At what height should I install the thermowell? I often do 6 gallon batches. I want to make sure that the thermowell is submerged in the wort enough to get a reliable reading. Should it basically be installed at the same level as the dump valve?

much appreciated feedback! I do intend to address the lid at a future date. A thermowell has been on my mind, but not sure how long is necessary. Would a 6" suffice? I'll heed your advice regarding the dump valve and elbow. do you use a sight glass? do you just burp off the trub relatively...

I have a 14 gallon stainless fermenter that was given to me. Off brand/ DIY job. It has a funky threaded-on nut system on the bottom with a 1" ball valve dump. It doesn't work well, to say the least. I am going to have a TC ferule welded onto the bottom, with the more common butterfly valve...

As a point of reference, I do not recall this beer being over carbed at the brewery. Fingers crossed your brew is delicious!!!

Awesome work! Cali-Belgique is the beer I chose to fill a growler at Stone brewery after trying everything they had on tap. Love this beer. Wish it were more commonly found. Let us know your thoughts. What temp did you mash at? Mash out?

Isn't that hop steeping? Saw it mentioned here the other day. Let us know the outcome. What recipe? What hop(s)? Pellet or whole?

Thanks for sharing your nightmare! I had a similar experience the first time I BIAB solo. Was running around, stressed out for three hours. Turned out ok, but not great. If you haven't already, check out the BIAB section. The mash out discussion is over there. Really just depends on your...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Yoop! The original thread from the Aussies says we should mash out to convert sugars. I'm no biologist, nor a physicist. I'm in the garage making beer. I appreciate your experience and input.

Good to know regarding my dunking btw. I sincerely appreciate the info.

No worries. As any of us that have been here for even a short while would notice; some people sometimes get butt hurt over the most mundane of details in jargon. Best to tread lightly. Life is good. Beer is good. Have fun. Brew often.
