Just used it today - awesome. Boiled 6 gallons fast and steady. Held up to wind well too.

Okay thanks guys. So I ended up with 5 gallons and an OG of 1.050. According to http://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/ I'm getting 76.92% efficiency. Sounds pretty good for my first all grain, right?

So I'm just in the first 10 minutes of my first all grain boil and I'm calculating my brewhouse efficiency. Details below: 6 lbs - English marris otter 2 lbs - flaked barley 1 lb - roasted barley Pre-boil volume: 6.25 gal Pre-boil gravity: 1.045 According to a couple web calculators...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I just got a new 10 gal mega pot 1.2 and I'm going to brew tomorrow. It sounds like there is no break in for a ss pot but I assume I need to do a quick soap wash, correct? Maybe some oxyclean?

Just in case any one is still following this for a review of the dark start burner, I just got it on Friday and I'm brewing tomorrow. It'll be a 5 gal batch in a 10 gal kettle. I'll keep you guys posted.

You're tellin' me!

Yeah...I'm thinking I'll try it on my next brew day (Monday) and if I get any leaking, i'll just pick up a new cooler. Thanks guys.

Hey guys sorry to bump this but does anyone have a success story with waterweld in a plastic MLT?

I just kegged my first lager and it's pretty good. My advice would actually be to make you give it a good d-rest. It's my understanding that certain yeast strains have a tendency to through off more diacetyl than others. My own $.2 is to watch your hydrometer samples, and don't rely on the...

Great idea. This forum is awesome. Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Cool I'll check that out - I didn't know that!

Hey guys - has anyone had any luck with waterweld inside a cooler mashtun? Anyone ruin a beer or get sick from it?

Awesome thanks! I'll check HD later today and hopefully they'll have something.

Great, thanks! Think I'll have any luck at Home Depot?

Hey everyone, I've been on this site almost everyday for a while trying to learn as much as possible and now I'm making the switch to all grain. Thanks for all your help thus far. I've got a similar question to many people on here and I hate to ask this but I seemingly obviously have a leaky...
