Beer Calculations

If you have 2 pints of beer and I have 10 lbs of grain, how many bottlecaps do I need to boil?

I think the answer is 152 degrees.

 

[harleybug88]

None.

 

[harleybug88]

No. What...wait, what?

 

[hunter_le five]

Yes.

152 is a little high. That's gonna thin it out. The bottle caps, that is. You don't want thin bottle caps.

You sir are a genius. This has been puzzling me for over two decades. Thank you!!

This was only a test.

I see most of you, besides hunter, didn't account for the sinusoidal deplenaration.

No. The answer is 157, because you can't mash a hydrometer with a partigyle.

But you can mash a whirlpool into the krausen, cant you? You know, to agitate the tannins.

you need to rack off the lees first, then get the mash to a ph of 7.2 if you don't do this before mashing the whirlpool you'll ruin the must.

:banghead:

A pH of 7.2 must be subdivided by the barometric pressure to get the optimal rack size of doubleD.

You guys are all wrong. The answer is all of the above. And vorlauf.
