Still lurking about for tickets. I guess once folks get them, they never give them up?

Events / Looking for an NHC 2013 Ticket...
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:03:58 PM »
I've got mine, but a friend of mine would love to go. If you have a ticket and are willing to transfer it. We'll give you face value or work a deal...meaning naming our first born child after you. Okay that'a a bit extreme....but seriously, looking for a full pass ($200) ticket to purchase....

All Grain Brewing / Re: Keggle Mash Tun
« on: November 14, 2012, 01:23:33 PM »I believe that efficiency comes into play when you do not sparge. It serves as a rinse and really ensures you wash all of the sugars off of the grain.
So I guess that leads into my first question.

couldn’t I just put ALL the water needed into my MT keep it at 152ish THEN just raise the heat to 170 for the last 10 minutes….done?

All Grain Brewing / Keggle Mash Tun
« on: November 14, 2012, 12:59:43 PM »
So I’ve stepped up my game and I have an insulated Keggle Mash Tun utilizing a March 809 pump to recalculate the liquid.
In the past I’ve used a cooler and Batch Sparged. So with this new keggle/pump/burner set-up I have a few questions:
1. Since the MT is being recirculated continuously do I still need to do a Batch Sparge?
(The reason I’m asking this, couldn’t I just put ALL the water needed into my MT keep it at 152ish THEN just raise the heat to 170 for the last 10 minutes….done?)
2. Because I’m continuously recirculating the liquid, do I still need to do a Vorlauf?
3. Do I use a paddle to stir the Mash since I now have heat under it to keep it at a constant temperature?
My upgrade will be the Blichmann Tower of Power in a few weeks to control the burner. But for now, it's eyes on with manual adjustments.
