I like Columbus or Millennium typically. I find that Millennium is more neutral than Columbus. Recently I brewed an IPA with Fuggles(aroma hop I know) as the bittering hop. Very smooth bittering I must say.

Plus 3 on the no squeeze. Take that time to setup your post boil gear, checklist. Then, have a beer.

Golden Promise plus any hops as a pale ale. 40-55 ibu. Cali yeast. I've done 3 now that many different palates have enjoyed. That said. I'm done with smash. I'd rather tweak a known good recipe. YMMV.

This is a great question. Assuming a perfect world of repeatable processes, environment and ingredients, I do wonder if a visual check indicates consistency.

I do stir often. As I noted before, the holes must be to blame! So material wise, poly voile is a stronger material than nylon? My first nylon bag I punctured my virgin BIAB run on my temp probe. Oops. That's hasn't been the case since. So I'm guessing the bag just failed with age. (8 batches...

I agree that is the most likely possibility. Never had any burn issues before. Of course I haven't had this much solid material in the boil before. What I have noticed in the past is that the dust(correct word?) tends to stick to the false bottom (top and bottom) and not end up on the bottom of...

I really like WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast. It drops clean and fast. It's also very neutral, in my opinion. More so than with Safale-05 if you want to let the hops shine more than the yeast. My Safale-04 IPAs have been a hit giving off a fruitier flavor if you want that. I've even pitched both...

I brewed about 8 batches with extract and steeping specialty grains before moving to BIAB. My beers are way better now.

So I was brewing a Maibock for the first time. Mash went fine, hit my OG. Proceeded to the boil. Now, I was a bit congested that day. About 50 minutes into the boil I notice an off smell. Whatever, I proceeded to finish up and chill through my cfc. The color was darker than expected. So I...

Awesome build man. Ingenious! Looking forward to seeing it completed.
