Re: The Food Thread/Cooking, BBQ'ing, Drinking, Eating, Dining Etc.
My wok is carbon steel. It's not the most expensive one out there but it got me going. After a couple months it's seasoned pretty well now too.
Do you have a big bag to mash so you can lift it out of your wort at towards the end? As I said I've never done all grain brewing but think if start making beer again I will probably try this. I still have the stainless steel pot, soda keg, CO2 and all that stuff up in my garage collecting mouse turds, lol.
Once my second leaves for college this year I may start back at it.
I have good memories of sitting in my garage with the door just cracked with some friends, the guys that got me started home brewing and one was my customer from Missouri, brewing and drinking and eating junk. Making beer was a great excuse to drink beer. My wife was in side with my little ones and at that time they were little. 6 and unders. Back when they used to say "Dadddyyyy!" like they were happy to see you, lol. Now it's grunts and insults Ha ha ha! I'm exaggerating but you get the idea.Last edited by BustOfPallas; 03-08-2020 at 07:00 AM.

Re: The Food Thread/Cooking, BBQ'ing, Drinking, Eating, Dining Etc.
So I put the grain in a second vessel for mashing rather than biab. I am debating getting one of the electric all in one units you can use inside though. May be worth checking out if you're just getting back into it.
The big ones are:
Mash and boil
Robobrew
Grainfather
Anvil Foundry
There's also the digimash that came out recently which is cheaper but less full featured

Re: The Food Thread/Cooking, BBQ'ing, Drinking, Eating, Dining Etc.
I need to brew something. I brewed an all grain smash IPA last summer, but I had to dump it. Just turned out badly.
I built a mash tun out of a Home Depot orange cooler. I have a chugger pump for filling the mash tun with hot water for the mashing/sparging phases.
For boiling I use a 10-gal Bayou Classic on a propane burner.
For fermenting, I use Fermonster plastic carboys. I used to ferment in glass carboys, but they’re heavy and I’ve broke a few before moving them around. I made a makeshift fermentation chamber out of an old coffin freezer, a heat lamp, and a dual temp controller.
I got out of the bottling game a long time ago and built a two tap keezer.

Very nice! Color looks juse awesome. Probably would taste pretty good right now but where's the fun in drinking beer w/out alcohol Hahahahah! I remember after the first fermentation if the wert tasted good you were in perfect shape. If it tasted like ass you were done, lol.
I think one of those indoor rigs would be great. Locate it near a window so any off gassing can go outside. Very cool man.

That's basically what my keg dispensing system is.
I still have one glass carboy that hasn't broken and a fastferment. Inadvertently killed my better bottles by leaving pbw in too long. Hoping to get stainless next. The Anvil ones seem slick but affordable.

Don’t know if any of you guys have Joule or a sous vide device, but I absolutely love using it.
