Yeah. I brew a ton of stouts and want to try a even higher finishing gravity then normal. Last Imperial milk stout I did (just won Gold at the sunshine challenge ) started at 1.132 and finished at 1.050 but it had a 1lb of lactose in it. I want to go a bit higher on both the starting and...
Cool. Ive done the water calculations like you've done above except I added in the MT dead space. Do you know a formula that would approximate the gravity of those running's?
Yeah its going to be a very high starting gravity. Aiming for around 1.150 -1.160 with a finishing gravity around 1.065
Whats up guys,
I plan on doing a first running's Double mash Imperial stout in the next few weeks and was wondering if a few on here have done this before and could help with some advice. My plan is to dough in on around 25lbs of grain at 1.5 qts per lb mash for 60 min then run all that wort...
That's what's getting at me is I know I do more than most when it comes to eliminating/keeping o2 at a minimum. I've been brewing a while now and never seemed to have a problem even going back to my extract brewing days using buckets.
I did try putting some in a hydro flask and it looked very...
I do push sanitizer through the keg but then take the lid off to dump out the last little bit of sanitizer, put the lid on, fill and purge at 20psi a few times then remove the lid, rack the beer and purge 2 more times before setting carb pressure. Maybe ill build some type of contraption to do...
I haven't yet because I purge the keg with co2 and you can still see the keg full of it when I remove the lid and start to transfer. you can even see the beer as it fills up pushing the co2 out so I figured there wouldn't be any o2 in the keg especially after purging it again right after...
so before transferring from primary to secondary I purge the carboy completely with co2, then transfer with a 3/8 auto siphon with the tubing running all the way to the bottom of the carboy so it doesn't introduce oxygen. When kegging I do the same thing. Purge the keg with coz then transfer...

So I've been having a issue brewing beers with a light SRM. So the last beer I brewed was a Whie IPA. All through fermentation it had a nice bright straw yellow color to it. It was a little cloudy but that's to be expected usin Wheat malt and a Belgian yeats that doesn't floc well. After I...
