Slim, this might have been answered but I couldn't find it. What efficiency is your recipe calculated with? I am going to brew this soon for summer for my 3rd all grain. Thanks, tone

Did my 2nd all grain brewday this past Sunday, dry irish stout. 9.975lg total grain with 1.5 lb flaked barley in that total. I used .125gal/lb absorbtion (first time i used .1 and was a little low) plus .25gal dead space. That gave me 4.75gal strike water to get about 3.25gal first runnings...

I measured out all the volumes on my paddle for my kettle and used a dremmel to carve them into the wood. Bad pic but works.

Got it

Ok thanks, I just didn't want to remove the same proteins I was trying to add.

Getting ready to do my 1st all grain stout. I know that we add flaked barley to provide protein for head retention and body. I have been using whirlfloc/moss which I think is supposed to coagulate and remove proteins. I assume I should then leave it out of this brewday? T

I adjusted it as follow upping the Flaked barley, and hops, and decreasing the carapils and chocolate malt. I also scaled it to 5.5gal. I didn't know carapils adds sweetness, thought it didn't give any flavor? Any opinions on the new recipe: 6 lbs 9.7 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1...

Cool, so you used the higher L roasts and it still turned out good? Btw, what is BMC? T

I am going to brew O'Flaherty's Irish stout recipe next week as my 2nd all grain and am excited about it. My local home brew shop only has roasted barley 595 ( instead of 300) and chocolate malt 450 ( instead of 350). Anyone know if this will change the flavor adversely or just color...

I am going to brew this next weekend by my local home brew shop only has roasted barley 595 ( instead of 300) and chocolate malt 450 ( instead of 350). Will this change change the flavor adversly or just color? Thanks, t

Cool thanks, looking for something clean and flocculent and good for a pale, this might work. I am not inpatient so I will try it.

Anyone done this brew with wyeast 1272?

Anyone made this using maris otter? And hoe did it turn out?

Thanks everyone, so much beer, so little time

I just devirginized myself the past weekend and did my first all grain batch. Really fun. I was just wondering where most all grain brewers get recipes from? Are there any really good reliable sources that most people use. Thanks, T

So my wife (Irish, likes beer, scotch and wine, and enjoys brewing) wants to buy me a conical fermenator for my birthday. Since I don't have room for a fridge big enough to put it in I was thinking of going with the morebeer 7.5g with the temp controller. I was wondering if anyone has used...

So I am cold crashing for the first time , and the airlock is moving in reverse sucking air back into the carboy. I understand the physics of it but don't like it. It is obviously sucking air with O2 back into my carboy. I suppose since CO2 is heavier than air, there will still be a blanket...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Really helps

Getting ready to do my 1st all grain and have a couple questions to any who wish to chime in.-(Denny?). Be gentle, this is my first time. I am going to do a batch sparge. From my research it seems that many people will mash at a certain water/grain ratio, then calculate and add additional...

So after having a wonderful creamy guinness in a pub last night, I have decided to buy a nitrogen set up for one of the taps on my kegerator. I am still a new extract brewer and have not brewed a stout or porter yet. I was wondering if anyone had a good extract recipe or kit that they have made...
