for a 10 gallon batch and trying to get to 12.5 gallons pre boil ( roughly) it takes me about 1.5 with temps hlt at 168 and over this time brings the mash up to 168. I also done this in quicker times say about 1 hours but those two batches did not ferment below 1.020. this last batch also did...

I made a yeast starter with stir plate but stir bar keep coming off so not sure how much it helped. I did 2 packs of yeast. I was doing 2 batches and had 1056 as well. So 2 packs of both and I can't recall but I think the 1272 did not swell and the other one did but no sure. Date was July but...

Day 7 of a AG smoked porter, pitched temps were good, Og was 1.062 hoping for a 1.010 to 1.012 fg. air locks were very lite and one bucket did do much at all. I am at 1.024 right now. 10 gallon batch. Should I pitch 1/2 a pack to both buckets or a whole packet to each? Thoughts?

Thanks for the input. This batch is not on the keg and I hate it.. Drinking it since I have 10 gallons but it was a problem child since the mash. The fusal Alchol has faded a little but I screwed up the mash temps too and it was around 143 so it is very heavy and does really have much taste...

do you think teh 69/70 was the issue or the pitching and first 24 hours at 81 the issue? thanks

Made a AG pale ale, mash temps were about 145 lower then wanted. OG 1.053 and checked to today at 1.010 so right were I want. on day 12 today i tasted and notice a bit of the high fusel alchols in there. Not much of the hop flavor i was looking for but that is another issue. I was brewing 2...

Ok made 10 gallon oatemeal stout last Tuesday og was 1.056.. split it to 2 5gallon caroboys. 1st carboy is going to be a bourbon oak oatmeal stout using oak chips soaked in Jack during the secondary. Did this one first and the fg was 1.020 beer smith says it should be 1.015 so about 5...

Prandlesc- i guess that was a "duh" monment for me. I checked the probe in a glass of tap water and my other 2 mercury and dial (alchol) both read 60 and the probe was 68. did not do the ice water or 150 due to time issues but based on this I figured my probe is off about 8-9 degrees so I...

I bought a 14.5 gallon conical fermenter (Blichmann) and have it my shed/office with a room temp of around 69. I added a thermowell to it and am measuring the temp with a ranco temp control probe to the inside. After the primary it took out some beer to measure the Gravity and it the temp was...

spent the day clean up today my self not sure why but this happens to me almost on every batch .. not the explosion yet but the big mess and I use a 6.5 carboy with blow tube 3/8 and air lock.

I added the exit side ball valve and took out one elbow. I tried to adjust the ball valve to near no flow and the pressure and flow still died off after only a few minutes. I think it actually got worst. I then took a piece of the pex tubing and ran it off the ball value curved it up to...

are you able to open a Pdf? if so I has attached a pdf showing my system in the original thread. If not i will post a picture thanks Dale

book worm: the highest point is 9 ft roughly from the pump. i know it's high but I gravity from hlt to mash to pot thru chiller to a carboy (with funnel on top). chugger pump 1/20 hp should be around 7gpm Mikescooling: might sound like a dump question but when you say a 1/2 and 3/4 closed...
