Sorry for reviving this forum post, but I now have a spec sheet for it.

Hello. I recently got a sack of this Czech pilsen at my local home brew shop. They didn't have any info on it. I tried to track it down online, but didn't have much luck. Finally (today) I cam across one website with some info. It should be enough to add to Beersmith. But, I'd love it if...

Hello. I'm looking to get away from the glass carboys I have, and move over to fermenting in a 7 gal plastic bucket (Like Clawhammer supply does). I see lots of mod videos/instructions online for adding a grommet to the lid for a bubbler airlock. I don't have any of those anymore. I made the...

@badnewsblair - no sorry. I didn't find anything. Still using a bag

Hey Guys. Ok, crazy idea here. Someone tell me if I'm out of my mind. I'm thinking of brewing a 5 gallon all-grain batch in a 10 gallon aluminum pot, with 3 hop spiders. Reason: I'm currently using a mesh bag, and want to go to a mesh basket. The mesh BIABasket options here in Canada don't...

Wondering the same thing. did you ever try it out?

@NTBeer - yes, BIAB. And my problem is solved - I finally went out to the local wholesale store and found a sweet 10gal aluminum pot (4mm). It was $67 (no lid included). Ended up buying a stainless steel lid for it because all of the aluminum ones were scratched to high heaven. The steel lid...

First, let me apologize for ANOTHER :rolleyes: post on kettles. I just need someone to talk me off the cliff, or give me a good push. Ok, back into homebrew. All grain. Propane burner on the deck. Been doing small 2.5 gallon batches of BIAB in my steel kitchen stockpot (3.5 gallon), and...

@dtashmore547 - Wow! That is some dedication to the craft. Good job! I'm impressed. @ebbelwoi - oh cool - I'll check out the dollar store nearby. Good tip. Thanks.

@wilserbrewer - yeah, that'd be perfect if I was in my basement. I'm brewing on my deck, with nothing overhead except the sky. 😕

@Punx Clever - where did you get yours? Could you upload a photo? Just curious what it looks like. I'm also considering just putting down a wire rack across the top of the kettle. It would support the basket and still drain easily. Probably the cheapest option. And I like cheap options 👍

I'm looking to get into BIABasket vs the bag. We seem to be a little more limited up here in Canada in terms of supply. The only basket I see popping up on search results is this Basket from OntarioBeerKegs, but it doesn't come with any way to support it in when draining the wort after the...

@jimyoung - Turning it down was good advice. This was the first time out with the new stove and I was cooking like a mo-fo:rock:! Did another batch today and kept the flames under control. Worked much better. And worst case scenario, I can just drape the ends of the hoses over a nearby deck...

Good tips. Thanks everyone

@AJinJacksonville - yes, I've seen some that have the long vertical copper lines. That would be much better than the short stubby chillers. @davidabcd - I like the idea of just StarSan-ing the chiller before dropping it in. That would be ideal. But I'll always have that nagging doubt in my...

Hi All, I just got my propane burner setup, and did a small 2.5 batch in a small stockpot. The propane heat coming out from under the kettle, and up the sides, caught my hop bag string on fire. Not the end of the world, but it brought me to my real concern. I'm looking to buy a copper...

Thanks grampamark! I ended up going with #1. Target O.G. was 1.055. I hit 1.054. Very happy with the results

And just in case people have the Komo Fidibus and want to replicate: Grind 1: was dialled in past the far right LARGE black dot on the grinder, to the corner seam(of the wooden housing). Grind 2: was half way between the seam in the front right, and the rear right Grind 3: was at the rear right...

Hello. I'm just getting into all grain again. Don't have my old mill anymore. But I do have a german made mill for making bread: Komo Fidibus 21 It uses stones to grind the grains. I figured that I could just dial the coarseness way back and see how it does. I tried 4 different grinds with...

Thanks TheWall, I was thinking about a minute on the lowest setting I could. I'll just play around and see what happens :)
