If you would seperate the false bottom from the cooler, I'd be interested in the false bottom.

You could try putting a chiller in between the return line and the cooler. I am assuming that its taking so long because your water in the cooler is becoming to warm to do a whole lot of cooling. You could try adding some ice to the cooler also.

I would also be interested in the fermentation chamber if you split up

Ahh this whole refractometer adjustment argument makes it seem like that was the problem. I am definitely going to test the gravity tomorrow with my hydrometer. Thanks everyone

I used a calculator to determine the amount I needed for my starter, and used a stir plate to create the starter. I cooled it down correctly, my thermometer is accurate, and I use a calibrated refractometer. I keep the carboy in a closet off of my family room which is heated, so it usually...

So I brewed Biermuncher's "Helles Belles" recipe but I added a little more hops two weeks ago, and I used a starter. My OG was almost spot on at 1.042, and had a very strong fermentation for the first week. But now, in the second week it appears nothing is going on, and the gravity is only 1.02...

Would you sell the perlicks separately?

I would be interested in just the false bottom, if you would seperate.

In my opinion the biggest deciding factor is whether you are healthy otherwise the weight. Sleep apnea can put a lot pressure on your heart due to the waking up and periods of not breathing. As long as you have a pretty good heart I would think waiting to loose the weight would be a good idea...

Let me know if you change your mind about shipping the burner.

I was just going to say the same as just-a-sip

If you split up I would be interested in the sparge arm

You can use this calculator to figure out how big of a starter and how much yeast you need, http://www.brewersfriend.com/yeast-pitch-rate-and-starter-calculator/

Let me know if the deal falls through, I am interested.

I am currently converting a keg into a keggle, so the next thing I need is a propane burner. I plan on doing 5 gallon batches, but would something so I could switch to 10 gallon batches if I wanted. I am looking for a floor burner that can fit a keg. Let me know what you have, thanks.
