I have put a beer into a keg without filtering and it comes out very cloudy and still with hops in it. Clogs really bad. I would think putting it into the out would not do much for filtering. I am no professional either but don't see it working to well. I also agree. You need a psi or 2 of co2

Looks like what I've been doing except at the wrong temp and maybe not as long. This does help me understand why my gravities haven't been right. Guess I've been mixing things up all since I went to partial grains. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Most recipes I've read online have a little wheat but I think you may be right. I may have to much. I will look into taking it down a bit.

Looks like its time to break out the books and read into what is the difference between mashing and steeping. A quick Google search basically told me but I like to check my books just to make sure. Yeah I have read less time = more aromatic thats why I'm considering going to 60 min.

Should have read that more closely. I'm steeping.

Your right. I could use a little spice. I think i will try that. I have always done my grains at 165. Defalco's in Houston has that on all their recipes so I have always stuck with 165. What would you recommend and why?

The program I use is beer smith. It works well. It said I will be a little over the ibu for an American ipa but I may shorten the time to help that. Plus I like it a little more bitter.
