My journey with 3068 has been slow and exasperating. I only make a couple hefes per year, so trying new things is a slow process. The two links summarize my experience. The first is quite lengthy, but only because a lot of people tried really hard to help. They are worth the read...

Thank you!

How much trub ends up in the keg? On day 2 or 3 of fermentation, I still see a lot of mixing action and I would anticipate a lot of crap in the keg if I transferred that early.

5136 + 5.5 hefewiezen = 5141.5

Yup, a home bar definitely calls for draft beer. Sorry, can't help with the actual question.

Even if you don't figure it out before he comes, don't worry. It'll come to you. We couldn't decide on a name for our third, either. We didn't name her until she was three days old. Hell, my parents changed my name when I was a month old. They swapped my first and middle names, and for some...

I foresee this turning into a "Name This Beer" thread. Dirty Harry Ale Pale Pube Ale Sorry OP.

Forgive the hijack and my ignorance, but can you explain how that works? Are you using boil off rate to calculate time?

I have the single pressure version of that Taprite, which I turned into a double. Wish I would have bought the double from the beginning because I have about $100 into mine. I've only had it for a couple years, but I like it and that's a good price. Edit for clarification: I bought the single...

I have a Thermoworks RT600C. Bought it a couple years ago based on a recommendation from one of the well known members of this site. It's quick, although not as quick as a Thermapen. They say 5 seconds, and I'll back that up. It's accurate and affordable. I paid about $25 directly from...

Very solid advice, and if a touch of lube is used on the O ring during assembly it works quite well.

"Get it? Get it? (Pokes your chest) Do you get it? See what I did there?" Sorry, I just like puns.

Northern Brewer and Ritebrew

2238 + 5.5 Irish Red = 2243.5

This is my new favorite thread.

803 + 5.5 gal Chocolate Milk Stout = 808.5

I brewed Saturday night in the garage with the door open. It was exactly 0 degrees when I got done with the boil. Normally I run a garden hose to the garage for my immersion chiller, but chickened out. Instead, I waited about 10 minutes until the kettle was cool enough to touch. Then carried the...

I am starting to record more numbers on brew days. I think it will be fun to see if reality matches prediction, and to know my simple BIAB system better, wrt grain absorbtion, efficiency, and boil off. None of it is make or break, though.

Wow, that does sound like a headache. I store everything in the basement, and schlep it all out to the detached garage to brew at night after the family goes to bed, clean it outside, and schlep it back. So I keep it simple. Buuuuuut, I have considered a mash tun. ;)

I can't help but ask, what was your BIAB setup like? How was it a pain in the ass, and harder to clean? All I have is a pot and a bag to clean. I'm curious.
