Won't be long now, just need to run some lines and run a "wet" run with water to check for leaks and calculate system loss. Then I'll be a good cleaning away from back in business!!!
Great setup, nice and clean. Beer (stout?) looks excellent also!
You sir have peaked my interest. Recipe that can be shared?
Czech lagers are making a grand come back, I have yet to partake. But a dark... I may have to experience this train ride.
Shady Bohemian is shared on this site. One of my better efforts I think.

You could substitute Saaz for the Kazbeck if you have a hard time finding it. I know Cluster isn't style correct, but I like what it brings to the table in this one.
" have only about 3 quarts of dead space"
did you use Dip tube?
Well I just finished the leak test. I found that after 30 minutes of circulating chlorinated pipeline detergent solution that the Mark II was leaking just a bit(looks like I may have messed up the threads when I put on the ball valve, didn't spin on hard though???) Ordered a stainless head and a new gasket, should solve the problem.
Anyway, looks like between the mash tun and the HLT I have only about 3 quarts of dead space and the "True Weldless Bulkheads" from Brewhardware.com worked PERFECTLY. Going to let it completely gravity drain then flush the system with water to git the chlorine out. May run the kettle up to a boil to test my hood.
Had the same problem with the MKII, but got it sorted out only to drop it and break the original head and ended up replacing with the SS one. If you got the 25 watt model you have a great little pump.
Oooooooh, pretty, and the sun just about to set on the ranch! Looks real nice my Western VDN cousin!
More of a western reference than an acreage implication, a lovely sunrise is it was, cheers fellow Canukian!Actually that was sunrise...and if by"ranch" you mean 1/3 acre in a small town...LOL
