i will check it out. In the past i used excel sheets that i created but when i moved to AG i purchased BS. Bit of a learning curve, this would probably explain why i was under for my first AG batch. Thanks again and happy brewing!

Thanks guys! Bierliebhaber what software do you use?

So i'm going to do my second AG batch tomorrow of a recipe i created. When i use beer smith it tells me to use the following Mash schedule. Total water: 7.26 16.25 Qts of water for 60min Batch Sparge 2 steps .35gal and 2.85 @ 168 But when I use the online mash calculator at brew365.com...

Thanks everyone for the advice! really looking forward to my first brew with an original recipe. :mug: Here is the final recipe (unless i get more advice that warrants a change) :rockin: Style: American IPA TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications...

Ha! I did not intend to select 6-row, I updated to using 2-row. I usually ferment at 65-68. But on this batch i'm going to pitch at 60 and put it in a room that is ~65.

Thanks Yooper will do. That is a mistake, i want to use 2-row.

ha! Steep ;) yeah, i'm batch sparging at 168.

I get the grain crushed at my LHBS. I want kind of a toasty not too sweet IPA with a high ABV. Shooting for about 6.5% - 7%. If i add more victory and subtract the grain from my base and mash at 154-152 for 60min that sounds like i should get the what i want. you guys agree? The main thing i'm...

Thanks everyone! I will lower my mash temp to 154 and step for 60 min. I will post back and provide an update on how this brew turns out.

+1 i use a 7.5 turkey fryer for a boil kettle and built a mashtun out of a 52qt cooler. Love it!

Thanks everyone! Here is the updated Recipe, let me know what you think. I raised the mash temp, adjusted the grain levels and hop schedule, and added the yeast strain i want to use. :rockin: Style: American IPA TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications --------------------------...

I have been brewing 9 months and recently moved to all grain. i'm brewing this week and trying my hand at creating a recipe with beer smith. I want to start simple, so i created an American IPA using only hops from the Northwest. This is my first time creating a brew from scratch and would...

44844 + 50 = 44894

I set up all of my brews with blowoff tubes for the first 3-6 days of fermentation. Happy brewing!

thanks for the tip. I will start pitching my ales @ 60.

Great reply and question. I can boil this down to a few improvements. 1. Pitch @ 64 (or wait till the beer settles to room temp before pitching) 2. Keep the fermentors in a cool place and leave it Any other suggestions you can offer?

Thanks! I pitched at 64 and moved the beer to a closet upstairs where it warmed up the to the 73 i saw when i came home. I think moving forward i will keep ll my beer in the utility closet downstairs.

I believe it is the same as 1056. I moved it to the downstairs utility closet that sits on my foundation slab and is about 2-4 degrees cooler. Hopefully the damage is minimal, this is my first AG batch and the beer to perfect. Thanks for all the help!
