True, but can only do so much in 8 minutes :) If you have specific questions, just let me know and I can try to answer, or possibly make other vids...cheers!

Yes, sometimes I do depending on the style. Generally with the 2nd runoff, I just mashout at a higher temp for 10-20 mins. Faster...

[labrollprod]

Thanks! Yes, temps are super important. I generally assume that brewers will use the temps on the recipes they are brewing. My goal is to keep it simple. Cheers!

I try not to let it splash when transferring too much, but never had a problem yet. That's not really actually 'aerating' it I don't think. Thanks!

There is only one total boil, but with TWO runs. Collect wort from the firs, then the second and then boil as usual. The lid should be at least cracked a few inches or completely off just until the last few minutes. Some brewers keep the lid completely off. But yes, you want stuff to burn off. Also it will boil down to your desired final net amount of wort. Hope that helps!!

Actually all brewers I know ALWAYS close the kettle while cooling. If you don't, you have a high risk of introducing bacteria. You want it as sanitary as possible. It doesn't take long to cool covered with an immersion chiller. Depending on outside and ground temp 30-40 mins max for me. Plus, I always seal the small opening with foil. That's why you see kettle lids that have a cutout for the lit. You should be able so find most tutorials with the lid closed. Cheers!!!

evilstatic - I'm super happy this was able to help you in any way! A lot of people use braided plumbing hosing for coolers like the one in my vids. I started with one, but had two stuck sparges, before buying the bazooka. Perfect since, and worth every penny. Plus, it's heavy duty in comparison. I recently started a homebrewing blog and have posted a couple brews that are interesting. I will get more up soon. Thanks for the comment and cheers to you!!!!

That was a great 2nd half video you have here. I trully learned alot more. I am into my 3rd year of brewing and i have brewed 11 clones and i am through with partial mashing and clones. I am gonna start making my own brews and have switched to all grain, i have a mash tun cooler similer to yours and ready to brew. I just needed to know what method to use/practice and that one you just showed me is excatly what i'm looking for. Thank you once again. Salud.

Quick question . so your doing a 1 hour mash and then the second run is another hour mash making it a total of 2hr mash?

Great video, I'm going to try my first all grain brew this weekend and will be keeping this video on hand for reference...thanks for making it.

best video on all grain ... Not many detail temperatures which are pretty important!
