OK. So I have an update to my issue. I moved the first of my two 5gal buckets to keg and force carbed using an air stone and I am very proud to report that the American Pale Ale is absolutely delicious. Not one off flavor can be detected.
I am absolutely pleased that it turned out just how it...
Hey mtnagel, thanks for the post. It really sucks that this far along in brewing (literally hundreds of all grain batches) that I did such a foolish thing but and it really sucks to have to drink (I feel compelled to) 110 beers or so with possible off flavors. I do appreciate the information...
Sorry. I had not realized that Danstar made anything but the small 11 gram packets. I used their 11 gram packet between 11.75 gallons at an OG of 1.041.
Hey All. I brewed yesterday for the first time in 5 months and finally brewed my first batch at my new home but I know for a fact I underpitched and now I need advice.
I make a batch size of 11.75 gallons and because I had no more slants left of even a starter going, I was forced to use dry...
My first attempt was the same way. My efficiency was horrible and came in at 1.040 and was Very weak and no prominent pumpkin flavor was discernible. I brewed it again last weekend and decided I would not miss my gravity this time. I brewed another 5 gallon batch, using 60oz of baked pumpkin...
I went back and looked at my brewsheets and I do indeed have my strike water at 162 not the actual mash temps. They are usually about 156 for 60-75min.
I am still baffled as to why my OG's are often 8-10 points lower than they should be. Even though my PH is so good. And, for a 5gal batch, I...
Wow, OK so I have possibly found the reason my OG's have been so horrible lately. I am not sure where I got the info from but... I mash at 162 for 60min and mash out at 170. I primarily make EPA's and some darker ales but 99 out of 100 brews is an ale. If an OG listed in beersmith is supposed...
FYI: I brewed this in a 5gal version this past weekend. The only think I had to change was using torrified wheat rather than flaked wheat because my Northern shipment did not reach me in time. For 5gal, it came out to only 60oz (4cans) of pumpkin and my sparge only lasted 20min and that is with...
