Yooper, I am not using a false bottom (yet) I am using the high speed stainless mesh tube you get at TLBS. Will this make a huge difference in your estimation?
Cheers everyone! I am getting ready to do my 2nd AG brew tomorrow and how to do my mash is really starting to bug me... Here is my scenario:
Brewing Dogfish 90 min style clone
Grain bill is 17.25 lbs
Sparge for 60 at 152*
OG should be around 1.085-90
Target is to get 5.5 gallons into...
Hey guys, i have done this recipe 2x partial mash and it has turned out Fantastic!:D Now i have moved into the world of All Grain. SO i know this is a fairly basic question, but like i mentioned I'm a n00b.... How much water are you adding per lbs of grains? I'm think 1.25-5 qt per lbs...
I'm getting ready to do a 5 gallon batch and realize I don't have an immersion chiller. I am boiling in a keggle and am trying to figure out a solution that will work without having to spend a lot of money.
I was thinking of filling my bathtub with ice water?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in...
Very insightful information! Thank you. As far as winter brewing I'm blessed to live in the Phoenix area so that is not a huge concern. The big issue here is cooling the wort in the summer as our faucet water is about 95°....I have to check but I'm pretty sure the other (yes we have 2) LBS here...
