Thank you for the reply. So just go with 3 Liters right out at the start? This will be for a 3.5 gallon batch. At a pitch rate of 1.0, I’ll need about 286 billion cells. Imperial yeast is 200 billion cells, however my pack of yeast is now a month and a half old. The brewers friend pitch...

Looking to make a strong dark beer. Decided on a vanilla porter with a target OG of 1.090. Bought a pack of imperial darkness. I am not brewing a lower gravity beer prior to this one, so I’m planning a 3 liter starter using a 1 gallon glass jug. I have done starters before, but nothing anywhere...

Sorry, know the last reply to this thread is 2 years old. Hope there’s no issue in bringing it back up. Haven’t brewed in a couple years, trying to finally get back into it and looking for a dark beer as we move into the fall season soon. I was looking for a higher abv as well. I will be brewing...

I know this post is a year old now, but did this ever sell? Is it still available? Thanks

Thank you all for the help. I think I’m going to go with the floating dip tube. I’ll need to replace my dip tube with a gas in post correct?

Thank you all for the responses. I had given a floating diptube a thought, but I had thought they went for $40+. Yowzer thank you for the link, good to see I can get one for under $20. The only other thing that has me thinking, is how long do you guys think I can get out of the floating dip...

So you took the dip tube out and just used a short gas supply tube in the out post? Wouldn’t be able to perform a pressure transfer then right?

My brewing has been dormant a while but getting back into it. Moving from 5gal batches to 3 gal batches. Got a new set of 3gal kegs, and now planning to ferment in 5 gal cornys for ease of harnessing co2, using it purge the serving kegs, for spunding and for easier pressure transfers. How much...

Emailed the manufacturer and got some help from them. Turns out the wires had been replaced before, and was able to sort it out.

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here, I know it isn’t quite electric brewing, however I am an electric brewer. I figured it’s electrical, so I put it here where it might get noticed by those who are electrical savvy. Purchased an old used bodine gear motor off eBay. Got it cheap, seller said cord...

Thank you all for the responses here. Between this thread and my previous thread I’ve decided I’m gonna stick with BIAB for now, but I’ve now made plans to finally build a more permanent 3 vessel eherms system in my basement in the future like I’ve always wanted. Thanks all

Is there a difference in what happens in extraction between sparging with hot water and recirculating with mash liquor/wort? I posted another thread recently where I asked about going to 2 vessel brewing from Single vessel. If I make the decision to do so, my plan was to cross recirculate...

Thank you guys for the responses. I’m still kinda on the fence about what I want to do, but I think some degree of it is just wanting to rebuild some of my system. In the mean the time, I need to brew more and I’ll try to scrutinize my process a bit to decide what items really are priority for...

I’m not disagreeing with you at all. I’m sure you have better knowledge then I do that’s why I’m here asking. Saying that it’s obviously just pulverized grain and husk is probably an overstatement, but surely some of it has to be right? Unfortunately I do not have my own mill (another investment...

I currently do 5 gallon batches with a 10 gallon eBIAB setup, however I already have a 15 gallon kettle with mating false bottom. So I’m not to far off from being able to make the switch. It would still cost me an additional $200-300 between possibly another pump and additional plumbing and...

Wow everyone. Thanks for all the responses. So here’s the deal for me. I am actually not so concerned about having a clear beer after ferment. I am actually a very big fan of neipas so clear beer for me isn’t an absolute must. Most of my beers do go into the fermenter turbid and with hot break...

Got the chance to watch a brew with a pro brewery recently. Have been doing BIAB for most of my home brewing career, but I did do some 3 vessel batch sparge brewing. I never really accomplished clear wort during my vorlauf and lauter routine. I’m pretty sure i rushed the process and left my...

Thank you guys for the responses and help. I went thru my vanilla porter kit recipes I’ve done before and some modelo clone recipes and it seems chocolate malt is common malt between the recipes. So I’m thinking chocolate malt is the malt I want. I’m still undecided whether I want a dunkel now...

Perhaps I am wrong in describing it as roasty. I certainly can taste the darker malts used in negra modelo though and they are much more subtle then say a porter or stout, but the flavor is similar in the background, at least with the vanilla porter kits I’ve made and the the Baltic porters I’ve...
