    bavarian hefeweizen and mash/sparge PH

    I'm a Bavarian Hefe fan. My ultimate example is Schneider Weisse. (calibration) My experiments and regiment follows. My water is pretty void of key compounds. Close to distilled. After brewing many batches, I have gravitated to Dunkel Weise and they have came out well. I think the crystal...

    Recirculating hops through a plate chiller??

    Don't run hops through the chiller unfiltered. Get a filter to prevent hops from passing through the chiller. Otherwise you may have difficulties sanitizing later. I accidentally had hops pass through my chiller and it took a long time to try and flush the hops out and never got them all...

    EXTREMELY High FG On My Imperial Milk Stout

    I would let it ride or perhaps choose a yeast that has better attenuation to chew through the rest.

    Can't hit Tripel gravity

    As for oxygen, i hit all my beers with a 5 min dose of pure oxygen using a .5 or .2 stone (can't remember the size)

    Can't hit Tripel gravity

    At a calculated 77.4% attenuation, I'd say you got what you could from this yeast. Max attenuation being 78%. Also, according to the guidelines, 80 degrees may be a little to warm for that yeast. My advice is to try and hit your target OG by diluting in order bring it down, therefore you...

    Can't hit Tripel gravity

    What yeast did you use? You got about 77.4% attenuation. Did you liquify the cane sugar before adding to the fermentor?

    Is a 4.79 Mash pH too low?

    In an effort to get my mash pH down to 5.3~, I calculated my water and added 5oz of acidulated malt to drop it. This was in accordance with the advanced water tool calculation on Brewers Friend. My protein rest yielded 4.45, while my Sac rest at 147deg measured 4.79 pH. Are there any know...

    How Much Priming Sugar for One Gallon Batch?

    It depends on your target carbonation level, which is typically based on the style of the beer or simply your preference. It's my belief that the temperature used in the calculators refers to the temperature of the beer at the time of bottling (when you put the cap on). Because the priming mix...

    Jelly like substance in wort?

    I made a small batch for yeast starters and refrigerated a few mason jars of wort. When I opened them today (1 month later), there was a darker substance and a jelly like substance at the bottom of the jar. Any ideas as to what it is? Proteins? Bacteria? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using...
