Hi folks, Can you please make sense of those? Est and measured OGs are the same. Est and meas FGs are the same. Est and meas volumes are the same. And still - est and meas attenuations AND est and measured ABVs are DIFFERENT??? How can it be?

Oh! You right! Thanks alot, it explains everything. Cheers! :mug:

Thats true. Volume measured with a calibrated SS yardstick, SG - with ATC refractometer. But still to me its hard to explain to myself how can I get wrong readings with the same yardstick and the same refractometer. In any cases (exact numbers aside) and by plain logic: more (than calculated)...

Thanks alot!

I have BM20. And gasket looks like not stretched at all - it sits firmly when it is at room temp. May be it is loosening while hot - not sure.

Hi folks It drives my nuts. Every single time after sparging and taking malt pipe away, I have to blindly fish that large red silicone seal with mash paddle out from wort. Sometimes I lift malt pipe into sparging position already without that gasket. Sometimes it still here on the pipe after...

Hi folks, Can you please help me to solve following puzzle: I'm routinely using Beersmith for my AG brews and it is not the 1st time I met a strange situation which kinda contradict with my broken logic. Lets say Beersmith calculated Preboil volume 27L Preboil gravity 1.043 Postboil volume 23L...

Thanks alot!

Hi folks! Anyone has a working snapshot or archive of now RIP braumeisters.net forum? Wayback machine website has some snapshots of it, but all of them are incomplete and most of the pages are missing from there. TIA!

Hi folks How to proceed with decoction in Braumeister BM20? I mean the step by step process of pulling part or the mash out of malt pipe? I can imagine the following Stop the pump... Undo a wingnut and remove top horizontal pipe(bar)..... Then what? How to fish out floating top plate and top...

Hi folks! Is there any way to identify JG fitting (its part number or such?) I have a fitting in front of me kinda like in the picture below It has bunch of JG marks everywhere, sorta female thread and "EF P NSF-51 47" marks on the push fit side. Dark grey insert has numbers 1/4 (looks like it...

Hi folks! Anyone tried to tweak Brewferm Flemish Brown kit (Brewferm beer kit Flemish Brown) in any way? According to instructions, this kit makes only 12L (abt 3 gal) batch. And I'd like to have something closer to 5 gallons/19L, cos my GF Conical fermenter has cooling sleeve at 15L-19L...

Hi folks, I've made several batches using MJ's cider pouches and those turned out great (even their "sweet" variants). Now I'm looking for a "lower alcohol" summer drink (to be able to consume more at once), and got the idea to make MJ's pouch into roughly 10 gal (38L) of the water. "Normal"...

What you would suggest then? Grain bill would be roughly 5 kg. Thicker mash + sparge as usual? Reiterated mash? Something else?
