  I've found a mashout is helpful for wheat and rye heavy beers. It helps if you keep the grain
  bed above 160 so the starches are gelatinized: .OK, thanks, I didn't know that. I will crank
  it up a bit...

  I don't have all my information with me right now. I have done > 50% Wheat before but I'm sure

  use my 10 g...

  Update on my 1.090 OSG brewed a week ago Saturday. Last night the SG was 1.025. I usually

  to keep them goi...

  I brewed this today, my first ag batch and ended up at 1.081.I surprised at the people who do

  I brewed this on Sunday, and boy did it look gorgeous after cold break.I used ~ 19.5lbs 2row

  was a bit in...
