ayo slark, anyword on a successful vitus weizenbock re-do? i've gotten ahold of some hallertau hersbrucker and want to give this style a try! also, curious to see that's there's no munich malt in your original grain bill...looks like wheat and munich are pretty standard for weizenbocks...

single infusion w/ no sparge? id like to be a sparger! as for overshooting mashout temp, i dont want to bother with taking pH readings. if it gets as close to 180F (from adding my deadspace to my mash out volume), im assuming I'll likely extract lots of astringent compounds. i want my...

broadbill, you rule. thanks for helping me here. im located not to far from you btw, in burlington, vt. tons of snow here... my last recipe called for just about ~5.5lb grain. 1.25 is a standard mash ratio and id like to stay in that area if i can. just from observing guides all over...

make to sure to specify to beersmith your sparging style choice too. i tried fly sparging my first AG batch and it was a pain in the butt. go with batch sparging if your feeling it

hmm. thats what I saw beersmith suggested as well. but what I dont get is by adding more water to my strike volume (to fill the deadspace) doesn't that in turn change my target water/grist ratio?

thanks for the link, but I don't see an option anywhere here that accounts for dead space! :(
