<br>Maybe we need an ALE-brewing engineering get-together as well. What parts do we have and what's missing from the collection? I can speak clearly that a 1/4 O.D. copper tube is too damn small to siphon wort through for a counterflow cooler.<br>

The current batch is a bottle-conditioned all grain brown ale roughly based on Papazian's Monkey's Paw recipe from the first Joy of Homebrew. I don't have my notes handy, so I can't tell you the ISG and FSG, or even what my hopping was. It came out plenty rich & chocalaty, and I've had some good reviews, although I haven't entered it in any contests. I added some jaggery as a booster which seems to have contributed some interesting notes. <br>
<br>A RIMS system is definitely in my dreams, but right now I'm mashing in
a picnic drink cooler and sparging through a gravity-fed sprinkler
system (a "beer tree" I built from plans in BYO magazine). I have just aquired a laboratory stirrer which I'm anxious to try out at the end of my next boil. <br><br>The batch in the secondary alas _is_ syrup. I brew outdoors and have difficulty with temperature control in the winter. Besides, I was introducing a buddy to the joys of propane and large pots of boiling wort. I racked it this past weekend and it seems to be quite hoppy. <br>
<br>NB that Jim Kinney is a homebrewer of note here. Hey! Maybe it's part of the Open Source Culture!<br><br>-- CHS<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/8 Sid Lane <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jakes.dad@gmail.com" target="_blank">jakes.dad@gmail.com</a>></span><div>
