top? I ask because i saw a comment saying if you can boil more do so. Thanks...
