That makes scence, thanks for the information. I am used to doing 60-90 minute mashes, I had never seen a recipe that was less than 60 min mash. That was throwing me off. Thank you once again for setting me straight!
I'm hoping someone can explain the term " mash in". I've been brewing for a while now and I thought I understood what it means. I've always thought it was the act of adding the water to the grain at the beginning of the mash in the mash tun. But as I was reading Mitch Steele's book about brewing...
Thank you Big Floyd. I appreciate your input. I noticed in your reply that you said that 3 vials in 1.75 liters equals 500-520 billion. I used 4 vials. What would my numbers be with 4. I am looking at Mr Malty and my numbers don't quite match with yours, its probably my inexperience. Thanks Again!
I'm looking for a little help from my friends here. I brewed my first lager this weekend and I think I under pitched the yeast by quite a bit. It was a 12 gal batch. The OG was 1.053. I made a starter with 4 vials of Southern German in 1750 ml of DME and ran it on the stir plate for 24 hours...
