OK recipe changed a little from above. Went with .5 lb Carafoam instead of one lb., Upped base malt .5 lb. Went with 1 ounce Perle for IBU of 13. Runoff is clearest I ever have done. Its brewing right now. Over shot preboil gravity as usual. The IPA I kegged is going to be awesome. David

Version IV going on today. III was excellent, but s little too good. OG was still too high, so I went down on corn and grain. New version for 11 gallons of beer, or 2 full kegs when its all done. 8 lbs american 2 row 1 lb carafoam malt 3 lbs flaked corn 2 bs flaked rice. 3/4 ounce pearle at...

Ended up with OG. 1.051. Still a little high. Will see how it tastes before I make adjustments. I ran out of home brew a couple weeks ago. David

Yes, basement temp. I wait till it gets down to 66 before Beer season starts. It’s about done mashing. I used 4 lbs flaked Maize 2 lbs flaked rice 10 lbs Breiss I have my own mill Mashed 144 because I missed for 15 minutes. Raised to 149 for an hour, then 151 for 1/2 hour. Now...

Thank you, I am in the right track. I will add the baking soda to the water before heating. David

I don't really understand the tool, and cannot open it on my android. If My mash ph is 5.0 after dough in, do I add Baking soda to bring it near 5.4? Tried this and made a volcano. :) I may be able to download the program on my work computer, but thought I would ask here. I make 11 gallon...

Made it twice. First batch the only grain I had was Marris Otter and it came out a little too much. Next 11 gal batch I used Klages and added 1/2 lb light crystal. Both batches came out just over 5%, I was shooting for 4, so less grain next batch. Second batch looked perfect. Nice head...

You are looking at a $3 diffuser stone. I bought a 2 micron stainless steel diffuser. See the difference? Just pony up if you want better beer. I am a welder, so I get a 80 CF O2 bottle and regulator for free. David.

Conical fermenter just has a valve at the bottom of the cone. Open and let the stuff flow out. A jar would be the same. You can SEE what is in it. David

I use a conical fermenter. I dump the first trub on the first day. After about 3-5 days the yeast comes out looking good. David
