8 pounds of hops from Farmhouse Brewing Supply!

Thank you both for the help! I appreciate it!

6 gallons Galaxy IPA 187 gallons

Thanks again Gavin. How else should the sparge water be treated? Should I add brew salts to the mash water only? I usually use the Brewer's Friend water calculator and there is an option for adding salts to the mash water only. Also, should the pH of the sparge water also need to be adjusted...

I also leave mine connected. No problems so far.

Thanks for the help Gavin. A dunk sparge would be the easiest for me. Would the sparge water need to be heated before the grain bag is dunked? I've read on here both opinions. Some claim that BIAB sparge water does not need to be heated, some say that it does.

Happy New Year everyone! After about a year and a half of extract brewing, I've recently jumped into all-grain brewing and have done three BIAB batches so far. I love this method, by the way. The next batch I'd like to brew will be higher in gravity and if I'd do a full volume mash like my...

Does the 9.67 gallons include things like hop absorption, trub loss, etc.?

Beautiful dog. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hey! Where at in the 'Burgh are? I'm in the North Hills.

Ok great, I feel much better about the situation now. I guess I panicked a bit when it wasn't sinking while it was being crashed. I learn something new everyday on this site. Thanks for the help everyone!

So I've looked at a couple hundred pictures of yeast rafts and I'm pretty sure that's what I have going on.

WLP029 Kolsch yeast

The white areas are glare off of the glass carboy. The floating spots kinda look creamy like when dry yeast is rehydrated. That may be a horrible way to describe it. The bubbling is coming out of the airlock which I've never encountered during a cold crash but I've read about others having that...

11 days ago I brewed my first all grain batch. After 10 or so extract batches I decided to step it up a notch. I brewed Edwort's kolsch recipe and the brew day went great. As of yesterday some of the krausen hadn't fallen and I was still getting a bubble through the blowoff tube every 20 or so...

Welcome from Pittsburgh!

That's fantastic news. Glad your brother is safe and sound!

What recipe did you use when you brewed Easy Jack? I'd like to brew it soon.

Thanks for the responses guys. My fermentation temps are usually dead on. But this time of year it's right on the fine line of having my fermentation chamber in heat or cooling mode since it's located in the garage. Originally I had it in heat mode but the aggressive fermentation drove the beer...

That fantastic news. Thanks so much. You've calmed me down quite a bit. See, yesterday was my first all grain (BIAB) batch and everything went great. I was worried that the batch was ruined after this debacle.
