I read i need a ph between 5.2 and 5.6 to make the most of the wort enzymes. I have yet to make my first all grain batch so need to know beforehand how stable the ph of the wort would be during the mash process. My water ph is 7.4. How much can i expect the ph to drop with a 1 litre (metric)...

Great. Thank you for those links. More information to try and absorb. I have no plans to develop my own beer at this stage, just was curious about the relationship between hops and AAU%. This info most helpful.:rockin:

Will try my first all grain brew soon. Still a few things i'm not sure about preventing me from getting started. Hops Not sure how much to add and what the outcome will be, too bitter or not enough. Is there a guide or chart that will let me know the outcome of adding hops in AAU% to lbs...

Thanks for the comments. Know what to do now. Cool then filter. :) Hop Strainer for Bruheat Boiler, The Home Brew Shop Boilers and Mashing Equipment Are their any benefits to straining wort through the hops rather than through a fine mesh bag or do they both equally produce same quality...

No pics. Just need to know do i chill the wort first before filter through the hop bed?:drunk:

Yes that's right. I'm concerned about hot side aeration. I'm planning on dropping large amount of ice into the hot wort to cool it using the pot boil method. My concernes are I have to cool wort rapidly but if i I do this then will it still filter throug a hops bed? As hot side aeration...

o.k Maybe i got confused somewhere in the reading. So it would be o.k to pour large amounts of hot wort from one large vessel to another without any kind of problems resulting to the brew ? I think i will try my first all grain brew by boiling in a large pot with hops in a bag method. Then...

Hi all, I'm about to try my first all grain brew. Have been reading quite a bit but still not absolutly sure about the stage from boil to cold break regarding oxidation. I was thinking of buying a bruheat boiler with the copper attachment that fits at the bottom and is used with the hops...
