Here is the link for the results. Congrats to all the winners!

I'll take one too, thanks!

What makes it unstable is it has no buffering ability. So even the smallest amount of base or acid will drastically swing the pH one way or the other. I think it important only if you want it accurate. If you haven't calibrated it yet then I would do so before you use it. I did mine when I first got...

Those amounts seem ok. I'm out of town until Friday but when I get back home I'll post up my additions and amounts I used in my pilsner. The main difference I do is I split the additions between my mash and BK. I don't add anything to my sparge water. I feel you can control the ppm better this way b...

I'm no expert in doing a kolsch but I've done RO water on my last 8 or 9 batches which included a pilsner. What water additions and amounts did you add? When and where did you add them? What was your mash and finished beer pH? How long was your RO water sitting around before you used it?

I'll take two as well, if its no to late. Thanks

I entered but I'm not 100% positive my entries made it.....cough, cough...Brad?

Congratulations to all that won!

Congratulations Brad Nixon.

Nice write up Dan!

Here is a pic of the manifold, let me know if you want it.

It's just 1/2 " copper with slits cut into the bottom every 1". It's square with a couple of pieces running through the middle and it's all loosely fitted, not soldered. You put it together inside the cooler and when you push it down it's held together by the inside diameter of the cooler....

I have a copper manifold for those 10 gallon coolers that you can have but if you want a false bottom then I'd go with one from Brewer's Hardware.
