Thanks for the reply . I assumed the 5.5 based on time and previous brews but I did wait for the right temp for my hydrometer reading

Thanks for the input. I'm just baffled by the jump from 1.050 to 1.1060 After a 90 min boil , I've never had so little boil off. Thanks again for the answer , ill keep working at it too ha

Hey guys I am completely confused sonim gonna get straight into it . I brewed a beer this evening and after a 90 min boil I only jumped 10 points on the hydrometer . My equipment has been calibrated and the only variable is that my measure stick may be off. Heart are some numbers , please help...

Yeah that's the first thing I did , it seems fine. Thanks for all the feedback . I'm delighted I was able to achieve that kind of efficiency. It was supposed to be a hop ottin ipa clone but I think that plan is out the window haha.

Wow that's way past anything I have ever gotten before . Does it seem a bit high for the grain bill I used .? 13lbs pale ale, 2 lbs Munich and 1 lb caramunich . I want to believe it but it seems so high

Here is where I get confused. If I have the efficiency at 78% and a pre boil gravity of 1.063 at 7.5 gal .. Can I just work out the maximum efficiency for 5 gal and find 78% of that ,and that would be my og at 5 gal. ?? Not sure if that works though

I live in Korea so this was the easiest hydrometer I could find. I will invest is something better . I used potential pale ale 38. Munich 35 caramunich 34 , these were in how to brew and on hopsville . Thanks for all the help , very new to all grain and delight to be understanding everything a...

Hi there, I recently started working out my efficiency using the how to brew book. I have confused myself beyond belief. I wonder can someone help fill in the gaps . Also I brewed and ipa and my hydrometer only reads up to 1.066. Can I use the information I have to work out or Guess my OG ...

Thanks for all the help . I think I'll play it safe . Cheers

Thanks for all the replies. From my limited knowledge carafa2 is the only black malt on the market. I think roasting my own will be the option. Could I roast a pilsner malt or pale ale malt. ( I have plenty of each) ?

I'll take any advice or hints you may have for a solid stout minus the roast. I can get Carafa 2 .

Yeah sorry flaked and roasted barley. Yeah there is really only an online shop option here . I'm pretty new to brewing so I'm still unsure of what should be on offer. My guess is that roasted barley and flaked barley are unmalted so they are not stocked but I have no idea if this is true or...

Thanks for that. I'm in south Korea. I can get most malted grain but can't find flaked or wheat barley . I am following jamils dry stout recipe which calls for both but was having no luck

Hi , I'm looking to brew a simple dry stout. My issue is roasted barley is unavailable where I am . I have found roasted oats . Will these add a similar caracteristic to the beer or is it way off? Thanks for any help

Ok thanks . I'm happy to set and forget too. Most videos show the shake so I thought it was the best method . I'm happy to take no risks . Am I right in saying you can't over carbonate setting to serving pressure . ? If so how do you reach a desired psi. Like the charts show for different...

I , I have searched and searched but found no solid answer. Do psi levels change with a smaller keg?. I am afraid to go ahead with the shake method just in case I should go easy because it's a smaller keg. Thanks for any feedback . Sorry If it's a stupid question , this will be my first time...

Thanks

I Searched for this answer but found no definitive right answer. So hope you. An help. I recieved a vial of wlp300 hefewiezen yeast in the mail from my brew supplier . When I opened it it was partially frozen . I looked up what to do and made a starter. . Nothing much happened and against...

Ok thanks , I'll give it s few days and see, If the gravity stays high would you just leave it ??? Or swirl it s little , thinks for any help
