This got my 1.048 down to 1.036, but no further. Went ahead and bottled mine though and it is amazing. My OG was 1.115 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app

Try 3.2 gallons in one hour. That's what happened to me last brewday, and I did not have the thing turned up very high. You are correct, this thing is a beast!

Subscribed to hear updates as well! Just got the KAB6 for father's day and brewed my first batch, a honey porter, on it Thursday. This thing is a beast of a burner! My first runnings were boiling before my sparge (batch) was done!. I have to pay attention to my boil off rate next time to...

Brewed this up last week and fly sparged for the first time. I don't think I have a good grasp on the whole fly sparging thing and ended up with 9.5 gallons in the boil kettle at 1.051. Boiled it for for almost 3 hours and ended up filling my carboy to the neck with 1.081 wort. I should have...

I just bought the ingredients for this and will be brewing as soon as I get the maple syrup...going to Aldi tomorrow. This will be the first beer I have dry hopped and from reading the thread understand that it is to be done in secondary for anywhere from 1-3 weeks. Should I add the hops...

I just bottled this last night. A couple weeks left...can't wait!

Just an update on my fermentation. It was so strong that i had to rig up a makeshift blow off tube setup. It stayed at that rate for over 36 hours. Strongest fermentation I've had yet. Oh, is smelling wonderful!

Brewed this up yesterday. Been around 12 hours in the fermenter and bubbling along nicely. The wort tasted awesome and can't wait for this one to finish.

I bottled this Monday and just couldn't wait and opened one today. It has pretty decent carbonation already and is absolutely amazing. Not only the best beer I have ever made, but the best I have ever had! All I can say is "wow!" and keep drinking! And to think, it will only get better as it...

You won't regret it!

I mashed for one hour and let the sparge water sit for about ten minutes

I'm must guessing that it took about 6 hours from the time the first water went on the burner, until the yeast went into the wort. Give or take a little...

I made the jump to all grain after doing 4 extract batches. I made Jamil's Blonde Ale that I found in the recipe section. I hit 1.047 for an OG which gave me a brewhouse efficiency of about 78%. I was pretty happy with that. 4 days later, my brew is sitting at 1.010 and is a beautiful golden...

I made this as my very first all grain batch since it seemed so simple. Brewed it on Thursday, June 28th and hit 1.047 (78% first time efficiency). Last night it was already down to 1.010. Can't wait to get this carbed up in bottles and try it! I've made a couple Mr. Beer kits and 4 extract...

Polk County, do you have an good home brew stores down there?
