    Another Efficiency Issue...

    So I don’t do my own mash calculations per se.... I use the Brewersfriend website to determine what my o.g. will be for a certain recipe. I’m confident in Brewersfriend after making several beers to understand what my system can do. I know that I lose 1 1/2 gallons during a 60 min boil. When...

    Another Efficiency Issue...

    IMHO water contact with grain will affect efficiency. So crushing the grain more fine will help as will improved recirculating (mixing). Back when I used to just recirculate with a 1/2” silicone tube sticking partially down into the bag, I would need to stir the mash several times to improve...

    Miserable efficiency, why?

    You mention you didn’t stir in the grains when mashing in.... possibly a high amount of grain clumps/ balls?? If so, you can recirculate but if the water doesn’t contact the grains, it won’t extract sugar. I would brew it again, and mix the grains well to a thin “oatmeal”, then recirculate.

    New Mangrove Jack's strains?

    Kegged the Amarillo SMaSH IPA today. Final Gravity was 1.013 for a 79% attenuation (1 packet). Very pleased with the outcome. Initial taste was very good. Will let it sit on gas for about a week and pour my first pint afterwards. So far I'd definitely use this yeast again. [emoji106]🏻

    Thermometer broke, should I drink this??

    I agree with IslandLizard and it personally happened to me a few years back. Just double check on what the metal "pellets" are, but more than likely its non poisonous. Just filter, and continue on!
