Thanks for the heads up. Here is the thing whether it is accidental or not. my 10 gallon industrial cooler is still never full with the settings I have entered. I have a 1.6 qt to grain ration on strike and my one batch sparge I have it set to do never fills the tun all the way. This may be that...

Brew day went really good today. My barley crusher is set to .031 and I am using a bazooka screen. this was the only problem I had today. I will go buy me a braided wire from the hardwire store before next batch because the bazooka screen is too coarse for my crush even with rice hulls. I think...

Thanks for the help. I'm brewing my wife a raspberry beer right now. I am using 1.6 qt ration and a single batch sparge of 4 gallons. I think this will work well for me. I do use a chugger pump. Any sugestions of how slow to turn the pump down to prevent stuck sparge. Sent from my...

Ok I got all my equipment and mash profiles worked out in beersmith finally. I now realize that I have another problem. I have an 8 gallon brew pot. If I assume a 1 gallon boil off in an hour (which is probably too low of an estimate. My pre boil volumes range from 7-7/2 gallons. Now I do have...

Ok changed grain to water ratio to 1.5qt per pound on mash in. Is this about what everyone uses? When I do this my strike and batch sparge volumes are pretty close Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app

I have my sparge settins as follows on beersmith. Checked box for batch sparge using batches that fill. I entered 100% Unchecked use equal batch sizes Checked drain mash tun before sparge. I think this is close to what I want but I assumed two water volumes would be closer Sent from my...

Ok I have been trying to get more exact with beersmith. I have my mash set closer to what I wss looking for. My recipe says to mash in with 12.5 quarts which is 3.13 gallons. Then batch sparge two steps. Drain mash tun and add 5.06 gallons 168 water. Is this the correct method or should the two...

Before I drained the mash tun and then added the smaller amount drained again and added last water. Makes much more sense to me now Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking for a simple method that I can stick to every time. Pretty new to beersmith so ill try it first. I do like the splitting the water 50/50. Any thoughts to the better method Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app

I am pretty new to all grain brewing. I am teying to find the best method for me. I use a 10 gallon igloo cooler and batch sparging is probably the way I should go. I have two questions. First. Beersmith tells me the strike water to add and then has 2 sparges after that. Can I just combine these...

Thanks for the quick replies. So as a new brewer my question was answered. The flour is not a problem as long as no stuck sparge. As for the wet milling, just soak the grains? I was worried with so much cold break going into the fermenter that maybe the mill was too low. hope the beer turns...

I have a barley crusher grain mill. I have a friend who brews good beer and he adjusted my mil to .031. He gets great efficency and makes good beer. I used the mill this weekend and iy milled tons of flour. I dis not have a stuck sparge and efficiency was good. However when chilling I had lots...
