So I washed a batch of wyeast American ale according to a thread on here using one big and 4 small mason jars . I'm going to make a 1 liter starter and pitch a small mason jar into it to get it going. I am also going to use a stir plate to help it grow. Does anyone know if the amount I'd be...

Tasted wort theu the whole process and took ph readings

Last batch I batch sparged by draining tun completely , added 3.5 gals of 212 water to mash out at 170. Held that temp for 10 mins and made sure to stir water and grains when I first added water . Then I began to drain into boil pot and poured another gallon or so on top of grains thru a...

Lol maybe!!! This sucks because I did a lot of research onto what you should do to get good effeciency. I thought I was doing it right!

Yeah it was constant the whole time

Sorry the recipe had more in it , 6# two row, 2# pilsner, 2.4 rice , 7 oz carapils and yes I have a false bottom

I cool it down to 80-90 degrees first

Was milled a lhbs and I had him run it 2 x for all batches. I read with BIAB you get better results with a finer crush

Water ratio was 1.25 , which was 3.6 gal . I just mixed in minute rice right out of the box as I had read on various forums that should work . BIAB : I read in "brewing classic styles " about doing a stovetop partial mash . This was how it was done: heat water to 167 add grains stir and let...

Thanks mbtb I will try adjusting my temps down and using that method next time .

I dough in at 167 which droops the temp to 150 that's where I'm mashing

Ah yes I forgot about that . I will stick with 60 thank you

Anyone have any problems with doing a 30 min boil vs a 60? I'm considering it and I will be doing all grain

What I did was a batch of BIAB and pulled my grain bag our if the sparge pot (batch sparge ) and set it on top of a cake drying rack and poured my wort back thru the grain bag to filter it . So it all splashed down into the pot from 10 inches high at the highest. Then began my boil

Does anyone know what splashing your pre boiled wort will cause ? I have herd you should not do it.

I just started BIAB mashing in 1 pot @ 150 degrees for an hour then I batch sparge in another pot for 10 mins @ 170 . I usually do a three gallon batch with about 7# of grains . I use a 1.5 qt to lb water ratio , I fill my boil pot up and usually have some water left in my sparge pot. Foes...
