    Buttery off flavor / diacetyl.. Troubleshooting

    Everything was perfect during the brew day. Tasted when I checked FG and the beer tasted great, minimal O2 exposure. When I went to bottle, I tasted a slight buttery flavor, and a slickness to the tongue. I thought it may be the Motueka hops as it was my first time using it. Cracked a bottle 1...

    I got resolution! I cranked the heat in my place and raised the room temp to ~72C. Started getting some activation and hit my OG mark of 1.012! I tasted the sample, and that taste is still there, but now very faint... I had one batch that I threw out because that flavor was overwhelming, and...

    I have a digital display of the mash via probe. I mix mash frequently to distribute heat. If it starts heading towards 64C, I turn on heat, and heat to 70C, mix, shut of heat. I usually only have to do this once, if that, cause my kettle it well insulated.

    I purchased purified water from the store. I checked PH levels and added a PH stabilizer into the mash. I haven't added yeast nutrients as I have never needed it before.. For the yeast profile:

    Switching from DME to All Grain.. BIAB?

    I have 4 used half kegs Ill be transforming into Keggles with 4500W elements and temp controls! I used to use propane, but with a toddler around, there are some safety issues leaving the pot unattended.

    Switching from DME to All Grain.. BIAB?

    This turned into a battleground quick haha. If I were to do the sparge method, I would need a HLT with controlled heat @ ~65C roughly. What are methods you have seen for accomplishing an effective sparge witha a bag? Lift the bag out over top of the pot and run the sparge water over it?
