Yes. The valve on the left of the boil kettle is the return whirlpool.

The Mash tun also has a return at the top to recirculate.
I did not bother with one on the HLT as I will only use one pump for now and will just give it a stir.

Lets keep it to 5 gallons a person and those who spoke up first will have first option for 10.
I'll gladly settle for 5 gals so more can share... but I'll bring an extra carboy just in case :wink:


also, can I borrow a step drill bit to make a few holes in my keg? I've got one from harbor freight I don't believe it's big enough and it didn't seem to cut well..

I'll bring a fermenter to take home 5 gallons. Need to find out what yeast I should pitch. Hopefully I'll find a keg before the brewday so I can cut the lid as well. I have a step bit I'll bring just in case. Anything else I need to bring to help with brewday?

That is the yeast I was planning on using. If nobody chimes in before Wednesday then I will split it. Otherwise, I will get my starter going on Wednesday. Please, if there is someone who doesn't have access to starter equipment feel free to take the split and I will make my own starter.

I can bring my oxygen aeration system for those who will be pitching yeast at the brewday.

I have my yeast and will get my starter made for the brew day.
I'll be adjusting the total base malt grain bill up some so we can pull off some additional runnings of wort for separate boils if needed.

I'm planning to be on site earlier than 9 am to do the setup.

If anyone ccan help me Saturday to load and setup as well as break it down and unload at the end of the brew day would help alot.

I can help setup in the morning. Where are you located so I can see about helping load?
