I'm trying to figure out a way to do indirect fire heating on a homebrew scale, mainly as a prototype for a larger system. Not able to find a ton of info on indirect heating on the probrewer side, but it seems like a really nice alternative to steam. Would be a post boil conical all-in-1 system...

Hey all - does anyone know of any table/calculator that shows how much any given malt will contribute to various ions in the finished beer? e.g. 2 row mashed in distilled water with a gravity of 1.04 will contribute 100 mg/l of chloride to the finished beer. The closest I came was Handbook of...

I submitted a ward labs reading for my water and finished beer - I'm trying to figure out what if my hardness is an issue and if what I think might be a slight metallic flavor in my beers could be coming from magnesium. Nothing wrong with the beer, but the magnesium level seemed high compared to...

Hey all, just wanted to log a ward labs for a finished mind the hop from aslin brewery in Herndon VA (a gaining-popularity juice bomb-focused brewery) for anyone who's interested. pH - 4.6 TDS - 2020 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm - 3.37 Cations/Anions, me/L - 54.7/27.4** ppm...

I was hoping to to double check my cord length before moving to a new rental property, where I may or may not have to run a very long 10gauge wire from the laundry room to the garage. I currently use 5500watt elements (only using 1 at a time right now) with a hosehead controller and 8' of 10...

I use RIMs but want to be able to easily recirculate the mash at more than 1gpm without using a ton of rice hulls. My MLT happens to have a port about 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom, which is roughly right in the middle of the grain for most brews. It's a tri clamp port - would a sock...

Recirculating in the mash with just a tube, similar to Kal's setup, I quickly get a huge divot in the grain where the recirc tube outlet is, almost all the way down to the false bottom (roughly 8 inches). Going to use a pic from Kal's setup - the divot would be in the 7pm position (at the end of...

Anyone using a netpune flow meter between their MT and BK (or HLT to MLT) ? Looking at them on ebay for around $20-$25, temperature rating seems to be 149 though based on 1 spec sheet I could find. Wondering if I can get away with it ? Primarily for measuring sparge flow rate and volumes...

I posted this on reddit/homebrewing but wanted to do a gut check. If you have the MLT and BK on one tier with a hose from the diptube>valve of the mlt to the valve>diptube of the BK (basically just a hose connecting them near the base), during first runnings/sparge can you just keep the water...
