How sure are you that you started with 2kg? Did you weigh it out yourself, or check the weight of what you were given? That could definitely be the problem. I just assumed the weight was 2 kg since that's what I ordered. Maybe my LHBS was generous and gave me a bit more. I'll have to start weighing...

I did a stove-top brew yesterday and got 95% end of boil efficiency :shock: I've checked my numbers again and again because I thought there must be a mistake. My efficiency into kettle was the same which suggests to me that it wasn't due to misreading the volume or gravity. I mashed 2kg pilsener mal...

After much procrastinating, I finally did my first stovetop BIAB yesterday :D . Only a few small hiccups along the way. Either my kettle isn't as big as it's supposed to be or the jug I used to calibrate the kettle was inaccurate. Either way, I had to remove some water when I added the grain to stop...

Got up early before the kids and wife woke up and mashed with a quick boil at the end. Did the full boil in the evening after kids had gone to bed. About 12 hours in betwe...

I reckon it will, I'm using a 4 ring burner and only need 2 rings to maintain a good rolling boil of 32 litres. With all 4 rings firing it goes from mashout (77c) to boil in 10 minutes. So 3 will be heaps, will just take a few extra minutes to get there. Thanks Hashie. Do you use a standard BBQ typ...

OK. If I give the wort a quick boil (5 min?) and then cover with foil and put the lid on it should be OK for a day or two? If I no-chill it in a cube instead would that be better? Can you tell me a bit more about overnight mashing. How's it done?. Advantages (if any), disadvantages (besides those al...

OK. So after reading the responses to my original post (thanks everyone) and the IGB info Ralph posted, I have made a few conclusions. 1. Lagers need longer boils than ales (depending on base malt used), mainly to get rid of DMS. 2. Longer boil times may aid with clarity. 3. Boiling hops for longer ...
