That was a typo, I edited it. Chocolate is ~0.3 black patent is ~0.03
not really sure how necessary that black patent is. It contributes only 3 SRM. I may re-listen to the CYBI episode and see if they mention is. I know people refer to the usage of black patent as waving a few grains over...
Whoops, that makes more sense. I used 5lb 5oz. Guess I should have thought about that a little more.

Gordon strong promotes this process for everyone, not just people with small equipment. I heard this on an interview with brad smith i believe. He questions why all of the great brewers are filling their darker beers with brewing salts to compensate for the change in mash ph, when all you need...
Seems to be a common trend that everyone ends up overshooting the og specified here.
I might as well join in. This thread inspired me to try a party gyle this weekend. Made a 5 gallon Zombie Dust clone (1.068) og. My second runnings were 1 gallon at 1.038. I BIAB so my efficiency is a...
I found a post by tasymcd over at the morebeer forums that has a description and a link to the episode. These are gems that you find by listening to many many BN shows. Tasty definitely likes to drop these little gems at random. Enjoy this bit of wisdom, its one of many reasons I want a...
