In retrospect, this seems incredibly obvious.

What program did you use to make those parts lists / diagrams I've seen you drop on here? I'd like to sketch something up to work with...

Propane is the name of the game here...

Whats your LOVE of choice... and burner controller as well?

The stand is a concern, for sure. I've found 2 cheap options... above building my own, and below the cost of the blichmann or the MoreBeer stuff. Not sure on the build quality of these but they look viable... http://www.amazon.com/King-Kooker-94-90TKD-Dual-Burner/dp/B00264G584...

Aye. HLT: -Agree on all points -Thanks for the convoluted coil science truthbomb... makes complete sense. MLT: -Im a fan od the coleman cooler. I just need to solidify my drainage method (coil, manifold, or false bottom)... and then figure out how to rig a float controlled sparge arm...

As most thing, depends on ultimate cost. I'd like to have automated burner via temp switch on the HLT at a min... but I guess if you're doing that you ma as well go full bore?

Just the man I was looking for! I owe you multiple beers. Currently, I have one kettle... and the one aforementioned Coleman xTreme 70qt Cooler used as a MLT. There is no HLT in my system... all my other kettles are under 8 gallons if I recall... the large one might work for HLT needs...

I'm attempting to draw out my rig... but on my laptop without a mouse and with no programs outside of Paint... it's rough. Let me type it out and see if I can make a visual... Goal: A system to yield me 10 (possibly 20) gallons of homebrew in a timely fashion. Pumps, contained hoses, and...

Yes, time to revive 2+ year old threads! After getting alot of brews in under my belt... I've unlocked the "Brew on a piecemeal annoying rig" achievement. It's time for me to assess a full inventory of my goods, decide what is to be used, form my ideal rig... and make it happen. I'm going to...

Nice!

Looking for bottles in NJ! Let me know!!~

Looking ideally for 32oz flip tops, but normal cappers would work fine as well. Bottle trees, blichmann beer gun perhaps, and any other bottling equipment -- inquire within. Working on a large brewing project and require a bunch of bottles and gear to bottle some stuff.

6 Days in the fermenter -- Gravity readings of 1.043 down from the OG of 1.124 !! This beast is clocking in at 10.7%abv right now. Monster! I was afraid the yeast **** out -- but it looks like they did their duty well. Question -- Its got alot of the dark chocolate flavors I'm targeting, so...

Yea, I intended to hit 155 but... one broken floating therm and a digital thermometer that seemingly has a changing variable of +10-17 degrees... ended up using my tertiary backup and lost some heat in the process. Not too sad -- as I think drier may work well with this style. We'll see -...

Brewed 10g this last weekend for an upcoming wedding - hope it comes out tasty. Mashed a little lower than anticipated (151ish) due to bad thermometers... stupid technology. Added 5g of Chamomile as well at the last 2 minutes to get some more flair into this one. OG 1.052 I see there's...

Used my Barley Crusher 15 for the first time on this one, actually. It was crushed right there, and looked right (default settings). I did not measure efficiency... but clearly it sucked...

So we brewed it and shes bubbling away. Mind boggling thing happened here that either I'm not seeing the obvious, or am stupid. We mashed at 154degF for 90 minutes the malt bill (20lb of grain) using about 20qt of water. Pulled first runnings, batch sparged per usual yo get to boil volume...

Interesting question. They are into a few different brews - but the groom specifically enjoys stouts I've made it seems. Since it's a June wedding, and outdoors, we're doing 3 different brews. A APA/IPA Hop-Centric American Ale, a crispy, citrusy, mannequin-pis inspired Kolsch, and then...

I'll have to wait until primary is finished, first and foremost. If I have to hack out and extract the strawberry + chocolate, so be it. It's against my ethos, but I don't think I'll be encountering many purists at the wedding minding... That being said, I got a surprising amount of flavor...
