Re: On the comeback trail! Possibly ebiab.

Thanks for the reply @ Scott . Definitely some things to think about and some things I have begun to think on. The local HomeDepot carries the sheets of plastic and I am going to use it as well as vinyl flooring. I am second guessing the drain barrels and am leaning towards running a drain into the ...

Re: The quest for a new setup

I've been thinking of the Wort Hog myself. Looks like a great system. Are you getting the whole kit with the boil coil and pump?

Re: On the comeback trail! Possibly ebiab.

You'll be back MS. You will need something to smooth out your nerves after all the espresso caffeine! It's good to take a break for a bit. I'm feeling more anxious and excited about being able to brew again than I was after my last couple of batches.

We are actually quite responsible. With windshield banners, decals and clothing we draw some attention to our name. With these targets on us we have to behave and definitively don't want to be the person embarrasses the group. The group motto is "wheel, beer,repeat." We wheel during the day and part...

Re: On the comeback trail! Possibly ebiab.

I am planning on running a hose to the shed and being able to reel it up and store it indoors to keep it from freezing in the winter. For drainage I am planning on burying 2 plastic drums with holes drilled in them. When they built the neighborhood they removed all the topsoil and put down a few inc...

On the comeback trail! Possibly ebiab.

Hey all! It has been a while since I've really been around, but I'm getting back into brewing. After 2 moves and picking up an expensive offroad Jeep hobby it's time to get brewing. The Jeep group I now belong to is called The Drunken Beavers and they are eagerly awaiting me to get brewing also. I h...

Welcome Beestbrew
As a fellow Canadian I thank you for your military service.

You shouldn't need much more to start biabing, probably just a bag. Have a look around and at the Biabacus and we'll get you on your way

Re: My first brew ever - a mini-BIAB All Amarillo APA

Very nice write up! Don't be in too much of a hurry to package the beer. Even though you have reached your target gravity the yeast is still working at cleaning things up. You may be on target tho having gone this long. I typically go 14 days but that us because I usually have Saturdays to myself. 1...

I have one of those ss hop baskets. I liked the idea of and I got it on a presale/ trial deal. It is come shaped at the bottom and seems to trap and clog with the pellet debris. Another problem I had is that I use a 15 gal pot to do 5 gal batches and the wort level isn't high enough to reach up the ...

Re: First attemp at BIAB

Nicely done and great pics!
In the pics you seem to have your lid on during the boil. I'm not sure if that was the case but it is not recommended. DMS precursors are boiled off in the steam and will be reintroduced to your wort if the lid is on.

Re: Pressurized fermentation using a spunding valve

Very nice MS. Since moving I have gone back to my fermentation buckets until I get my dedicated brew shed built. I still ran into issues keeping pressure so I need a space and time to investigate my problems.

Re: Actual Values and BIABacus

Your dry hop addition isn't going to add any bitterness just flavoring I believe. The biabacus sees this and scales the rest to hit your 50 ibu goal.

Re: Mash temp and time of mash.

To ensure the best mash we recommend 90min mashes and stirring on occasion. The stirring helps wash the sugars from the grains.

Re: Newbie Fermentation question.

I would not try it. Lagers are more of an advanced brew and you really need to be able to control your fermentation temperatures. The yeast will probably do some kind of fermentation at 17 but it won't be very good. The yeast will be stressed and give you off flavors. What you could do is get a clea...
