I am curious to know if others rinse with water after santizing. The RJS instructions state to thoroughly rinse after sanitizing. I normally drain well but have not been rinsing.

The boiling water does better than this on the gold for me but I am only 600' above sea level.

I can just picture you trying to do your racking and bottling with his help. Yikes. A purpletoddler. Good luck.............

The gold give me the most grief. I use the boiling water method and it sometimes leaves the lower edge slightly curled. Don't seem to have that with the other colors that I have used.

Let me know how well the Wagner works. I have been considering buying a heat gun as well. Lowes is right down the street.

Great looking set up Rick. Definitely need to make one for myself. I have never looked closely at an auto fill type setup. Doessplash filling cause any oxidation concerns or is the exposure time short enough not to worry about?

Agree with Tony. I don't believe you could get the bag out. That's why I like spirals. Easy to remove without racking to a clean carboy. With only 2 months to go you could add the beans to the carboy and rack and bottle if you get to your desired taste before the full 2 months is over. I can't...

Mistake in second paragraph. I don't utilize the additional oak based on what should be a full dose.

Maybe I misunderstand when you are planning to add this additional oak but I wouldn't recommend putting a hop bag into a carboy. Inside primary is fine. I always use the oak that was supplied with the kit during primary fermentation and then during time in the carboydecide whether or not...

Love it. Great looking piece of land. Good luck with the construction.

Welcome seeds of hope, we are thrilled to have you. Great bunch of people here with a world of experience.

Happy Birthday Moto-Girl, have a great one.

Wade, totally agree. Drop by, pick up a kit of interest. Next thing you know, you have a closet full of kits ready and waiting.

Yikes, what the heck is that garb???

OK, made the short trek into see Joseph and George Monday. That's the beauty of living this close. 10 minutes from my workplace. 30 minutes from home. Ordered an EP Italian Amarone and brought home an EP Chilean Carmenere. Can't wait to start this puppy this weekend. I'll try to learn how to...
