    Double batches in a Brew Magic

    Hi, I am curious if any of you that use a brewmagic type system do double batches. I find it difficult to remove all the hot grain completely to start the 2nd batch behind it. anyone have any advice on how to smoothly run back to back batches? I would like to make maybe 30 to 40 gallons at a...

    Low OG and Stuck Fermentation advice? Thanks

    I use the online calc at brewheads to convert the brix to specific gravity but running the numbers I had. Original RI (°Bx): 9 Final RI (°Bx): 6 Wort correction factor: (Default: 1.040) Original Gravity: 1.0345 (8.65°P) Estimated Final Gravity: 1.0148 (3.77°P) Alcohol by Volume...

    Can you add honey to primary or secondary Fermetation to add flavor and boost ABV?

    Thanks, I guess I am at wait and see mode now. I often through a pound of honey in when I make Ales but I have not had this low OG problem or a stuck fermentation before so it will be interesting to see what happens. I guess the best thing to do is be patient and let the yeast do its thing...

    Low OG and Stuck Fermentation advice? Thanks

    AH. I did not know about that calculation! Is there an online calc for that or manual? I started when i pitched the yeast at 1.034 then after 13 days its stuck at 1.024. This was with no additional calculations just straight test w/ refractometer I think it got to cold so i warmed it up to...

    That could be the problem, going to high on the mash? could that negatively affect the OG?

    Can you add honey to primary or secondary Fermetation to add flavor and boost ABV?

    I was thinking about boiling it with some water and a little yeast nutrient since since my primary fermenting is stuck at 1.024 anyway, that way I kill 2 birds with one stone, boost ABV and unstick the fermenting. How long is a long time to get through the honey? another week? Thanks! :mug:

    Can you add honey to primary or secondary Fermetation to add flavor and boost ABV?

    I have a low OG orange/honey pale ale, thinking of adding honey to primary or keg with honey for secondary fermenting in a keg. Anyone tried this before? Thanks

    Low OG and Stuck Fermentation advice? Thanks

    I only have kegs so I was thinking maybe secondary fermentation in a keg with honey added to kick it up a notch? I an sure on the FG as I as using a refractometer and benchmark it with distilled water prior to each test to zero it out. The only yeast I can get here is what I bring in, Safale...

    Hi, First thanks for your input/advice. This was my recipe 17.6 pounds of Pale Ale malt 17 gallons of water (I usually do 1 to 1 ratio but have been told lately that might be to low though it has not been an issue in the past). System is a Sabco Brewmagic if it matters 1 hour rest at...
