25,524.5 +6 gallons RIS +10 gallons American Wheat = 25,540.5

So, I brewed 6 gallons of this on Sunday and everything went as planned, EXCEPT I forgot to add the cocoa nibs to the boil. Question for you guys, should I add the cocoa nibs to secondary? Any downside to this? Also, if I add to secondary, how much? Thanks!

= 24,389 gallons + 10 gallons IPA + 12 gallons brown ale + 10 gallons sweet potato seasonal + 12 gallons coconut porter = 24,433 gallons

Planning on brewing this early next week and the more I think about it, I may play around with some coconut in the mash/boil/secondary... still working on ratio, but probably something close to 1:1:2. Anyone have any insight or guesses in how toasted/raw coconut might work in the different...

How do you think a mix of fresh and toasted coconut would turn out?

That makes sense. However, if you're bottling I would expect it would be left behind in the fermentor or secondary, correct?

Is there any reason you would NOT want to use gelatin? Any cons/drawbacks?

This recipe looks fantastic... very excited to give it a try! A couple questions: When did you add to the boil? And for those of you who have used vanilla beans, how did it turn out? Thanks!

Has anyone had any issues where the controller has stopped functioning properly after weeks of working perfectly? My stc-1000 worked fine for a couple of months and now all of a sudden it isn't switching power, just keeping both sources (heat and cold) hot at all times... meaning my chest...

You can use this online calculator to figure out how much and what temperature water needs to be added to reach your desired temperature. If you're doing a single infusion mash, you can just treat the mash out temp as a step up. Link below: http://www.brewersfriend.com/mash/

Hey everybody, I've got one batch under my belt on my new system and my volume and gravity were off a bit, so I'm hoping to dial everything in for my next batch and was wondering if y'all could share some advice on what to look out for. So far here's what I plan to calculate and account...

Earlier this week I made a 1L starter with two vials of WL001 and after cold crashing for a day I stepped it up to 2L. Within 8 hours there was "massive" amounts of blowoff. There's a few photos attached. Note that the amount of yeast you see blown off in that first photo is roughly 1/4 of...

Hey everybody, I've got the MH1210F controller up and running but am unable to adjust the temperature downward. Anyone know what's going on here? Anyone have this problem? When I go to set temperature, whether in cool or heat mode, the temp defaults to 100*F and when I go to adjust the...

Hey guys! Looking for help setting the temperature on my single-stage stc-1000. Right now I've got it hooked up to a chest freezer and plan on using it as an outdoor fermentation chamber. How do I go about setting this one up? It's a little different than the typical model... image attached.
