I want to use a small amount of black malt for color on an amber lager. I'm interested in steeping the grains in a hop bag, then adding that wort to my boil. What temps are recommended for black malt or debittered chocolate malt? I was thinking something around 149F. Thanks.

This is over 50% wheat. You didn't have any issues with stuck sparge? Are you using BIAB?

^ looks awesome. what JK brews did you toss in?

I'm still interested in 5 if you are willing to sell them.

07079 is the zip.

Flip tops gone.

For those storing in a plastic bin, how do you transfer to your HLT? I'm struggling to find a way to prime my pump on brew day. I worry about putting a ball valve and QD on my Rubbermaid Brute. Thanks.

I have 18 pint flip tops (green and brown, some are actual grolsch), 16 green wine bottles, and 12 brown Belgian bottles (some with labels), and a bunch of bomber and regular 12oz bottles, that are up for grabs. Available until 1/31. PM me if interested.

I keep my RO water in a Brute 32Gal. I'm wondering how people doing the same transfer their water into the HLT. Loading 10gal into my HERMS HLT with a syphon isn't hard, but since I have pumps I want to use them. I was thinking about putting a ball valve and quick disconnect on the Brute...

PM sent. Let me know availability if willing to part with 5. Thanks.

I'm in NJ and interested in 5. Still available??

I am close to finishing off my electric brewery. I did a test run last night for the second time after fixing a few leaks from the first test. All looked good except connecting/disconnecting my hoses from the outflow side of my pumps seems to have loosen the connections. I have Chugger pumps...

My lager isn't as clear as I'd like with the hops in there but it super delicious. I'm considering cold crashing again but not that worried about it. Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree with Martin. I added an inline TDS meter to Bulk Reef Supply water system. Was only a few bucks more to the system that ran me about $100 and it supposedly has a better accuracy than the ones you dip. I still send out a water sample to Ward labs every year or so as a sanity check...

If you can't control temperature, I'd worry about a d-rest. Some say they aren't necessary, while others swear by them. I always do one for the handful of lagers I've done. If you really want to give it a shot, do a 2 week primary at 50f, try a heat wrap for 2 days to hit 60f. Then toss in a...

This is ambitious for a first brew. I realize you have free corn and 6row, maybe find a recipe using just 6row. Corn is not used by beginners frequently.

My hose connecting my false bottom and ball valve broke off once. I needed to add some DME to hit my desired SG. Not a big deal at all.

Thanks guys. Will a hanging mesh bag keep my lager clear? I'm not worried about having to add more hops. My kegs tend to run dry in about 3-4 weeks.

I'm 3 days into fermentation on an IPL and using the accelerated lager technique. I'm wondering if anyone has input on when to add the hops and at what temp. Thanks in advance.
