Yup! That is the recipe I'm following. I've read a few places that cereal mash isn't super necessary, especially if use select appropriate substitute grains. Since I am doing BIAB, I didn't want to do the cereal mash. I feel like if I'm doing the cereal mash, I might as well go full bore and do...

I will let y'all know how it turns out.

Yeah, I did a few. I'm using BrewR on my phone. Also checked numbers with a BIAB calculator online.

I figured cornmeal would be just a cheaper fermentable. I was going to just try more flaked corn. I figured it would have a similar outcome.

Great! Thank you. I am using flaked maize. Thanks for the help!

OK, cool. Will the maize give similar flavor to the cornmeal/flakes combo?

Ok, so I have a couple of questions. My brother in law has been wanting me to clone Rainer. :rockin: I couldn't ever find a recipe that was extract (was only doing extract and PM at the time, didn't want to try to convert it). But now that I am making the leap to AG. I figured I'd do it for him...

Thanks everyone. I felt like maybe it was just the yeast working again. I've haven't had a screw up yet, I'm too crazy about sanitation. Thanks again.

Can someone tell me if this looks like an infection. I have hunch that it isn't...just want affirmation. Sorry for the bad quality...flash reflected hardcore.

Sounds good! May brew this Sunday. Have you tried brewing it without water modification? My water taste amazing, so I figure I'd not mess with it when I do this brew.

I will be doing some experimenting to see what method I like best. I like the idea of the cooler because the temperature control seems easier. If I don't like only using my kettle and a seperate vessel for a dunk sparge, I may go with the mash tun idea.

My kettle is about 13 to 14 inch in diameter. I feel in the past I have lost about a gallon or so during other boils. I was going to double check the BIAB calculator to remind myself of what my pre-boil volume should be. I believe it was 7.25 gallons or so. Ill try the dunk sparge method before...

Awesome. Thank you!

I am thinking I am going to make the jump to all grain very shortly. I would like to do BIAB first. With that being said, I only have a 32 quart kettle, and I've been reading this isn't sufficient enough, due to the lack of space for sufficient water volume and the grain bill for a 5 gallon...

Thanks Kosch! I hope to meet with them soon. I work nights so it is difficult to do things involving alcohol at night mid week...
