Maybe I'm not understanding how efficiency is calculated... but I don't see how topping up will reduce efficiency. I thought efficiency was measured against the theoretical amount of sugars that is in the grain. IE if I get 60% of the sugars out of a given amount of grain then I have 60%...

How much would you suggest?

The grain bill is 23 LB or roughly 10 kg calculating @ .5 - .75 liter/kg that is 5-7.5 liters of water absorption that is another 10 - 15 lb of weight. so a total max of 45 lb. With wet grain there will be an even distribution of pressure so no point loads. I tested the bag with 2 15 lb...

I used the default 70% efficiency in BrewTarget. From what I have read on BIAB a lot of the guys are getting decent efficiency. Part of this is due to the thin mash and the fact that you can use a finer crush without worrying about a stuck sparge. The grain bill is slightly modified from an...

The dunking is something I picked up while reading up on BIAB on the Australian sites. From what I gather the wet grain still has a higher concentration of sugars then the wort after it has been drained the first time. The dunk dilutes that and allows for a few more points of efficiency. There...

Leave it in the primary. I have found that a good number of the brewers on this site Only use a secondary for Dry hopping,adding fruit or for clearing. I would leave it in the primary for at least three weeks and as it is a larger beer maybe even longer say 4-5 weeks. This gives the yeast time...

Well I can lay one worry to rest. I filled my keggle to see how long it would take to get to temp ant to see how accurate my thermometers are (one cheap digital meet thermometer one cheap bi-metal meat thermometer and on floating thermometer. I figured with three I could get a good feel for if...

FYI I used BrewTarget to calculate temps, OG, FG, IBUs, SRM, and ABV.

another 6 gallons, third batch since September The first batch was getting really good just before it was gone So I'm trying to fill the pipeline. 14,955.5 + 6 = 14,961.5

I have offered to replace the keg that the glued on handle did not hold. As I am not trying to cheat anyone. I am willing to show pictures to any potential buyers. That way they can see exactly what they are getting. As for the appearance... To quote my 6 year old daughter when she over heard...

I just added a disclaimer about the non functional conditions of some of the kegs to the OP. I had a dissatisfied customer due to the appearance of the kegs (small dents and re-glued handle) The disclaimer is as follows Kegs may have dents stickers or have handles that are re-glued on

What about more than a pound or two? Say you wanted to do an AG but you currently can only afford the grain or the mill (purely hypothetical no relation to my real life situation;)) I have done the rolling pin method with 2 lb of crystal which worked fine. however I am not looking...

Did you e-mail me? I have been a little busy with reno's the last week or so so I have lost track of who I still need to send shipping quotes to :o Richard

I'll have a shipping quote sent sometime today.

As for swapping out the posts. It is possible depending on who made the keg. Cornelius Kegs have the same threading whether they are ball lock or pin locks.

Another 6 gal made 14716 + 6 = 14722

With my American ale that I made this last weekend (first full boil) I did put a lid on it out of ignorance. However it seems from the wiki that it should tolerate high levels of DMS. Also it was an extract with a mini mash of specialty grains so the levels of SSM may have been lower to start...

So that other noobs do not have to go and try and figure out what DMS is and why we dont want it. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/DMS richard

Yes I do. There has been a lot of interest but not many buyers.
