Just Mashed in a Strong Scotch Ale, going to partygyle it. If my first runnings are for a 10 gal batch OG 1.070 and I'm going to partygyle a 5 gal batch off of it, would it be a good idea to add a pound or two of grain when mashing the second runnings ? to get decent efficiency ? Or will...

Hello, Anyone have the setup numbers for BeerSmith when using a coleman 70qt extreme cooler with a copper manifold? I will be doing 5 gal but mainly 10 gal batches if that makes any difference or if I need to setup 2 different profiles. I am putting the tun together and would like to try...

Hello Everyone, Today I pulled off my first 10 gal batch, I have to say it went really well and I don't think it was any harder than brewing a 5 gallon batch other than filling 2 fermenters instead of 1. In-fact in some ways it was easy'r than a 5 gal batch, I BIAB in 1 pot and found that...
