Thanks all. Flaked wheat is interesting to have in a West Coast IPA. I think more NEIPA with flaked wheat in the grain bill.

I've never been blown away by a (not double) west coast IPA I've brewed, except for an all Maris Otter IPA I brewed, that was really good. But I'm sitting on 40 lbs of 2 ROW so I'd like to brew with that. I've tried recipes for Bell's Two Hearted, Sculpin, Zombie Dust, a bunch of my own and...

Thanks, I don't know why I'm thinking the second dry hop would be any different than a normal IPA. The first "bio-hop" just kind of threw me.

Thanks, I was at 68F. I could use my auto-siphon I guess, but I might just let 'er ride. What do you think about my second dryhop charge?

I brewed a NEIPA and wanted to early dry hop for "biotransformation." I may have jumped the gun, I brewed Saturday, pitched ~ 10am. I tossed my first round of dry hops in this moring on top of a high krausen. So, about 48 hours in. Now I'm reading it maybe should have been done when gravity...

Here's my first attempt

Ordered Wyeast 1318 from morebeer for a NEIPA, it arrived with a date of 2/24! So I got a starter going with 1.75L, after adding yeast I had ~ 2L so I split into two beakers and left on strr plates (I have 2) for about 36 hours. One of my stir bars sucks and I had to keep getting it back going...

So I got it halfway setup with the Harbor Freight Bauer 1/2" drill. I need to secure and support the drill still, but it's enough to get by for now. I tried a .040" gap and it seemed like there was still alot of whole uncracked grains, so I set it to .038". Am I living dangerously jumping...

I have a 1200RPM 1/2" Drill Master from HF, that's probably too fast?

Done! Cancelled the Malt Muncher, ordered a MM2 kit direct from Monster. Already have a 1/2" HF drill laying around. More than I wanted to spend but I think I'll be happy with this setup. Love the made in the USA!

Very nice. Yes, $500 is more than I want to spend. I was really just looking for some user experience. Maybe others out there had bought an entry level mill like I'm planning on and found it too small for 10-20 lb batches. I think I will try to upsize to the Monster Mill 2 if morebeer hasn't...

Ok, let me rephrase - you guys are very literal. Is it going to be a pain in the *** because it's too small? This I believe lists a 6 pound hopper. I have regretted going entry level in the past. Example - I process my own wild game and bought an entry level meat mixer from Walton's. When the...

[Fixed Thread Title -Mod] I ordered the Malt Muncher 2 Mill my morebeer for $99. The more I look at that thing the smaller it looks. I typically use 12 to 20 lbs of grain per batch. Will I be happy with this mill? It hasn't shipped yet so I might be able to charge my order.

Thanks all good info, I will calibrate it next time and maybe hold off 10 minutes on the measurement? The reason I bagged the sparge addition is it read 5.3 initially then some lower numbers later. I used to just add a little acid malt in the mash

It was right after mashing in, I did not calibrate. It was a cheap homebrewfinds deal so not too worried

Awesome thanks that makes me feel better. I skipped my sparge addition but will have to invest in a better pH pen

I try to adjust my water using Brun water but I am really winging it. I pretty much try to add phosphoric acid for pH and add a bunch of gypsum for IPAs. Right now I am mashing 12.25 lbs 1.75L Weyermann Pilsner in 4.9 gallons water and added 5 ML 85% phosphoric acid. I have a PH meter that read...

I decided I'm going to exchange for the drop tube version. I liked the idea of less to clean, but mounting will be better.

Got a spincycle short from brewhardware and need some advice on the location. It needs to be to the left. I was thinking of putting just a tiny bit higher than my dip tube, basically almost above the vent hole in the bottom. I thought I could put some foil tape over this vent (maybe bad idea...
