I was going to go with 3/16" liquid and 5/16" gas since I've read these are standard sizes. That's why I was confused about the mismatch disconnect sizes.
I plan to use barbs for the gas side since I don't see why I would need to clean those in all likelihood. I plan to use MFL for liquid side...
I'm only seeing Corny ball lock quick disconnects with 1/4" barb connections however, it seems like many people use 5/16" for gas line and 3/16" for liquid line. Is there 5/16" and 3/16" quick disconnects? I cannot find any. Or do people just use the 1/4" disconnects and the lines fit...?
My OG was: 1.040 so I guess if I get middle attenuation for WLP300 I should end at 1.010 which gives 3.94 ABV. So I guess I can call this a session blonde hefeweizen...? :)
I wanted to make a Bavarian Hefeweizen with the following grain bill:
5.5 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt
4 lbs German pilsner malt
but somehow at my lhbs I only grabbed
2.75 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt
4 lbs German pilsner malt
so the ratio of pilsner to wheat is way higher than I intended...
I'm starting from RO water and I'm using the Brun water calculator with the Munich (boiled) profile. How does this water profile look for an authentic Bavarian Hefeweizen?
Ca: 11
Mg: 0
Na: 8
SO4: 19
Cl: 9
HCO3: -101 (i.e., 0)
Estimated mash pH: 5.35
Total water additions:
mash: 2.08 gal...
I have no clue what state the calcium chloride is in. I just opened the package yesterday for a different brew. How can I tell?
I'm using the Brun calculator so I'm following whatever assumption that is making regarding anhydrous or anhydride. How will this affect the brew? Should I try to...
I read that it was better to keep Vienna (or other non-Pilsner malts) to <= 5% of the grain bill. That's how I ended up with this amount. To each their own.
My concern with the water profile is the high chloride and low sulfate. Any thoughts?
Grain:
Weyermann Barke Pilsner, 5.5 lbs
Weyermann German Vienna Malt, 0.3 lbs
Water:
2.16 gal in mash
2.06 gal in sparge
2.50 total desired batch size
I'm using Brun water calculator with the "Yellow Balanced" desired water profile. It says I should have
Ca: 50
Mg: 7
Na: 5
SO4: 75
Cl: 60...
I guess I'm looking to see if I'm close. It doesn't have to be perfect. I just want to make sure I'm within acceptable ranges for the additions. In particular, the acid addition...
