Apr 17, 2008 · What I learned from my first 10 gal batch: I needed a taller brewstand. After cooling, 10 gal is too heavy to pour into fermenters. I have no ball valve and go over the top of my kettle. My stand was really low and racking took FOREVER! Use cinder blocks if you need to get your stand up to a reasonable height for racking later.

Jan 14, 2013 · I recently bought a 10 gal. Rubbermaid Mash Tun with a 12" stainless steel false bottom and brewed three batches of beer (Cream, Steam, and Scotch ales). The Cream was finally finished and was bottled only to be opened by St. Paddy's Day to contain an initial wheat/corn taste and a (what can only be described as) "plastic-like" aftertaste.

Dec 6, 2005 · I realize you can do a lot with a 10 Gal mash tun and do some lower gravity 10 gallon batches, but if you want to do 10 gallon batches of RIS, Barleywine or anything with a higher Gravity- you simply need more room. For sure you can do 5 gallon batches of high gravity beers in a 10 gallon MT, but my statement didn't address 5 gallon batches.

Jul 31, 2015 · I brew 10 gallons around once a month. Three times a year I'll do five gallons of a big beer.

Sep 5, 2001 · Reefs.com Discussion - I've got a refugium as a section of my sump. I estimate it to be 8-10 gallons (section is ~ 8" x 15" x 14" with 4" DSB). I was going to get the 65 watt LOA fixture but since its so small would the 27 watt LOA be enough? Anybody who's running the 27W bulb please chime...

Aug 22, 2008 · I run 5 gal batches most of the time in my 15 gal kettle. I'm glad I have extra room to slosh around. I do fine with 10 gal batches when I do them. 2 or 3 gallons will fit fine in a 6.5 gal carboy/fermenter. Don't worry about the extra head space unless you are wanting to secondary. I'm in the vein of brewers that if I don't have to secondary ...

Apr 18, 2010 · Thank you for the offer. I actually have a 10 gallon aquarium that I can make a practice run on first. I was going to throw it out because it was medicated but I guess I just found a purpose for it. I will let everyone know how it turns out when I attempt it at the end of the month.

Sep 7, 2005 · Reefs.com Discussion - I have a 36" twin tube fluorescent strip light, no bulbs, but the strip works fine. It was manufactured in Jan 2003, in minty condition. The bulbs originally in it when I got it were just about used up, but still good enough to test the ballast as working. I …
