There is something to be said about Nuclear aging, which if raised to the boiling point of Methanol, it'd evap first, then you'd be left with more pure ethanol. I'm going to start doing this on store bought liquour. Gets rid of headaches.

something I did.... I went to a restaurant supply store, and bought a perforated pizza pan that "just" fit down into my kettle. I slipped it in upside down and it sits about 3/8" off the bottom. A couple SS round head machine screws with the nut underneath to hold the weight off the bottom...

Thanks Jag, so, 1oz at 60min and 1oz at 30min?

Thanks for the input folks. I am not opposed to using two hops, but initially was looking for simple. I think I would add some hops early, but maybe not at 60min.... I'll have to do some gazintas to figure out how much bitter is reduced by adding at... say, 30min as opposed to 60 min. We...

Perhaps "Imbibing" is what I meant to write.

When I was in Fiji, I fell in love with bitter beer drunk warm! I am finding now, I am not so much into bitter, but more light/refreshing. For a mouthful of beer, I'll stick to my porters/stouts. I LOVE a warm Guinness. Anyways, Ima try a SMaSh with 2Row, and probably Citra to start...

OG or FG?

AND if you measure the temp of the grains ( or wort) just after pulling, one of the online calculators will tell you what temp is required in your wort (Pseudo strike temp/secondary strike temp) so your now Hot grain will bring it down to where you want it, or near so. You will need to weigh...

My first BIAB I squeezed the bag by twisting it to tighten then pressing down also. I did this for about 5 min til I got no more liquid puddling up. After setting the bag aside for hours, there was little to no liquid in the container. I doubt I got 2L from a 4kg grain bill. I will be...

Here's another thought can the berries be germinated in a rotating drum? the idea is to pour the saturated berries in the drum, and let the drum turn them over/over/over. Misting could be done if needed. an old electric dryer would work, turning off the heat and fan until sprouted to correct...

has anyone tried Starsan in the water?

my confusion comes in when folks refer to primary.... and adding an airlock. my kit told me to use a 10gal bucket, which has NO option to seal it. So leaving it in the "primary" would be leaving it in the open bucket. others refer to the primary as the "First" container used.... regardless...

Technically you need "1" and under optimum conditions, in one day, you'll have over 1Trillion So... But to make a specific taste/product, there are optimum amounts. but it would seem other amounts work fine also.

Maybe the flask was calibrated without using the tare function?

yup... that's why I asked I'm in the middle of God's Country, Saskatchewan, near the center!
