• Posted in thread: Full Volume Mash vs 1.25 qt on 04-29-2013 at 07:39 PM
  Bobby-m's second point is what concerned me. If you already did full volume BIAB then keep
  doing your same full volume recipes. But if you have never mashed that thin, you can def run
  into pH issues. ...

• Posted in thread: Simple electric boiling question on 04-14-2013 at 03:19 PM
  That the brand I used from Home Depot. Price was very similar too. People typically worry about
  the watt density but my standard hot water heaters get black but have never given me any taste
  issues. I...

  In response to el_caro:I see some of the more senior brewers in the board say they just dump
  the whiole pot in. I really need to just try this. I suspect you get the same beer but more if
  it. More tru...

  I'm not jb experienced so I am not sure what to do there. If the pot is not ruined I would
  change the connection to a seal and nut style.not sure if you still have that option. If not

  112897Tried to insert a pic, maybe it will work. This is a beer that I was going to dump about
  6 weeks ago. Primary tastes great but out of secondary It tasted awful. I was going to dump
  then and ther...

• Posted in thread: How does this look for my first go at BIAB? on 04-02-2013 at 12:48 PM
  After my first couple brews I found that Safale US-05 dry yeast is way cheaper and about as
  easy. Good replacement for the smack pack 1056. Just a thought. You can go either way and this
  will be fine ...

  Look for something with a good metal chuck that can operate at lower speed like 300-500rpm. I
  don't have specifics tho, I use a cordless dewalt.

• Posted in thread: Why would you not mash ALL these grains? on 03-08-2013 at 01:51 AM
  It seems the true difference here is mashing dark or light and where your pH is at. I always
  mash with my roasted or crystal to help lower my pH for my lighter ales. I want the dark malts
  to lower my ...

• Posted in thread: BIAB dunk sparge & water additions on 02-24-2013 at 04:52 PM
  The minerals don't boil away. But one reason they need to be there is for pH. So brunwater is
  looking at the mineral context for mash and not really the boil. As far as sparge goes, I would
  worry abou...

• Posted in thread: How long to let the hops rest? on 02-23-2013 at 09:42 PM
  Search for beat hop aroma and go to the link at the endof the thread. It explains with testing
  what to do for what outcome. Sorry I don't have the link handy. I did a hop stand last night
  for 30min at...
