Wow! I wasn't expecting this much input. I love this site. It's good to see all the viewpoints and different setups this particular idea works with as well. I am using a 3 vessel single tier keggle system with Jaybird false bottoms and HERMS. I think I will get myself one of those bags made for...

myndflyte, Thanks for the input!

troglodytes, Thanks for the input. Seems like a way easier cleanup. I hadn't thought about a finer grind, another advantage to this method, as well as the boost in efficiency. Do you know if you use the 200 or 400 micron bag?

Hello, I poked around a bit but couldn't find the answer to this question. Does anyone use a BIAB bag to line their mash tun for easier cleanup? If so, are there any other advantages or disadvantages to doing this? Seems so much easier to just pull out the bag of grains after the wort is pumped...

Coolitfast, That looks like an awesome product. I wish I knew of it sooner. LOL

Day Trippr, That's an awesome tip, thanks. I will do that in the future.

So, I finished cleaning in preparation of brew day tomorrow. I noticed the neck of my carboy is all marked up from the metal handle of the carboy brush. Has anyone had this happen before?Will this easily clean off or is there something special I need to do? I haven't tried anything as of yet, I...

Im looking to buy a hop spider or filter of some sort. I have a 15 gallon keggle for a boil kettle. I’d like one that I could use for brewing either a 5 or 10 gallon batch. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Entered.

Got to the bottom of the issue. It was a wiring problem. I got it all buttoned up and I’m good to go. Thanks everyone for your input.

I think I’ll check the connections to the cord this weekend. It came wired from the manufacturer, but hopefully it’s something as simple as that.

Thanks!

Yes, they were both primed. I mounted them lower than the vessels and fed them from the bottom. I dont hear a hum or anything from it. I originally thought it was a bad outlet on the control panel, but when I switched the pump plugs at the outlets, the other one still worked, and this one did not.

So, I'm in the process of building a brewig. Since I started, I've bought & sold a house and had a son & a set of twins. Needless to say, my time has been limited. I'm about 98% finished, and attempted to run it through a test run. I have 2 March 815-PL pumps. One of them does not run. I tried...

Thanks. I wired it in parallel and it worked!
