Thanks a lot for your help . Will get going to finish the cooler. :mug:

I have the parts for this but in 1/2". What size braid can be use with a 1/2" female barb fitting that goes inside. Can you force the barb fitting in the 1/2" x 20" hose or the diameter is too little? . Need some help please. Thanks. It just seems to me that the 3/8" barb fitting is used a lot...

Thank you guys for your help and opinions. About the manifold I have to be honest, I'm lazy and the batch sparge way seems simple enough for me however I might change my mind later and go with the manifold. Thank you

Man, I've seen one of this hoses at lowes and they look massive. Have you ever use a 1/2 inch braided hose before?. I just want to know if is not over kill to go with the 3/4 I have no experience what so ever with building a mash tun Lol. Anyway if is not big deal could you tell me the parts you...

Hi Revvy, I have a question. Will the 4 weeks primary fermentation work with dry yeast as well? or just liquid yeast? Thanks.

What about lead from tap water? Is it good to use a filter capable of removing lead as well as Chlorine/Chloramine or it depends in the amounts of lead from the water report?. I live in Indianapolis and in the water report it says we get lead. Lead: 10 ppb Copper 0.09 ppm

Thanks a lot you've been great at sharing your recipes and answering all kind of questions. BTW I'll do your English Pub Ale too; it sounds very refreshing. :tank:

This recipe sounds great. I have some questions though 1- When you make the partial boil do you use half of the LME for the boil and half LME at knockout? 2- Will chloramine used by the water service be a problem? 3- Have someone here used Safale US-05 yeast for this beer? Thanks if someone...

So do you think keggles will use or need more gas to boil wort than a stock pot?. BTW the 82qt Bayou Classic pot don't have the bottom clad sandwich that other stockpots have.
