using 10lbs of 2 row and 2 lbs of wheat-- after your mash collect about 7 gallons of wort. if you add .6 oz of Hallertau Mittelfruh at 60 and .4 oz of the same at 5, given the AA you provided and using brewer's friend that gives an estimated IBU of 20.8. super simple supre tasty

cool. keep us posted

so it looks like you have about 9.25 pounds of a base malt and 2.5 pounds wheat. This gives a ration of about 27% wheat to base malt. I make a simple blonde ale with 80% base to 20% wheat. Its super easy and enjoyable across all spectrums of beer drinkers. The last batch I did used 20% flaked...

@k-os Do you find there is a lot of waste beer in the cone of the Flex, or is it mostly trub? How many gallons of wort can you safely add to the flex+? Thanks

I am in the midsts of looking how to make my own glycol chiller. I just bought an air conditioning unit off Facebook. However, if my math is correct, I can fit the two FLex+ in the refrigerator. So glycol today is not going to happen. The Spike line allows me to upgrade as time goes on. I was...

Honestly, I am considering two flex+ vs. one CF10. I guess I forgot to mention that. The reason I like two vessels instead of one is I can use different yeasts and dry hops, etc.

Hi all... I am in the market to upgrade my equipment and I think I have settled on Spike. I am looking at the Flex+ vs. the CF10. In an effort to save money, I think that my purchase will be the flex+. I have a refrigerator which (I according to how I measured....), will fit the flex+. This...

curious about this recipe. I did a dopple and it turned about pretty good. I think this style is quickly becoming a favorite.

I love 008. It is a slow eater though, especially at your current temps. I would wait just a little bit before adding that extra dose of dry hops. I mean you dont have to but if you want the yeast to eat all the can, I would not be surprised if it took at least another week or two to finish. If...

This just sold.

Was your DIY chiller cold enough? what temp did it get to? So I have glass carboys which I have manufactured to kinda keep air out. Once fermentation is finished, I swap the carboy cap out with a new one. The new one has a balloon on one of the antena while a racking cane is in the other. The...

Greetings, So I am in a bit of a pickle. I am about to dry hop my latest batch but see that my old refrigerator no longer works. I have no place to cold crash the beer once dry hopping is complete. Here's the question: Without using bags or any other item to store the hops, (my process limits...

So to add a little more food for thought: I added 3oz Kenyan roast (whole bean) to a blonde ale. After 24 hours I started taking samples. They ended up steeping for 3 days before I removed them. I thought the coffee flavor was perfect. It was smooth and flavorful... not over the top, no green...

I would like to sell my Ss Brewtech Chronical. The system is the brew master edition with FTSS cooling and heating abilities and pump. The chiller coil is side-mounted. There is an extra sample port attachment with extra o-rings, 2) neoprene jackets and extender legs. I am a modest brewer and...
