Made a smoked molasses porter with it turned out great. Nice smoke addition.

I can see how that would change things. Do you have a reccomended technique or type of sparge arm? I currently use a copper tubing that sits on top of the grain bed that has 1 in from the HLT 4 outlets facing the top of the kettle. Kind of looks like a big H from the top outlet on each tip.

I will try sparging slower. That could be the trick. As far as the depth of grain if i look in the keggle it is about an inch below the lower rung if that makes any sense. If I had to guess maybe 3-5 inches thick.

As far as temp I am holding pretty well. maybe 2-3 deg at most. and I make sure I sparge pretty slow. About a gallon every 2-4 minutes.

To answer the question on the Eff differece I can hit high 80s with a larger grain bill and with 10# and under I am at 70 and under. I would say a good 15 points. When you say dead space do you mean the space between your screen and the valve. I know on most the pipe comes up and out the...

Curious what some of the opinion/facts some of you more seasoned brewers think about fly vs batch sparge and the amount of grain. I have keggles for everything and fly sparge. I am noticing that I am having higher eff with larger grain bills over 15 lbs. 10 and under are significatly lower...

funny you make this post I am having the same issue with a smoked molasses porter that I made last weekend. Used Cali Yeast and have never seed the simmering effect on any of my beers before. It is first generation yeast so I don't think that had anything to do with it but it was almost like...

They were mangos from the local chain super market they were having a sale. .50 cents each. Some were super ripe and others not so much. I cut them off of the pit/seed and took the skin off too. 6 of them I cut into 1 or so inch peices and then just cut 1 or so inch strips in the other 6 and...

I was looking at Papayas the other day as well but they were fresh. Made a Mango IPA a that I am drinking on now and it is great. Ended up adding 12 Mangos to this batch 6 to the first (not enough). Not to much fruit but a nice hint of Mango.

Live in East Nashville ordered my hops rhysomes from midwest and they have all started. About 6 inches of growth so far. For you guys in Nashville there is a new shop in goodlettsville. Rebelbrewer that is pretty good. Good prices but odd hours. just google it.
