the OP bought the bags 'o random grain from me

They are mine. Err... were mine. They were bought from a previous brewer, and I brewed a few recipes off the bags and here is what I did. general recommendations: Weigh the bag, make sure you are using approximately the right weight of grain for that 19L batch. This will control your OG. Have a...

you still have the 30 min cart life limit. so you need to put your list into the cart, and check out before 30 min elapses.

you can put things on your wish list, and then when you are ready to make the big order, move things from the wishlist, to your cart and check out.

just finished a mystery wheat. Whats a mystery wheat you ask? When I bought my home, i made a deal with the previous owner to buy all the brewery equipment, kegs, bottles grains, hops freezers etc as-is, basically a walk-in walk-out home brewery deal. In the freezer was 5 bags of milled grain...

whats the outlook for their electric brewing equipment, like the brewcommander and boilcoils ?

gotta be careful with buckets. The non-food grade ones often use mold release agents that are not fit for human consumption.

depending on your situation (fermenter type, volume, air movement etc..), the actual inside the fermenter temp will be 2-4 degrees warmer than ambient. So you really are on the higher edge of desirable for most ale strains.

Another vote for too much heat for the length of rod you've got there. Measure the rod, and calculate the watts per sq-cm, and compare that to the element linked in grmblz post. I think you are going to find its quite a bit higher. I do BIAB with a 5500 Watt element ULWD, and the nylon bag...

i am not an industry person. Was just trying to point out how hard it is to truly get local made products. Might have taken it a bit too extreme trying to make the example.

With raw materials, part, tools, and many other things made all over the world, its very hard to get fully local made goods. Does the steel have to be local, how about the ore, and trace elements for alloying? Does the water jet used to cut the steel sheet? The roll forms? How about the welding...

there is also a temperature function that if you are storing non-cooled you need to keep in mind. As the temp inside the keg changes the amount of gas in solution vs the air space above the beer. So if you store it warm, give it a few days once you chill it back down so you get the right level...
