Went from a 3 vessel system to a Klarstein.. the instruction manual is basically worthless and there’s not a lot of info on it.. anyone have this system? What I’m looking for is water to grain ratios.. with my old equipment I used 1.3-1.5 qts to 1 lb grain.. that’s all changed now with this...

Been thinking of adding a pump for recirculating the wort during the 60 min saccrification rest.. my thoughts are better filtration of the wort and better efficiency kinda like a robobrew or grainfather.. my only concern would be possible a stuck Bazooka tube due to more draw from a pump and...

Kinda like the Devils cut!

Used flaked corn in my last cream ale.. I guess it's for head retention but I think it added a sweet aspect to it.. But what do I know!

Yup that I understand.. Someday!!

That would be awesome! I pretty much went straight to all grain.. Bought a used 5 gallon cooler mash tun and and through a few pieces together here n there.. Have ideas of what I truly want to do but for now my system isn't the prettiest or fancy shmancy but it works!

Well to be honest yes.. Enjoyed by all.. Even my jombie dust was voted above the real deal by my buddies.. Or maybe they were being nice!! But a few buddies are no brewing at home after trying my slop!

Only store I have close by.. And it's not that close..Hate buying online.. But ill accept any info as I am trying to make better beer all the time.. So far visually not great but taste has been spot on

Crash cool before kegging I'm assuming.. Next batch a cream ale ill try that..
