The pump was working fine. Low flow. I don’t think it was the rice. I’ve used rice before. I’ve never used used flaked corn. I’ve read that corn can be sticky but once I dumped the malt pipe into my old cooler tun, I was able to get flow. I’m going to chalk it up to the corn as being sticky. Of...

Mashdar, here’s what I did. The first time I raised the malt pipe, I noticed it wasn’t draining. I do this to mix the water on the outside of the pipe with water inside the pipe. I then stirred the top 2/3 of the malt and then raised the pipe again. Still did not drain. I then stirred all...

Appreciate the reply. I did come up .1 gallons shy on my finale volume. Not much but also it was only a half pound of Minute Rice. I reread the recipe. The following is from Biermuncher post #1. “The grain bill is cheap and in this case, you can use Minute Rice instead of flaked rice.” Also...

The recipe called for flaked rice. I substituted the flaked rice with Minute Rice. Minute Rice is is already gelatinized. I think I’m fine there as far as conversion. I was just wondering what caused the stuck mash recirculation. The flaked corn, the Minute Rice or the tight perforated disk on...

I grind my own. I condition them so the husk are completely intact.

Recently brewed BM’s Cream of 3 Crops and got a stuck recirculation on the Anvil Foundry 10.5. 6#’s 2 row 2#’s flaked corn .5#’s flaked rice (Minute Rice) 5oz Acidulated I conditioned the grain and milled on top of the adjuncts. Then mashed in and stirred. Sat for 10 minutes and then started...

YeastFeast, I see you don’t have cats. I had to go to the short black plastic handles because the cat liked to rub on the tap handle. Come home to an empty keg and a mess on the floor. They can turn them on but can’t turn them off.

You could also attach 3/4inch x 6inch boards around the collar. The extra board would then slip fit over the freezer. Attach a foam sealer to the bottom of the collar to seal. I used 12 inch boards.

I also go the water report online from the city. Last year’s report. They are comparable.

Thanks for the input guys. That’s great info. I thought the Calcium was a little low. But what do I know just getting into this water treatment. I was not aware that I needed to triple the sulfate number. I made a WCIPA from distilled water a couple of months ago. That beer was absolutely...

How so on the interesting? Curious. Just trying to grasp what I’m looking at.

When I enter into profile do I put the bicarbonate at 44? Or use the total hardness?

I know this thread is a few months old but I though I’d add a comment/question. I’ve brewed on the 10.5 about five times. One observation I had from one brew session was what appeared to be a stuck mash recirculating. To correct, I slowed down the flow and stirred mash and that was helpful...
