Yep you are right. Even 8ml seemed like a lot to me but i haven't ran it in beersmith yet. Are you doing closed transfers under Co2? Or can i just do the usual purge of keg with starsan and then rack into keg? I'm really worried about oxidizing an expensive batch like this. How long is the...

I have never had one of these but is that really 8oz of hops shot!?!? I did not think they were that bitter.

Thanks for the lead on the sale! I have been setting the gap on my cereal killer to .35-.39. I did get a stuck sparge on a rye ipa. Now i use rice hulls. My efficiency was 82% on my last two.

I'll take it if still available!

That's awesome! Great idea.So essentially, to make braggot one needs to mash and boil as if making a beer and then just load 30-40% or so of honey into the fermenter?

Do you think this could be a new feature that is handled by a controller? I don't see why logic couldn't be built into the controller to do this.

Shoot, I took northern brewer's word for it that the "Briess Black Malt" was the same as the black barley. What i think i got was black patent malt. So i used 8 ounces of it by accident. Is there anything i can do to maybe hide some of the black patent? Maybe add a little coffee or chocolate to...

To be honest i think i would swap out some of those hops unless you are trying to use some up. I think most of them have pretty low oil levels and are better for lagers.

i have just used up some 5 year old grain that was stored in a very nice air tight container and it kicked out a very nice brew. It wasn't crushed though.

Im thinking that tube is nice for when you want to throw in some hops but the chiller is sitting on the grainfather. That tube, if it goes through should send the hops to their home.

I was just forced into a 30 minuted boil because i double charged my "60" minute hop addition with CTZ when brewing up the wry smile rye ipa and realized it after i did it. I don't forsee any DMS poking though but we will see i guess!

Yep it all looks current. I think there was some confusion and part of it may have been caused by me. Yes, there was version 1, but that was only released to the blokes across the pond. Version 2 is what was shipped to the US. Version 3 i assume is the the one with the connect controller...

This is the first I have see with no stamp. What is the date code on your mfgr sticker? Mine is 1115.

Well my first run with the grainfather last night wasn't very smooth. To start with, I neglected to add any rice hulls in my denny conn's wry smile rye ipa, so the mash drain and sparging went real slow and was pretty much stuck. Then, I proceeded to double charge my 60 min addition with...
