reviving old thread. if you fly sparge how/when do you take your first runnings gravity? How does this work in the equations by not having first runnings volume?

I'd be interested in hearing more on question 1. I made a peach milkshake IPA and went to transfer it to my SK last night. My FV has the floating dip tube. I had a hell of a time getting it to transfer. I'm not sure if it was the floating tube, the amount of fruit/hops or carb level??? It seemed...

Any tips on adding dry hops near end of fermentation? Every time I open the keg the foam rises like a mofo even after releasing pressure

Did the OP get this fixed?

Did the wine yeast help? I have a similar problem

I tried the water profile adjustment and compared it to Bru'n Water. In BS3 I get a mash pH of 5.61 vs BW 5.41. I noticed the numbers for each addition in ppm is spot on except Calcium and Chloride. 71.9 Ca and 113.9 Cl in BS3, 88.3 Ca and 142.2 Cl in BW. Any idea on why so different? Also, I...

So i didn't cut my gas tube and filled a little high. Some hop gunk reached the SV inlet and apparently clogged some. It looked like CO2 was still getting in, but I didn't think anything of it until last night when I went to open the FV and noticed a **** ton of CO2 trapped in there. A bit of a...

Awesome!

How did this end up doing in the competition? Brewed this recipe yesterday with a few changes. No boil hops, 4oz in WP. London Fog yeast and my typical water profile. Excited to try this.

I'm interested in this method as well. Even without the dryhop 2 I'm wondering if it's ok to transfer a fully carbonated beer cold/slowly or will it create enough O2 to oxidize the beer? Thoughts?

sorry for late reply. Below is what i used. I estimated a 60% efficiency but got 55% and added 2lb DME to hit OG of 1.129. It was the first time using the coleman so i missed my mash temp by 5 degrees or so (it was cold outside and took awhile to fill that sob), but i think it was a good thing...

I brewed a 6 gallon batch using the percentages above. Did a no sparge mash hitting 55% efficiency in my new 70qt Coleman Extreme. OG came out to 1.129. It's still fermenting like a champ 4 days later. I plan to age for a month in a 5 gallon Balcones Barrel then bulk age in a keg for 6 months...

Which recipe are most people using? I'm ready to try a big beer like this

I have the edelmetal burner. I recently converted a keg to a kettle and my first 10 gallon batch took the burner about 45min to come to a boil for 13gal of wort. I know it runs on a 10psi regulator. Will swapping in a 30psi regulator help or is that dangerous? I'd hate to get another burner, but...

Kegged mine yesterday. It looks great. The taste and aroma is pretty amazing too.

if you just kegged it's still young. did you cold crash? could just be tasting hop particles that haven't settled. I've done that before.

cool thanks. I brewed it Saturday. We'll see how it comes out.

did you do your 0.25 oz apollo (azacca) addition at 10 min or 75min? I'm going to brew this up soon. Thanks

Is it necessary to add baking soda or pickling lime to the kettle to get pH back up?
