I wish time would go faster, I'm anxious to try this beer! I'll do a gravity check tomorrow (6 days post brew), and we'll see where we're at. BierMuncher, what's your opinion on secondary fermentation with this beer? Necessary or no?

I think that's the strike water temp, that will then level off to the 150 mark when combined with the amount of grain that he's using.

One more question, if I plan to force carb this beer, should I let it ferment longer? and does a secondary vessel get me anything with this one? Looking forward to this beer, smelled great coming out of the airlock this morning.

Old post, I know, but I just made a kolsch, 5 days fermentation was done with a starter, 1 day in the fridge at 35, racked to keg, and forced carbed, and drinking in 7 days time. It's actually better than I expected, in fact, it tastes a lot like the kolsch I get from one of my local brew pubs...

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone has used a manifold of sorts for a single pump to run their all grain system? I'm looking for a 4 port manifold for the inlet and a 4 port for the outlet. On each port of the manifold, I'll place a ball valve, but using combinations of a inlet valve and outlet...
