Pretty high gravity Wit made with 4 lbs of flaked wheat and 4 lbs of pale. Around .51 OG. Used White Labs Wit yeast...cant remember the strain. Before pitching i swirled the wort in the carboy until it was nice and foamy - swirled for prob a few minutes. Pitched a bit warm...it was a hot...

I have a 10 gallon cooler that i have converted via FlyGuys's article. I am about to tweak it by inserting a compression spring to keep it from collapsing via the article by nostalgia. Do you guys just allow it to lay in a relatively straight line on the floor of your MLT or do you guys make a...

Good morning. Ok - going all-in. Placing first bulk grain order. Sick of paying high prices at my local HBS store for 1lb here...2 lbs there. I really want to buy the 55lb bag of Marris Otter. Figured i'd get alot of use from this. Two of my immediate recipes (Wit and an Oatmeal...

Tried to brew the Wit today. Tried.. Ran into a stuck runoff that couldn't be fixed. Thought it was the Flaked wheat and perhaps my mill was set to fine. Finesse went out the window. I was trying everthing. Even scooping out the mash and trying to manually sparge with a collander. Pulled...

Good morning - I'm looking to make a Cream ale in BeerSmith- The recipe calls for a 60 minute boil but the ingredients list the hop boil for 90 mins? Also - being a newbie to AG brewing, If the ingredient list calls for corn flakes, I'm not sure if those should be mashed or simply...

I'm trialing BeerSmith (will probably buy) and i'm trying to personalize my setup. Currently i'm doing AG with a 5 gl Gott cooler MLT and a Chiswick Fuller keg as a brew pot. I'm guessing it's somewhere around 12 Gallons but does anyone know the exact volume? Thanks guys

Afternoon everyone. Making my first AG batch this Saturday and tweaking my 5 gl version of flyguy's conversion cooler MLT. I was initially not able to find a 5/8" SS washer so i bought a 3/4"...sort of worked but the nut on the female barb adapter on the inside was not really able to grip...
