1.5 gallon? No wonder, problyu only takes 1 min to step in temperature. I'm 15 gallon and I recirc too. Not to sound rude but your step advice isn't good for people 5+ gallon, its not realistic.

I have a PID controlled mash ton too. Do you have the long probe or short probe because if its short your mash temp is not accurate. You should always double check with a long wand thermometer too. In the end I'm just saying most people likely have mash temp control issues whether they know it...

Or simply pick one temp and have a beer for 60 minutes instead. You mash likely have all kinds of temp variations within the kettle anyways without screwing around with it.

Its a lessons learned with all this entry level technology int he home brew space. Countless threads with these fancy toys and the companies going out of business shortly after usually from bad leadership and/or too many equipment failures and warranty repairs.

Pictures! :) I'm a bit noobish on what you were mentioning. Without pictures or a diagram I am a bit lost. Thanks for the boil info I always have to screw with mine, its the number one thing I mess with on brew day. I will try yours.

How are you doing that exactly? I want that lol!

It has to be a lot of iron to taste metallic. My guess it was a bi-product of fermenting processed foods.

The dansatar version of that is A$$.

6 row, flaked wheat and oats are the best options.

Agreed. I would 1000% never use oreo's or any commercial product made with chemicals in a home brew. One should never ferment chemicals at any time as you don't know what will happen to them as they are fermented. Even if the ingredients look "ok" you also don't know the effects of them being...

Well I put 2 fans in there running off a PC power supply, that seems to be working for now.

I have been using my cooler with great success. I bypass the main power with the controller put my probe in my fermentation tank, set temp, and all is well. Till one warm day.. Water all over my floor! Because of the controller running the main power it doesn't allow the cooler to runs its...

Too bad 10 amps only.. My cooler is 15.

Thats really slick! Can you make fermentation schedules with it?

I have dry hopped more than 50% of the beers I make in the keg, with 90+% being pellet hops. I have zero issues with tea balls, muslin bags or paint straining bags. I Always put stainless weights on them so they sink to the bottom. I tried leaf hops several times and on all accounts the beers...

Sweet! I'm looking forward to it!

I think you guys need to cut me some slack here, there isn't a lot of info on the yeast and I was trying to help people out but giving the info I accumulated as one of the early users. Just because I choose not to share my exact recipe at this time doesn't mean I'm the fricken anti-christ. I...

Hey Mark, I cant post the recipe I'm going to commercial brew here in a couple years and I don't want to give up recipe secrets at this time as I used a few tricks/gambles that really paid off as this gose is beyond fantastic. What I can tell you is go more pilsen than wheat, even when you...

My portion was 6.4 US gallons or 24 L. 1.6 yeast packs. No starters. 1.057 watered down to in the kettle to 1.053 SG (wanted low 5% beer for this style) 1.013 FG 5.2% 74%AA I still have 17L in the fermenter but I cant stop drinking the gose in the mini keg. Funny thing is I think...

Drinking it tonight, its commercial quality and it tastes equivalent sourness to the 2012/2013 Gueuze Tilquin (1 year old) in comparison but I feel min is higher quality over the commercial comparison due to the freshness and not taking a boat rider to North America. I lifted off the lid...
