I get loads of trub as well. My only beef with it is that it takes up space.

The hot rocks add earthy flavors, smoke and soot...the sugars caramelize on the rocks so it adds some sweetness and colour. We used hardwood to make a coal bed.

We did a 60 min boil with the rocks...we did heat the wort to near boil with propane...just to save us some time.

Recipe was in the oktoberfest style.

5gal batch
5lbs 2row
5lb Munich
Mashed at 152f for 90min
2oz of Tettnanger at 60min
White labs german ale/kolsch yeast

Brewed a pale ale today.25 IBU EKG hopped with Amarillo finish. 50/50 2-row and pilsner malt with a pound of 60* crystal, a pound of biscuit, and a half pound of chocolate. 1.062 OG fermenting on S04. I will probably dry hop further with more Amarillo and dilute to 5% when kegging. :rockin:

Brewing assistant crushing the grains - he had a bit of trouble with the torque on the drill. No spillage though.

I like what you did with the purple strap through the handles on the grain bag in your tun. Is that just a stretch of nylon webbing you're using there?

Yeah, it's nylon webbing with velcro attached to strap it together.
