    first running/ double mash

    Yeah. I brew a ton of stouts and want to try a even higher finishing gravity then normal. Last Imperial milk stout I did (just won Gold at the sunshine challenge ) started at 1.132 and finished at 1.050 but it had a 1lb of lactose in it. I want to go a bit higher on both the starting and...

    first running/ double mash

    Cool. Ive done the water calculations like you've done above except I added in the MT dead space. Do you know a formula that would approximate the gravity of those running's? Yeah its going to be a very high starting gravity. Aiming for around 1.150 -1.160 with a finishing gravity around 1.065

    light beer getting darker after kegging

    That's what's getting at me is I know I do more than most when it comes to eliminating/keeping o2 at a minimum. I've been brewing a while now and never seemed to have a problem even going back to my extract brewing days using buckets. I did try putting some in a hydro flask and it looked very...

    light beer getting darker after kegging

    I do push sanitizer through the keg but then take the lid off to dump out the last little bit of sanitizer, put the lid on, fill and purge at 20psi a few times then remove the lid, rack the beer and purge 2 more times before setting carb pressure. Maybe ill build some type of contraption to do...

    light beer getting darker after kegging

    I haven't yet because I purge the keg with co2 and you can still see the keg full of it when I remove the lid and start to transfer. you can even see the beer as it fills up pushing the co2 out so I figured there wouldn't be any o2 in the keg especially after purging it again right after...

    light beer getting darker after kegging

    so before transferring from primary to secondary I purge the carboy completely with co2, then transfer with a 3/8 auto siphon with the tubing running all the way to the bottom of the carboy so it doesn't introduce oxygen. When kegging I do the same thing. Purge the keg with coz then transfer...

    light beer getting darker after kegging

    So I've been having a issue brewing beers with a light SRM. So the last beer I brewed was a Whie IPA. All through fermentation it had a nice bright straw yellow color to it. It was a little cloudy but that's to be expected usin Wheat malt and a Belgian yeats that doesn't floc well. After I...
