    Missed starting gravity

    Ok. I have the one without the pump but I bought a chugger pump and I use it when I mash. I just regulate the flow as best I can. Does a good job of keeping even temperature throughout the mash.

    I use the Brewer’s Edge mash & boil. Wouldn’t that be considered a BIAB or eBIAB?

    What kind of mil would you recommend and where could I find one ?

    This makes so much sense. Thanks a lot for the information. I’m always looking to improve my brewhouse efficiency.

    I crushed the grain at the homebrew supply store. I’d guess that they’d have the mill in spec.

    Hi all. So it has occurred to me that I originally got my pre boil gravity reading before sparging when I should have done it after sparging before boiling. That is why my pre boil reading was 1.062 instead of the estimated 1.041. Now my measured BH efficiency is 75%. But I didn’t hit my gravity...

    Hi, i brewed a belgian witbier today and the estimated pre boil gravity was 1.041 and the actual pre boil gravity was 1.062. way too high. now the estimated post boil gravity was 1.046 and the actual post boil gravity was 1.038. way too low. i mashed for 60 minutes recirculating at 148 degrees...
