I just read a cool article in BYO on how to make a nice mash tun and I
think I am going to go from partial mash/extract to all grain for my
first brew back.

I use a Phil's false bottom in a round Rubbermaid (i.e., Gott) cooler.
Very effective.

Considering the name, isn't there a missing ingredient ???????
Just wondering...

Depends on how much of a stickler you are for Reinheitsgebot...

Wow, that's all the hops it takes? I've never brewed.

Think of how far an ounce of good red-hair bud goes. Not that I do that
sort of thing any more.

So, figure: it takes about 3/5 of an ounce of hops per gallon of beer.
According to the article, they lost 10,000 two hundred pound bales of
hops, which is 32 million ounces of hops, which comes to about 53
million gallons of beer.

(For the sticklers, this is ignoring differences between whole leaf and
pellet hops, yadda-yadda. Still a hell of a lot of beer.)

Yep that's about what they are showing... Phil False bottom, round
cooler and some weldless fittings.
Along with this I would love to finally keg... that is whole other
kettle of fish

I don't see it as a disaster, unless you're a
fan of macro brews.

"Besides being one of the largest growers in
the valley, Steiner is one of three large
merchants that buy from other growers in the
area. The others are John I. Haas Inc., the
grower-owned cooperative Yakima Chief and Hop
Union, which specializes in sales to craft
brewers."

Now if it had been Hop Union...

So, now a suspect has been named.

I'll never switch to Merlot!

This couldn't come at a worse time as I've just consumed my supply of
Cascade and Willamette.

sigh. Back to the old standby's of Hallertaure, Tettnang, Kent
Goldings, Saaz, Fuggles and Perle. ummm, I think I need to brew a
hefeweizen. With a backup Irish ale... a hold-out bock.
