Haters are going to hate... on your high efficiency

I also BIAB and I get 81% efficiency pretty consistently. It confuses me cause I heard that BIAB was less efficient. I do squeeze the bag(lauter) and rinse some in extremely hot water though admittedly its minimal. Has anyone figured this out? edit: sorry for zombie thread raise...

I bought it.... I will let you know the results. On a side note does anyone know where the carbonation level should be? I think its carbed closer to an American lager than a American ale.

Did you use a spice bag or something? If I add those spices at the five minute mark... Id be hard pressed to remove them when I rack to secondary. I assume the coriander and nutmeg dissolved and could not be removed and we are really talking about the bitter orange peel. This is going to be a...

When should I add the coriander, nutmeg, orange peel, and orange juice? I am making this soon and don't know when to add these ingredients? Sorry for the thread resuscitation...

Wow what a great idea.... And I was just coming in to ask why my extract brews keep coming out dark. Thanks :rockin:

It looks to me like this is the sediment left behind from a krausen. A small krausen.

This forum really answers any question I can ever think of, thanks guys!

If a secondary is used. How long does it take for a beer to clear? Also, though I admit this part is off topic, Should I save the yeast cake in the primary? Or is that a stupid idea.

Hey Guys, I am new here and to brewing. I just got all my equipment and plan to start brewing in the next couple weeks. My first batch will be Rouge Dead Guy Clone, followed by a Belgian Abbey Ale. The Yeast (Pacman) smack pack that I have is past the best on date so I plan to make a starter as...
