WhatsOnTap said:Not to get off on a tangent, but why do they say not to squeeze the muselin bag with the specialty grains? I sparged with 2 quarts hot water last night but I wanted to SQUEEZE IT! I resisted the urge though, until I took it outside. Nice brown water came out, seems like a waste.

Got them at the home brew supply store along with the specialty grains etc. Owner pretty experienced. Came from a brewery in Anchorage and a long time home brewer. The wort seemed normal. BTW, I used a Fermentis Safale 56 yeast - no starter, just sprinkled into the fermenter. Pitched at 7pm - by 9 next morning was bubbling away 1 per second. Second day 2 per second. Glad I used a blow off setup as krausen had pushed up into the tube. I used tubing the same diameter as the airlock. Is their any danger of the tube clogging?Walker said:the oats add a silky smoothness to the beer.
Question for you regarding the oats: what kind of oats were they?
