I usually mash at around 1.5qt/lb. As for how much water you need is largely dependent on your brewing setup. No one can really answer your question with what little information you provided.

I'm currently looking at a used Brew Magic from 2011. I'm curious about this issue and what it's cost you to try to fix. Have to determine if this unit may be too old? Regards, Adam

Very interested. Please email me at [email protected] Is that a sabco chill wizard in the pictures? Is that included in the package? How is the fermenter cooled and heated? Cheers Adam

Very interested. Can you please send additional photos to [email protected] I'd like to see the inside of the vessels and just some more detail in general. I'm near the Akron, Ohio area so local pickup is no problem. Cheers Adam

I like to keep the crystal malts low in my IPA's, somewhere between 2-5%. When they get much above that I find they interfere too much, for my tastes.

I am looking for a 1bbl setup; kettles, mash tun, stand, fermenters, etc. I am in the NE Ohio area and willing to travel a little distance for something nice. Please email me at [email protected] or PM on here (response time on email will be quicker). Cheers Adam

I'm very interested in this setup but unfortunately I'm in Ohio...

I'm getting ready to brew 5 gallons of this tomorrow. Got the starter of 3711 spinning on the stir plate as I type. I'll be in a similar situation as the OP; it's currently 3ºF where I am at in Ohio. Tomorrow should be closer to 10º when I start brewing. This will be my first saison and if I...

I just made my first oktoberfest yesterday. Actually getting ready to go pitch the yeast this morning, since I could only cool to around 65f with my coil. My recipe went like this. 5.5 Gal batch 4lb munich 3.5 vienna 3.5 pilsner .25 melanodian .25 caramunich I 1.25 Hallertau at 60min .75...

I just brewed this for the second time, two days ago. My mash efficiency was much better then the first time I made this and hit 1.111 with no dme additions. I used my LHBS O2 setup because they didn't have a O2 regulator in stock for me to buy. This was the first beer I used O2 to...

Just brewed 5 gallons. Had a little higher efficiency then normal and hit around 1.043 OG. I made a starter for the WLP-001 just solely for the fact of keeping a pint manson jar from the starter for a future brew. The main reason I picked this beer was so I could harvest a pitch for my RIS...

I mashed at 153-154F and pitched a 1.7L starter of 1272 into about 5.25gal of 1.060 and just took a gravity reading after 5 days and I'm getting 1.013.

Yeah, i did. I also noticed they didn't have them for sale or a list of distributors. Not sure if that's because they are still going through legality issues or not. But the guy replied to me a second time and said he was going to put parts in the mail that should help fix my problem.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to share my experience with Chi Company and Vent-Matics. I purchased 4 "Vent-Matic" faucets from Chi Company in late 2013. I have been using them since then but almost always get some sugar build up around the bonnet. So it's leaking around the...

I was looking for a rye pale ale recipe to brew this weekend and I think this may be it. I might bump up the rye malt though.

I just brewed this yesterday. I brewed a 5.5 gallon batch and added 10% to the grain bill to account for my usually crappy and inconsistent mash efficiency (~66-70%). I actually got about 74% instead and overshot my gravity, hit 1.056, which isn't too off I suppose. I aerated and pitched my...

I used a hop sack so there isn't any hop debris in the carboy. So I should be good there.

I brewed this yesterday also. I hit 1.106 but added a pound of DME to my boil to give me about 6 more gravity points to account for poor efficiency (~60%). My brew buddy came over to help and he suggested just racking the entire wort, trub and all, in the carboy. He stated that Jamil said...

Why is the bottling volume only 3.5 gallons? I was thinking about making this and noticed the volumes. If I wanted 5 gallons in my keg then would I need to up the recipe?

Has anyone brewed this recently? Any changes? I just made my started today and plan on brewing this saturday. I thought I had cascade hops in the freezer so I only got one ounce. Turns out I had simcoe in the freezer. I don't know if dry hopping with simcoe in place of cascade would be bad...
