Sounds good. I use mrmalty when making starters but I just have never used a slurry before. Thanks for the advice. I will be brewing this up on the weekend so I will post results when it is finished.
I have a honey kolsch fermenting now (10 gallons) so I think I will make this and use the slurry from that. Is there anything special I need to do with the slurry or do I just put the wort on top of it and oxygenate as usual? Should I wash the slurry or will it be ok just pitching?
Just brewed this up and halfway into the boil I looked at the reciept and noticed that there was no black barley on it. I thought this was a little lighter than it should have been. What affects is this going to have and what can I do at this point (now fermenting). What does the black barley...
Just brewed up 10 gals of this. I used whole hops, treated ro water, and I roasted 4 lbs of two row per dude's method. I used washed pac-man for 5 gals and a fresh vile of wlp001 for the other five gals with 1 liter starters for each. Each one is chugging away at 64 degrees and the smell is...
Just tapped a keg of this I brewed about 4 weeks ago. Made some mistakes like missing my strike temp by 2 degrees (148). I did not boil off as much as I anticipated so my o.g. was 1.053 but nothing too serious. Everyting else went well i think. I used a 2 litre starter with pac-man yeast and...
I am going to use this recipe as my first try at a 10 gallon batch. I think I will use centennial as the first and second bittering additions and cascade as the last two additions plus dry hopping. The ibu's will only be at 34 so I hope it is enough. I am not a real hop-head though I do like...
I just put 5 gallons of this in bottles. OG was a little high - 1.052 and the FG finished at 1.010. I did add some extra grain when mashing but now I am getting better efficiency with my BIAB set up. I upped the hops just a little and the FG sample tasted great. This should be a great drinking...
Nice to hear that other people use coolers with biab. I do it to help me control my temps better. It has worked good so far and I am getting better results with each brew.
