D, I don't really have a spot for a gallon of star-san. I don't like to guess about my solutions. So, I dump them and make new ones. Besides Beer, my favorite beverage is green tea. I store my Star San in five Arizona Green Tea Jugs:  (eech, not the Diet, tho!) It is a 5,  Which means that it is Polypropylene. Which means that it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids. Star San lasts too long and is too pricey for me to even think about dumping it until it is spent!

cool I see you did decide to do a start to finish videos on an all grain brew... this will help allot of new brewer that want to get into all grain brewing. I like the hop grenade T-shirt I was thinking about doing my first all grain since I have made my MLT 10gal version. I have a recipe in mind for a first all grain brew. Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale - All Grain Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: Nottingham Yeast Starter: Nope Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: Nope Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5 Original Gravity: 1.051 Final Gravity: 1.011 IBU: 39 Boiling Time (Minutes): 60 Color: 5 SRM Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 10 Days at 68 degrees Grain Bill 8 lbs. 2-Row Pale Malt 2 lbs. Vienna Malt 0.5 lb. Crystal 10L Malt Mash Single Infusion mash for 60 minutes at 152 degrees. I batch sparge in a 10 gallon water cooler with a stainless braid manifold. After 60 minutes, add 5 quarts of 175 degree water and begin vorlauf. My system only takes about 2 quarts before it clears up, then it's wide open to drain in the kettle. Have another 3.25 gallons of 175 degree water ready for the next batch sparge. You should then get 6.5 gallons to your kettle for the boil. Note: this is not my recipe this is just the recipe and instructions that I am going to use for my first all grain brew.

The Lowe's cooler was modified. There are many tutorials out there for that mod. I think ResQ actually has his instructional video on his mash tun post. The vorlauf (drawing off that first wort) is put back into the mash. Thaty's only to ensure that we have runnings that are free of husks, etc. When you first start "running" the grain bed compacts into its own filter. Once you get to the point of no husks in your runnings, you can let it run into the boil kettle. I cut that part out of the video cause my daughter had come out being loud and I was telling her to go inside. I didn't need that in the video. For the Strike water, yes it is already in the mash tun. FOR MY SYSTEM (everyone needs to figure out what works for them), if I put some boiling water in the tun first AND THEN DUMP IT (I didn't film that part either), I can heat my strke water to about 11° higher than I want my mash. So: I boil about 3 quarts of water, put it in the tun, dump the water out of the tun before adding strike water. Heat strike water up to 11° higher than my mash temp, dump THAT water into the tun, dough in, stir well, and take the temp. This works well for my setup.

forgot to tell ya, I think i am going to just add the dry hop at 0 - 5 minutes on my next batch, and just nix the dry hop. You will get an entirely different profile if you do this. I mean not even similar. Yeah, I would keep the true dry hop. Aroma on the M N J is awesome! Would not want to lose that.

Great videos! Thank you for the work you put into educating the forum (me).
I'm up to the beer's a day old in the fermentor. It's good to see how relativley simple it is. My mind was spinning because I have been reading so much about PH, protein rests, what this temp mash does vs that, different ways of sparging... I am glad to see that can mash without babysitting the mash temperature to hold it dead on. Puting it into the cooler and setting a timer is pretty simple.
BNB: You've gotta get some XM/Sirius in your garage for brew day. Those commercials on the radio are annoying. Well, I'm glad I can help someone. If I can't share the knowledge I've gained from this and other sites, what good is it? AG is a fairly simple process. I'm starting to REALLY study my water now as this can make an even greater impact in quality. I've learned that my amber to darker beers are outstanding but my pale beers are less than perfect. Just at the point of drinkable, really. I think my water has a lot to do with that. So, for my Belgian Tripel, I will be playing with my water profile a little. I stir the mash a couple times throughout. I do not worry about temp at all because of the density of the mash. The temp really is not going anywhere over the hour. The radio barely gets attention paid to it at all. It's just for ambient noise, really.

Well if you really want commercial free unedited music, just use Pandora or Slacker internet radio. Plus you get to play DJ too and pick the songs you want to here.
Not sure what this has to do with beer, but I know I like listening to music while brewing!

you stir your mash throughout the 60 mins? Of course. Every 20 minutes. I want to break up the pockets. Conversion can happen much quicker than the hour we give it. I want to ensure everything has a chance to convert. Wow, I've never heard of anyone doing that. Doesn't your mash temp drop a lot? Most brewers mix thoroughly up front to insure there's no dough balls, take a pH reading, and button it up for the duration. I know I never see more than a 2 degree drop over a 60 minute mash. You've seriously never heard of anyone stirring their mash? Wow to that. Perhaps you should interview more brewers. Seems as though there are even motors used to stir the mash. Do a search in your HBT. There are even threads about building them and how to do it "correctly." Look under the DIY thread. There's a lot to learn in there. No, my temp stays put. The mash is too thick for the short amount of time I spend stirring to affect it.

I actually saw a few of those self stirring mash tuns online a while back. Here is a link to one of them: http://www.brewingtechniques.com/library/backissues/issue2.6/put.html

Sorry if I raised your ire Butterbean. I'm of course fully aware of mechanized stirrers, but that's a different kettle of fish entirely as there's obviously no heat loss incurred. I know from significant experience that I can consistently drop the temp of a 6lb grist with 2:1 ratio by 2 deg per minute with vigorous stirring. HBT isn't mine, BTW. I'm just a member there...

Then I certainly apologize for the tone of my response. There are many ways to brew and mine may not be the best for everyone. I am making consistently great beers and have feedback from experienced AG brewers to back it up. I certainly still have many questions and I delve into those topics as they come up. I do not stir vigorously. Just enough to "make sure." I only lost 2° in my 90 minute mash last week for my IPA. For a 60 minute mash, I usually lose nothing when I pre-heat the tun but if I do, it's a degree. I am brewing in 90-100° weather though. I didn't mean anything by the "your" comment. Just wrote it that way.

the water adjustments, especially. i've seen some good youtubes about making a starter and using mr.malty calculator... but none on calculating water adjustments and how/when to do it. speaking of "do it", DO IT! glad to have you back on the boards
