    Bad efficiency with Kolsch--Global Kolsch issue?

    Same thing happened to me last weekend! Had to use some Global since the LHB ran out of 2-row (who the F runs out of 2-row?). Missed my SG badly. I've chalked it up to some mash temp issues but this has me reconsidering....

    20G Blichmann Boilermaker HOUSTON

    Dang, that's a good price! We paid tax through the LHBS. Looks like we'll have to eat the shipping or sell it local.

    Analyze my brew day

    For the Kolsch grains, BeerSmith doesn't have a profile loaded and I couldn't find one. I assumed potential of 1.036 based on 75%. No - mash was pretty thin. Very similar to our first brew on this set-up. Next time we'll do a better job on our mash temps, I'll Iodine test to confirm...

    20G Blichmann Boilermaker HOUSTON

    They are $400 new, plus tax and shipping for most. I'd let it go for $350, that saves someone local $50+ $35 in tax, and no shipping. Plus you can come enjoy some beer or the brew process :)

    20G Blichmann Boilermaker HOUSTON

    We've brewed two times in our 3 x 20G Blichmann's and have decided that we need to upgrade the boil kettle to 30G. This is the standard 20G with lid, sight, thermometer, and ball valve. You can choose either of the two (the third is our mash tun and has a hole drilled for sparging), though...

    Analyze my brew day

    On our first batch with this equipment we mashed for 90 min, and then lautered with the valve open full bore - REALLY fast - and still hit our number. It set a bad precedent :) This time I lautered at half that speed. I kept the water level steady from the auto sparge input - but it was still...

    Analyze my brew day

    that is known, kyrolla. looking for tips on where I could have went so wrong. need to hold mash temps more accurate and more consistent? lauter slower (from reading seems like this should take 36 - 54 minutes for the ~18G I wanted)? Is my beersmith SW off somehow and I needed more grains?

    Analyze my brew day

    Would like to add this to BeerSmith. No luck with my google searches. Anyone know?

    15G Batches - is 20G Mash Tun big enough?

    The calculators show that I can probably do about 45lbs of grain and still have a LITTLE space for fly sparging. 45 lbs of grain might limit me on how many 15G batches I can do. That's my read, so I was looking for any definitive answers, either a) no sweat, have a homebrew b) spring for a...

    15G Batches - is 20G Mash Tun big enough?

    Planning a set-up with a 20G BK to be able to get 15G in the fermenter. With AG am I going to run into any issues with a 20G capacity MT (and false bottom taking up space) and fly sparging? Should I go bigger?

    Blichmann Boilermaker for MLT/Boil Kettle/both/neither?

    How do these works as MLTs? Do you have to keep flame on them, or will they hold temp pretty well in ambient conditions? Anyone wrap theirs in some sort of thermal material?
