That is a very fair point.... Hadn't considered the additional cost of the valves and connectors.

Yea.... Other than being a true conical, though, the only difference seems to be the legs. Not sure that alone is worth the extra $100 if the milk can will work just as well. It sure is tempting, though.....

Yea.... It's not a true conical though. I guess my question was if people thought it would work well as a conical since it doesn't really have continuously sloping sides.

So originally I was thinking of converting a keg into a conical(ish) fermenter. But due to the non-steepness of the natural curvature and how difficult it would be to seal it, I started looking for alternate stainless steel containers. A few days ago, I stumbled across this:8 gallon stainless...

Now that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I can just run a regular sparge onto a bunch of cooked corn. After I rack off of the pulp, I will put it into a pillow case to wring all the last good stuff from it.

Yea, that is what I understand, but this also leaves the potential to scorch the mash while you are distilling it. A lot of people are running a sparge on it to prevent this.

Ttwo reasons: 1. I will already be at the capacity of my mash tun. Every bit of rice ull that goes in means something else has to come out. 2. It is one more thing to buy that adds nothing to the end product.

Yea, I know rice hulls will help, I was just hoping to avoid rice hulls all together anyhow much cracked corn I could put in before needing rice hulls.

So, I am planning on doing a corn/barley mash on my mash/lauter tun. The plan is to try and make a Bourbon from it eventually. I know Bourbon needs to be at least 51% corn, so it would be nice to get to at least that level, however, I have never used this much corn in a recipe before. What...

Yea... Not only am making a ton of beer, but I just started distilling (for fuel, of course). Making a 10 gallon wash takes a lot of grain. I will probably be ready for a new buy soon!

Thanks again for everyone helping to make this another successful group buy, and a big thanks to Dahoov for taking delivery! Lets help him out and get it out of his garage asap!

Emailed to me by Jason: Wayne, my dad, and owner of the malt company was in a bad accident on Saturday. He is in bad shape at ICU in Denver. This is slowing us down big time...how's your schedule look. When are u guys needing the grain by? We don't to inconvenience you all Originally...

I have already given the totals to Jason, but can see if he can add some more. PM me what you need and I will shoot Jason an email.

Sorry for the lull in communication. I just got off my 16 day kayak trip down the Grand Canyon. Great time, but back to business! Jason has the order totals, and is ready to deliver. I will be checking off everyone who has paid and arranging the delivery (probably for late this week, Dahoov's...

Yes, I will be sending out all that information via email after the order is all set up on Monday.

Yes, if we do not have 500 lbs minimum, we cannot order it. I forgot to check for that, thanks for the reminder! So, unless someone wants to order a lot more of it, people should probably take that out of their orders and adjust accordingly.

So, Jason says that they need a 2-3 week lead time for orders. We were aiming for a mid June delivery, so we are officially putting a deadline on this. Everyone has through 5:00 pm on Memorial Day (Monday the 28th) to make or change their orders. After that, I will submit the order with Jason...

Well, that is entirely up to Dahoov. Your best bet would be to PM him and ask if he minds keeping it around for 3 or 4 weeks. Payment by PayPal or check should be fine. I still have yet to work out the fine details on the best way to do that. Marris Otter is made by a separate maltster. We...

Both good points, thanks! will set a deadline on this eventually, but am waiting to ear back from Jason on how much lead time he needs on the order.
