    First foray into All Grain - Is my grain bill too weak?

    That is correct a slight cooking so that they don't gum up in your Mash. get them cooked then dump them in with the rest.

    with 5# of grain and the adjuncts your OG on this is only going to hit somewhere between 1.024-1.026. and around 2.5%ABV

    Poor Efficiency- looking to improve

    Crush should have hulls intact and just a wee bit of flour.

    For a two gallon batch it looks like you should end up with a pale 5% if you hit 60% which should be too easy. I am sure it will be 70%

    Help brewday in progress

    If you are doing a 90min boil roll it 30 min then add your bittering hop and go from there. Or you could do a FWH it would effect the end bittering but unless you are competing with this brew I would not worry. RDWHAHB!! On the forum there is a brew day timer do a search and snag that. It...

    Going to try a mead again - need a few pointers

EC-1118 is a good yeast, I used it for the second two and WL sweet mead for the MAOM. Definitely aerate really well and give it the nutrient and energizer.

    Saison....Warm fermentation????? Why?

    Alright I am going to make a Saison Brasserie Dupont Clone. My question is why the warm darn near hot ferment temps?
