I have a fluid dynamics question.
If I start with a 3/16" dia line then step it up to 3/8" will I lose any slowing of the flow I achieved from by 3/16" line, from a line balancing standpoint?
In other words, will the beer in the line speed back up in the 3/8" line?
thereby making any length of...
I have been searching around and others have talked about this question but I never seem to find a concrete answer.
I have a K-rims 2 vessel electric re-circulation system. Basically a Breweasy clone.
The question is: During re-circ mashing, which temp matters more for conversion and...
I just tried a new method of line cleaning and it worked so well I had to share.
I used to push the cleaner (BLC) through the lines with C02 through each tap individually.
This time, I jumpered the taps together and used my Chugger pump to push the cleaner. I wasn't sure if the pump would...
Thanks for the encouragement Squaremile.
I've been reading the no boil thread and it looks like you have done quite a few of these.
I think I might switch to whole hops to keep more of them out of the cube and drop them to 5 oz.
The recipe is intended to be similar to a Bell's Two...
Squaremile-
The recipe would be something like the following for a basic American IPA:
8.25 Gallons total water 5 gallons into no chill cube
15 lbs American 2 row
1 lb caramel/crystal 20L
2 lbs Munich 9srm
Based of 58% efficiency I'd be looking at an O.G. of 1.065
yeast - WLP001

jddevinn - I'm concerned about this as well. I wonder it if will make a very thick beer. I'm not sure if using gelatin after fermentation will clear the protein or not. I think there are other protein clearing products out there I'll look into as well.

I'm thinking of trying a no boil no chill combo and wondering if anyone else has done this.
I have a 2 vessel electric re-circulation system with my element in the BK.
My thought is:
-Do a standard re-circulating mash at 150deg.
-Add the FWH hops in the BK while still re-circulating and ramp...
