As far as full volume mash, it was a last second decision- literally me pouring water one liter at a time and nervously glancing over at my large bowl of crushed grain. Next time I think I can squeeze that .8 gallons into my 5 gal kettle. Yeah, it was Keystone's Citra PA. I loved the hop aroma with...

Thanks heaps thy. That all makes sense now. I have lots to write in reply but it might take a few days due to long normal work bours and computer playing up - typing this on my phone! When I do write back here, one thing I'll talk about is how 100% kettle efficiency does not actually mean you have ...

thylacine, I have had your post above marked as something I have wanted to reply to before it slips away. It sounds like an excellent experiment but I/m not quite understanding what you did sorry. For example, I'm not sure if you sparged Batches 2 and 3 with plain water or the 'sweet liquor' from B...

Hi Soccerdad, Re: "...that BIAB meant Full Volume Mashing and that the rinse (sparge) occurred IN the full volume of brewing water. What was perhaps not stated, but what I understood quickly was that NO SEPARATE sparge step was needed..." Sparge trial: Once I began full volume BIAB I ceased any form...

Recently purchased insulation material from Clark's Rubber for my 30L aluminium pot. Stovetop, gas. "Formshield", 10mm, $28 per square metre. Rated up to 100c. Was enough material to place two layers around my pot as well as bottom and lid. Used it today and am rapt. e.g. much faster heating and goo...

"...Does anyone do it this way?...) Yes. I have No-Chilled my last 14 stove-top batches and will continue doing so. The previous two years utilised a water bath as per your description. My process includes: 1) Flame-off, immediate pouring of entire kettle (most anyway...) via funnel into cube. Latte...

Just wondering how people clean thirst their brewing bag after brewing. I've brewed five batches so far and my brewing bag smells a little. After brew day I run the brewing bag under water to get all the grain out and then let it dry. I guess I could use PBW to clean it, or maybe star san? (those a...

Re: "...I lifted the bag at the end of the mash and then bought the wort temp to 78 c then dropped the bag back in for another 10 mins. Lifted the bag after this and let it drain while I bought to boil? Is this the right procedure...?" Many advocate leaving the bag in while heating up to mash-out te...

Hello BobBrews Can I wash or use yeast cake the way you do , after three weeks of fermentation or should I rack to secondary after one week to 10 days ? I fermented two IPA beer about 1 week.before I used Safale 04 and I don't have more that's why I want to re-use yeast cake Thanks[/quote] Howdy Kaz...

Thylacine, I am a Seppo, so I have to say "Good Day", "Well done,Sir" and "Good for you" and "yes, a Bar-Be-Qed Shrimp would be nice" Because if I say "Wus up Dude, You in the know, or is it going Down" may not be understood across the World. "Really?" "Oh really!" "Really..." "ummm, really"

Joshua, "...G'Day g'day, how ya going?..." Slim Dusty song, YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT331BRkkP0 http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/g'day http://www.australia-week.com http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html ie. "G'Day : hello!" Cheers mate (might/mite) ;-)

Interesting. If I grew a third leg from drinking home brew I reckon I'd get less grief from the Missus :smoke: Thx Bob brews Or, you can take the opportunity to "top crop" (harvest) yeast. eg. http://karlisbeer.blogspot.com.au/2010/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... arboy.html I am...

PP, I save at least 75min per O/N mash. Uncovering at 53-56c rather than at 59-61c (90min mash) doesn't take me much longer to reach mashout temp. As soon as I empty the bag I mash in the second batch. Two pots... "...ie. generally 53-56c when uncovered. Then straight on to my gas stovetop to a 78c ...

I think another problem with the overnight mashing Lars is a time one. Overnight the mash is going to lose a lot of heat and so it is going to take time to heat it back up to mash temps meaning the time saving is not going to be as real as it appears. My overnight mashing experiences (usually 10-12...

I bottled my first BIAB today, an APA hopped with Centennial & Cascade. Being my first BIAB & not knowing what to expect, I ended up with a much higher OG than expected & slightly less volume so I ended up pitching the yeast after watering the brew down to my starting OG of 1.049 from 1.061. I ende...
