And on the "wort collected" box on that calculator, is that pre-boil or post?

Also, @tennesseean_87, brewhouse efficiency is different from mash efficiency, no?

My target mash temp was 153 and I hit it. Was still 153 after the 60 minute mash. The only thing I can think that made a huge difference was the amazing 85% attenuation of the yeast. 2 packets of rehydrated safale us05.

Hello all! So, just mad the plunge into AG equipment over Christmas and brewed the first batch last week. Been racking my brain trying to figure out what my mash efficiency was. Here's the breakdown: 11lbs 2-row pale 1lb caramel 40 Target post-boil OG of 1.066 Actual post-boil OG of 1.058 After...

Hey bud, I know this post is like 5 years old, but I came across it after looking for some Oktoberfest Ale recipes to draw ideas from. A few questions: How did it turn out? Have you changed the recipe for the better since making this one? How did the Nottingham yeast do? Did you use light...

This looks pretty tasty. Is Carafa III noticabley different from Carafa II? I used the II.

Here were the specialty malts I used. It definitely could have used some more beef in the roast department. Possibly a higher lovibond crystal. I don't think I would care for chocolate malts in the mix, however. 1.5 lbs 2-Row Caramel Malt 10L; Briess 0.75 lbs Weyermann Carafa® II; 0.5...

For reference, I had a little crystal 10l, Carafa II, Pauls Roast, and Light LME. Kinda boring.

Please help me name my IPA I brewed this week in honor of my Mavs willing the NBA Championship! Here's my recipe: Partial Mash 1.5# 2-row Pale 1.0# Munich malt 1.0# 20L Crystal 0.5# Carapils 5.5# Light LME 0.7oz Magnum @ 60' 1.0oz Cascade @ 15' 1.0oz Amarillo @ 15' 1.0oz Cascade @...

I want to know who thinks they have the best black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale (whatever you want to call it) recipe or key recipe input. Is it one you've formulated, tweaked form a commercial recipe or purchased from an online vendor? I brewed one a while back that was pretty tasty, but lacked the...

Right on. For me, it's Deschutes' Twilight Ale at the moment on this 98 degree Dallas, Texas, 70% humidity scorch fest of a day.

A-effing-Men! +1 million! Hahahaha

I also giggle every time I hear that from Miller. As if that were some novel idea. HA!

Funny you mention that. Just saw a Heineken add in Sports Illustrated that said something like "our can has ten indicators that tell you when your beer is cold... Your fingers. No gimmicks." or something like that. Made me laugh.

+1 million to Eno's!!! They have their draft selection up on their site right now. On of my favs there at the moment is Deshutes Red Chair. Also, the Old Monk, at last check, has a cask conditioned keg of Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey that as out of sight!

Ahem!.... I mean... Howdy!

Aloha from DFW!

Welcome to the obsession, my fellow Texan brethren! I'm in Grand Prairie.

I could drink this one for the rest of my life and be very happy. Good choice!
