Ahah and a lot of it high gravity. I can only imagine how much more than my standard ipa

I'm used to crashing my beer and carving up at the same time for 7 days. I dump everything out the unitank dump port. Since I need to be precise on stout 1.2volumes. Easier to do it at the ferm temp. Can I crash and dump and let the yeast all settle dump and when the bottom sight glass is...

Day trippr's imperial stout. I'm copying to try a stout. Just roasted. @ 250* 4 min, 6min, 10 min. Gonna taste em side by side. But color wise they all match. Are the nibs for strictly aroma of the beer. Nothing to do with flavor? If thats the case. I'll stop eating these like cereal...

I'm noticing after trying samples and samples the darker nibs when roasting taste like roasted nuts. No chocolate. So I'm trying to find the sweet spot in my oven to roast but but get to that dark color on a few

I just retired a sample on a baking sheet. 250* for 12 min and 8 minutes into I smelled brownies. Let it go entire 12 and pulled. Now I'm going to redo it 250* at 8 minutes and pull it. When I first smell brownies just to see visually and taste one but my palette hates these. Haha gross

Jan 16 delivery. I can't try those when this batch is going before that. I'll try roasting different ways experimenting

Did a test run on the nibs a small amount 300* for 12 min not sure if it's overdone or under. But I tasted and man these are bitter lol. I thought I was eating chocolate pieces lol. Shows you how much I know. Clearly don't know what cocoa nibs are lol! Is this what they should look like??

So I got my hands on some dark rum. Zacapa no. 23 and Appleton 12yr. Thats my options. I have access to. Otherwise I gotta go buy a bottle somewhere.

hey!. i brewed his single hop Nectoran 8.6% it was good. went fast. Everybody made me brew it again so its in the unitank now about to dry hop tomorrow LOL

Beer Smith doesn't even show magnesium or picking lime. I'm def not using BS for my mashes anymore! Is the goal to be in same PH for all beers during a mash. 5.4-5.5? I learn something new. I'm such a rook! Can't wait to smell this chocolate stout brewing. Mouth is watering

That worked but calcium is on low end now

Well maybe I set it up wrong. I thought I read in instructions if using RO and biab set it to 100%. No sparging.. total volume in mash? I'll have to reread to see what it means Making changes to salts. I get a mash oh of 5.48 black full. If I did it right. I never used this before. Just...

I just ran my ro unit. And getting fresh to water and the oh is 5.83 coming out. Not 7. But even changing that. My grain matching yours. And my salts 0. I'm getting 5.35. So it's close but there is something off still

me either. Just set to black full. Ro 100%. I didn't touch this yet except put my total mash volume and total batch final boil size on right. For my BIAB

How come my bru n water says 5.17?? Any idea? Just trying to learn here and fix any errors on my end.

That est srm can't be right. It's showing 40+ for this chocolate stout Just copied it in the program I don't really use. But it's adding different. ?? And almost matching beersmith

So what do I do. I just follow beersmith. Is it way off. Gotta plan it out because I think my ipas are done Monday so Tuesday I'll have unitank open to brew this dang thing

Here. This is scaled at 74% eff. And for finish boil batch of 7.25g BIAB. 10.26g total water

With beersmith and using RO. Says mash 5.68 with the black full profile.
