Equipment and Software / Re: stainless steel tubing

1/2" S/S would be a bear to coil unless you have a tube bender. In addition, you would have better heat transfer with brass.

Equipment and Software / Ice Cube MLT conversion
« on: January 09, 2010, 03:05:47 PM »
Trying to convert a 60 Gal Ice Cube. This is the one with the drain about 1-1/2" from the bottom & at a 45Degree angle. The wheel axel connects both wheels creating a hump on the inside.
Will Denny's braid work on this? Or will there be about 2-3" of wort left in the Tun.

Other Fermentables / Re: Heat or no heat
« on: November 12, 2009, 12:50:37 PM »
NO HEAT!
Bucket, water, honey. Stir like hell. If I need to get the last bit of honey out of the container, use a sanitzed spatula. I will rinse the last bit out with some heated water, but the volume does not appreciably raise the temperature of the must.
