I would go much thinner, then draw half off, heat and return.

I already have a captcha setup. I just enabled and tested the Recaptcha v2, but it wasn't working correctly. I'll try it again when I have more time to debug it.

I really don't get the point of their posts like that.

I kill them when I see them. I usually check at least once a day.

Wow, 2.5 gallons seems like a LOT of dead space (for a 5 g batch). Unfortunately, I know very little about these single kettle systems. You definitely want your grains to be fully soaking during the mash, but just as concerning to me is that all the dead space liquid could be thinning the mash so ...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but I think Meutia is just here to get his RO signature URL on forum pages. He posted from Jakarta, so I'm thinking he won't be making it to the meeting. I've removed his signature and we'll see if he comes back for any more interactions.

Bumping this as I'm back on the hunt for a kegerator.

Our club typically meets every month at local breweries around Orange County. Even months are general club meetings with style presentations, general club business, and sampling of homebrew. Odd months are more informal get-togethers. All meetings are open to the public. Watch this forum for ...

Calvin, did you ask Ian at Riip to participate in the talk about hops? He'd be a great resource and he does love talking about them!

I was at Riip during the announcements. Riip scored a gold and two silvers.

Do you know that they're working and not leaking (e.g. bad diaphragms)?
