Yes please!

I've heard that you will struggle to get a boil without the full 3500w and also will take much longer to heat up. If you can't get the 15A, I would stick with the smaller 1V's (from what I understand).

Well shit, you just made my recipe a bit more interesting..

Count me.in, cheers

Like this (unfortunately not right angle)? https://www.kegland.com.au/duotight-8mm-push-in-to-5-8-to-suit-keg-couplers-and-tap-shanks.html

I think if that were the case, every man and his dog would be brewing with the lid on for the whole process and you would have SFA boil off. Theres probably a reason why >95% of homebrewers dont boil with the lid on.

Maybe, I'd be surprised if it got any lower. I'll take another reading in 4 or so days when I keg it, I just dry hopped it. Using Wyeast 1056 with temp at 18.5 to 20C

Yes, still plenty good to drink.

Not just water..

So the verdict is in, 5 days after pitching the yeast. FG reading came in at 1022, 7 points higher than BS predicted. Coming from 1060, results in a 5% ABV. Safe to assume the missing 7 points might be from unfermentable sugars from the high mash temp? Or maybe some is from error in BS calculation?

So if you were to mod the Guten by adding some sort of filter over the pickup or if you use a hop spider or bags, can the pump be used to whirlpool? Will it work for boiling wort?

Yep so as it turns out I think my two kegs are firestone. The gas post is a 9/16"-18 thread and the liquid post is a 5/8"-18 thread. A bit harder and more expensive to source than the 19/32"-18 posts that are typically listed for $3. Bit of a pain in the ass.

No unfortunately I don't have one of those. Guess it's time.. What does the iodine test do again?

After elsewhere that people generally dump their grain in during BIAB and then stir after and have no issues with dough balls, I decided to give this a crack. However I ended up with dough balls and spent a good ten minutes breaking them up. During this time, the temperature dropped a bit, so I...

Any plans on making/supplying keg posts for different threads? I just discovered my keg has a 9/16"-18 gas post thread and a 5/8"-18 liquid post thread.
