That’s a good thought. I had considered it but don’t think about ordering it til I’m already mashing in. I used to wrap my kettle when doing boils in a 10gal pot on my old stove. Was only way to get it boiling before I bought an outdoor burner. An amazon order is in my immediate future before I...

I do mill and with a pretty tight gap. When I used to cooler mash with stainless braid, the mill gap was a little bigger (credit card width) and my eff was closer to 70-75.

I’m no perfectionist so probably not going to chase it too far. I’m biab and averaging over 80% mash eff. Close to 85. I pull the bag, give a good squeeze then transfer to another bucket and drop it into 175-180F water for a few min. Then squeeze the hell out of it again. Used to do 5 gal...

Brewfather app. Pretty spot on.

Been trying something similar. Concern is the bottom gets too hot in the sweet spot for alpha amylase and the top is in the beta range ultimately making for a more fermentable wort. At least that’s the half assed working theory. Maybe if I just hit my dough in temp and let it fall it’ll be where...

Done and done.

I was giving it some lagering time before giving an update. I hate threads without closure. It’s not bad at all. A little soft. Could’ve used another 10 ibus. Also been dialing in my process since moving to biab 2.5 gal batches. Mashing in a 5 gal pot on the stove and been struggling with...

Not looking to enter it into any comps, really just need a descriptor for sharing with the club or friends. Although I like your line of thinking.

Thanks. I was thinking the same. Appreciate the input.

I brewed what was supposed to be a belgian blonde with Wy3787. But I made the cardinal sin of not smacking the yeast pack before brewing and it was dead. I even pitched it into a starter and 24hours later still nothing. I had a couple of non-belgian dry yeast options and decided to pitch Cellar...

I frequented a Nissan Frontier forum back when I had an older model that I was making repairs/upgrades to. Once I upgraded to a newer model several years back, I stopped visiting. I have a very utilitarian view of vehicles and was only there for instruction/answers and to post how I repaired...

Interesting. Thanks for solving the mystery.

Yeah, we were on bikes and trying to snap quick pics cuz we were running short on time. Thought about cropping but decided to hell with it.

Don’t know what this is between Watou and Westvleteren but thought it was interesting.
