    15 inch false bottom STAND question

    I will add that I run a RIMS system with a bottom drain keggle mashtun recirculated with a march pump. If i were to try and make a stand I would just enlarge a few holes and run some ss machine screws through the fb to the bottom of the keg and be done

    15 inch false bottom STAND question

    I have a Jaybird false bottom in my sanke and I've filled the mashtun all the way to the top and the thing didn't cave. Just checked out beersmith for my biggest beer and was able to stuff 34 lbs of grain in the tun with no stand no problems.

    Screwys vanilla oatmeal stout.

    I usually just lightly starsan my knife, cutting board, and beans. Then split scrape and drop everything in the bottom rack on top and you're done for a bit. There is no magic time for anything beer related so after a little while start taking little samples. When it's to your liking bottle/keg.

    False Bottom!

    could get a piece of threaded rod or something similar and tie the bag around it and sit it on the kettle rim. Should be pretty cheap and available

    Best cheap commercial beer you've ever had?

    Narrowed Online Keg Sites To 3... But Who To Order From?

    I got my stuff from kegconnection and the service was good and everything came as described. Cornys are getting a little more scarce due to soda in a bag so prices and availability are going to be an issue. That being said kegconnection also sends the stuff assembled which is nice, I've never...

    Yet another False Bottom question...

    I have a JB false bottom and couldn't be happier. There's not much to them so a good fit is needed. Jaybirds fit like a glove. So if the name alone is worth money to you get the sabco

    High final gravity -- wort or yeast?

    S-05 has always worked very well for me. It routinely ferments down to the 1.010 range when I mash for it. The only strain I've had issues with is nottingham. Same wort into 2 fermenters notty recently takes forever to start and has a slight off flavor. These sachets are not it the recall group...

    Sanke Keg Tube - Good for Anything?

    I plan on using mine as the filter for a randall thats not yet built. I just got a 5 inch filter housing and I think it would work great. I like to have stainless wherever possible

    Vanilla Bean Addition Question

    I used 1 bean per 5 gallons and it was good but it did sit for close to 3 weeks. If I were to do it again I would put 2 beans in and less time. Also I split the beans scraped out the goodness than put everything into the fermenter.

    Should I buy a used Barley Crusher?

    Even my Monster Mill MM-3 sliped sometimes. It came from tightening stuff down a little too much. I'd just pick it and see what you can make of it for that price.

    Keggle Weld damaged Threads on inside

    I had some similar issues and happen to find the tap for it at ACE hardware. I was surprised but it worked. Mine was screwed up on the inside and my diptube sealed so all is good. I think that tap was right around $20

    Just kegged a Porter, can I add vanilla beans?

    I only put the beans in bourbon. The other sutff gets starsan. I've never had any issues with off flavors due to soaking in alchohol. The higher the proof the better. I'm pretty sure most of my beans have also been preservered in a small amount of bourbon

    Johnson temp controller

    google for the johnson A419 and you can find it usually around $50 without the wires. A cheapo extension cord and homebrewtalk will have it wired up cheaper than you can by at any brew shop
