My final last piece of equipment is my new monster mm3 grail mill and hopper.

Not exactly, just showing everyone the equipment I have and if there is anything I'm missing

If I ran all the sparge water through I would have over 11 gallons for a 5 gallon brew???? Those numbers just dont sound right....

I am about to start my first AG brew. It has 13.25 pounds of grains (including speciality) and using 1.1 quarts per pound I would start with 14.57 quarts of water. For the half gallon per pound, that would give me 6.6 gallons of sparge water. This is a 5 gallon kit. So I just start off with the...

I made a Belgian Witbier extract and it came out WAY darker than it was supposed to. Belgian Witbier should have the color close to Blue Moon, and this came out as a dark amber color... Is this from over caramelization? I followed the recipe to a T... What will help me maintain the color I am...

These are the two new pieces that I have added to my small brewery! I am going to go All Grain! One is a 10 gallon mash tun with a stainless steel false bottom. The other is a 10 gallon hot liquor tank. I cannot wait to start my first all grain brew!

This is the brew equipment I currently possess.

Do you think it is a better idea to start with a concentrate and then fill to 5 gal or start off with 5 gal and adjust for evaporation? I did have a recent brew that was about .008 S.G. than the range on the instructions. Is that because of the full boil? I have the capabilities for a full boil.

Thanks

Haha I finally got my "chigger" chugger pump. I havent used it as of yet. Gravity flow works well with Blichmann Therminator. I also purchased a 14.8 cu ft chest freezer and a Johnson A419 Digital Temperature Controller for Lagering beer.

So my Belgian Witbier has been fermenting in a Blichmann Conical for over a week now. As it finished fermenting I moved to fermenter to my garage where it could cold crash (its roughly 40 degrees in there) and added Gelatin Finings to help clear. It sat in there for 2 days. As I opened the...

Hello, I would like to create an authentic Oktoberfest Extract brew that would meet the German purity law, and be made like an authentic German Oktoberfest. Anyone have any ideas for grains/malts and the extract I would need?

Hello everyone. I was reading about how people are using 17% percent and 2% that..... How do you know what to use to get the beer you want?? I've always wandered how you match your grains to get the flavor/color you want.. Can anyone give me a rundown on how this works, or how to figure it out...
