Haven't had it in nearly a year... as I remember it's a little darker in color with a fuller mouthfeel... BU:GU is higher... I attached recipe for Two Hearted from Bells website on original post... 1.5 X grain bill gets me to target of 11% and the label on Double Two Hearted says they use 2.5 X...

I want to brew a clone of Double Two Hearted but am not sure how to adjust the hop schedule. Using the base recipe, from Bells, for Two Hearted I've calculated I need about 21 lbs base malt and 15 oz of hops. Regular Two Hearted has 45 and 30 min additions plus dry hop. I don't think just upping...

Is it possible to mix too much or too vigorously? I used a paint mixer during dough in for my last batch. I ended up with a stuck sparge as if the grain had been milled to fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it just me?

I use a Grainfather and am trying this for the 1st time. Equally split 32 lb grain bill and 2nd resulted in a stuck sparg . Is the answer to just add rice hulls to 2nd mash step? Any other pointers? Can't find much information about this process online...

So I have a huge layer of krausen on my latest IPA... I tossed my dry hop pellets on top... they should settle in and do the job, right? OG 1.084 been fermenting 10 days... added 1 oz each of centennial and columbus.

I realized the water below the grain bed will remain at strike temperature until it has time to circulate after dough in. I finally fixed my bluetooth issue too. Anxious to start my next brew. Thanks for the assist!

I appreciate your prompt response. I realized the temp probe is below the grain bed and it takes a few minutes of recirculation before it provides an accurate temperature... I have the latest version of the app but still seems incompatible and won't establish a bluetooth connection...

I just brewed with my Grainfather today and am concerned the control box is bad... Bluetooth won't connect to my Galaxy S9 Temperature reading is all over the map (pics included) Is this common? Advice? Ideas?

Ransack the Universe by Untitled Art in Ontario.... super fruity

Maybe a 2 tiered system with top bucket full of ice draining into lower bucket that feeds the pump? Do you think this would reduce flow rate too much? Assume I would need to start with enough water to ensure the pump doesn't run dry... I'm trying to avoid the need for running water/drain.

I have limited spots in my home to connect the Grainfather counterflow chiller. I was thinking of using a pump to create a self contained system where ice water was pumped through the chiller and recirculated over ice to keep it cold during the entire cooling process. Has anyone else done this...
