Hi Im a former biab user and just now I have updated my system with Braumeister 10 litre version. I have a question about the affect of sparge and effiency. So, I have done one mash with 2.8kg of malts and 12 l of water... and I used no-sparge. With this the mash-effiency was 59%, Preboil...

I designed a recipe that has only whirpool hops after 60min boil and dryhops later. I had a little family emergency and the boil time something like 95 minutes. So there was more boiloff and less wort after the boil. I still use the same amount of hops as in the recipe (just whirpool and...

I'm having hard time to configure my equipment profile in brewfather. I have a 7 litre kettle. I star brewing by heating 6.4 litres of cold water. After adding water additions I separate 1.4 litres to another kettle (for dump Sparge later). So now my volume is 5l in main kettle. I heat that...

Does anyone use beergun with bottling bucket? My process is now to purge the bottle and then use spigot and a bottling wand to put the beer in the bottle and then purge the headspace and cap the bottle. (I add the priming sugars to the bottles before the first purge.) Im wondering if I could...

Hi. I have made few good neipas, but I would like to make the body fuller and foam little better. My Malt bill has been like this: -Pale ale Malt 74% -Simpson's Malted oats 19% -Simpson's caramalt 5.5% -Acidulated Malt (ireks acid) 1.5% (Mashed at 67 celsius /153F, 60min) (I do water...

What is this black thing floating in my neipa beer. Nothing black in the ingredients. It just floats there. 5 weeks in the bottles. And it's in all the bottles, not just this one. The stuff you can see in the neck is undissolved sugar (I think) . I added sugars straight to the bottle.

I used Voss Kveik for the first time. I used it in the allgrain Neipa recepy I´ve done before with s04. I reached a steady FG in 2 days and bottled in day 4 with priming sugars. Usually after one week in bottles (using s04) I take one bottle to taste and its already tasting good. But now the...

Thinking about buying new kettle for smallbatches and biab. The first option is tall and narrow pot and the other one is more wide from the top but not so tall. (The bottom diameter is about the same.) Can anyone tell me the main differences/ advantages/ disadvantages in using one or the...

Basicly I would like to watch my beer in the glass fermenter remotely, and I could easily do it if the fermentor could be in room light. But it has to be in the dark right? So I wonder is there a type of light that I could install in my closet that wouldn't spoil the beer in the fermenter? For...

Hi. If I want to try first wort hop addition, what hop should I use? Normally I use Magnum for bittering. Should I use that or is the whole point of firs wort to use more flavored hops, maybe Citra or Cascade or Mosaic? Any ideas or wisdom to share?

Hi I bottled yesterday, and after I had the half of the beers bottled, I accidentally knocked the autosiphon so that the slurry from the bottom got little mixed to the beer in fermenter. So the rest of the bottles have now more matte-color beer while the first bottles have clear beer. Does the...

I used us-05 yeast that should have attenuation of 73—77%. I counted that my attenuation was 68%. But I bottled it anyway. OG 1.080 FG 1.024 With 73% attenuation the FG should have been 1.020. Fermented in primary for 3 weeks at 20C°. It was a one-gallon-batch. So what do you think? Does...

I have few batches fermenting now. I put one hop addition at flameout ant took it of after the chill was complete. Is this a bad thing? Will it make offflavors? What kind? First batch has mosaic at flameout and the other has Simcoe80%-Citra20%

Hi. Can put all my malts in a biab bag and when the water is at strike temperature I just put the bag in to the kettle (and stirr the malts)?? Everywhere is said that biab bag should be in place when adding grains at strike temperature, but I dont really understand why it has to be this way...

Hi. I wonder if there is any opatacles in doing a small 1 gallon biab system? For now I have done only steeping + extract, but I'm intrested about biab in this small volume. Put some pictures of you have 1 gallon biab yourself :) Ps. Here's a picture of my kettle. (It's 1,58 gallons) ...

Hi to all. Greetings from cold and dark Finnish winter. I got a father's day present from my wife: a book about homebrewing. (she's the best). It told about how easy it is to make good bear by steeping and extracts. This was one month ago. Since then I have read 7 books about homebrew and...

Hi. I'm making wort by steeping some Malt and using dry Malt extract. After steeping, can I just add boiled hot water and add the dry Malt Extract. Or is there a reason I need to add cold water before extract and then turn the heat up? Let me ask this way: Does dry Malt Extract have to be...
