Thanks for the tips. Been searching, but any specific recipes you’d recommend?

I haven't brewed anything new/solo in quite awhile. Used to brew with a neighbor, but he's off the sauce now. We brewed lots of IPAs/APAs, and never ventured too big. Looking for an all grain stout recipe that will be 12% plus & thick. Something that will stand up to possible adjuncts. Cheers!

Edgar suit

I typically run the water through a purifier, is that not a great idea?

Bull market

In order, my corrections will be such: Correcting temp Finer milling Adding to recipe. Since I've not got my mill built yet...would my coffee grinder be a good stopgap in pulse form?

Face sitting

Thanks Demus. 74% is assumed in recipe. From a friend's recent brew I enjoyed. So, should I always get a grain excess above grainbill? My LHBS is 40 minutes away, so if I'm going to be topping off, I'll need to plan ahead. I have a random mixed bag of stuff left over from a brew day in the fall...

Kinda liking it, full page loads fairly quickly even without an app

I'm doing a variation on this, this weekend. I'm upping hops by 40%, did .75# special roast. The original recipe came out to 50 IBUs using Rager, want it a bit higher

I don't have those recipes handy, but I gave the OG examples earlier. Missed last one by .008, previous one was .011. So...progress?

I know there are many apps/software out there. Ive been reading through the threads, and I'd like to try before I buy something, but I'll take someone else's word. I'll be using my iPhone/iPad exclusively. So which route should I go? Not digging this fermenticus, it's more log than anything. I...

5.5 gallon, been playing around with fermenticus

@rodwha add 1# at flameout? I'm thinking this route, I'll add updated info after Sat. And yes, to the previous Q, I do cool before taking readings.

No that is mash temp. I've been getting strike to 170°. So further crap. Ah, the trial & error of homebrew. The LHBS does crushing, but I'm in process of building my own. So next time on, it'll be me. I have some leftover DME, so I could go that route, but when to add it? Also, I'd rather do...

I'm doing all grain. LHBS thinks I'm mashing too high? Usually 162°. So, there is one efficiency issue possibly. Was using dry yeast, they had me switch to liquid. For instance I've been hitting 5.8% instead of estimated 6.6%. FG was almost right on estimate, but OG was well short I like the...

I'm tucking into my 7th brew day Saturday and I am desperate to find how to heighten my OG, in turn having a higher ABV. My previous brews have all missed OG, thus having a lower ABV and being out of balance in general. I'm hopefully brewing an IIPA, so a low number would be bad. How do I...

What amounts? Liking the sounds of the IIPA

They have fuggles and EKG too, but not really interested. It's a tiny store, 1 man show

This sounds pretty straight forward, may go this route. Like those big hop punches, so I may up weights a bit, maybe to .75 of each. Thanks guys, more ideas are welcome!
