Yea the losses are I think are 6 quarts if I remember right. I did by a rolling oil stand that I put the kettle on. This allows me to lean the kettle towards the pump and get everything except about 2 cups of wort. The thing is in hindsight you can add the DIPTUBE, you just need to make sure...

So it ended up being I had added a DIPTUBE to the pump. And what would happen is it would eventually pull enough wort to make the element dry fire. Without it, the pump can't pick up enough liquid to get the element completely dry.

Hey, So got 2 used kegs from keg connection, and need a sanity check. For this post, I assume I need a 7/8th deep socket: But what about this guy:

My god thank you!! That makes so much more sense. Yea trying to work through the massive losses. Tried a diptube, but accidentally burned out my heating elements because i moved too much liquid out from underneath the grain bed.

Thanks for the hints on stirring, I don't stir for that long, and multiple samples. And I'll check the crush. Does this start to indicate too that I should look at my own crusher as well to gain consistency?

So I'm using a refractometer to take gravity measurements. It came in at 9.6 right after mashing but realized I didn't stir it and just took from the top of the kettle. They came in at 7.7 brix after stirring. I had calibrated at the beginning of the day. It's also one of those table top ones...

Sorry, realized i didnt update them, but the volume was spot on so i just left it. Adjusted it so its not the default:

Yes its BIAB, and i have a BIAB mash selected. I did do all the measurements myself, there was far less trub and volume loss space before i measured it.

I do get the grain crushed at a local store. [EDIT] Looked up channeling, thanks for the suggestions.

And here are my grain absorption rates

Thats what my question is around. If my brewhouse effiency is close, but my mash efficiency is way off, how would i account for that moving forward? Meaning if I made a second batch, and wanted to account for the poor efficiency, how would i do that? According to Beersmith my brewhouse is...

Hey guys, Hope someone can help, I'm pulling my hair out trying to make sense of Beersmith. I brew with the Unibrau, and I can NEVER get my mash efficiencies and gravities right. I have spent a couple of hours figuring out the volumes and losses for my setup, they are here: With no...

I only had the pump on slightly, so that the grain bed only grew by an inch or two. There was 4.5 gallons of water in it. But this is a good idea. The first time it happened though was on a 5 gallon batch that had 8 gallons of water in it.

Hey guys, Hoping maybe someone can help me here. Bought the Unibrau v3 about 4 months ago. Did 4 batches on it and everything was going well. The last time I brewed, about 6 minutes into the mash, i smelled a harsh burning smell and my smoke detector went off, as well as the circuit breaker...

3/8 x 50

Got it as a gift for Christmas, don't really have a use for it. Brand new in the box, never opened. Looking for $125.

Switched to electric brewing and don't have a use for it. Looking for $25 and located in 07030

15 gallon Bayou Classic kettle. Comes with false bottom, thermometer, and ball valve. Got an electric brewing setup so have no need for it. Looking for $75 bucks for it. Located in 07030

Yes im bottling.

Thanks guys. I'll follow your advice and let it sit another couple of weeks.
