i am going to brew this tomorrow, have everything ready but have a couple questions that i would love to have answered if possible. what temp did you sparge? do you wait to sparge after the entire 90 minute mash? i am sorry as i am new to all grain, going to get the first use of my home-made...

anybody ever used the white labs california ale yeast? i bought the two vials as the creator suggested, but do you know why it would be necessary? if i were to make a starter would i even need a second vial? is there a benefit to pitching 2 full ones? the container said that they are capable of...

i do take gravity readings, and probably shouldnt have even written down that part on the recipe. i was just writing what he had written. i only have an 8 gallon stock pot for the main BIAB mashing and a 5 gallon stock pot for the dunk sparging... between the two kettles, how should i separate...

good to hear.

i found this recipe on here, and i thought it looked great.. didnt hurt that the person who made it also said they had won two competitions with this ipa. is 14 1/4# grain normal for an all grain recipe? i am going to attempt it using a somewhat BIAB method. please give me your thoughts...

thank you for educating me.

sorry, i meant somewhat belgian character.. being close to the bill of some belgian wits and such with the wheat and pils.

nice

i kinda like that.

lol

that is fine.. what could you call it? it has alot of belgian character in the grain bill, closer to a pale ale in hop additions, and a german ale/kolsch yeast.

i had to give it a try after trying wyeast kolsch yeast for the batch before this one. i love the clean almost lagerish profile that kolsch yeast gave.. so i went with white labs version this time.

huh?

wlp029 german ale/kolsch yeast. it is a bit of a funky concoction. hoping for something magical :)

i am ok with the fact that it didnt turn out the way i intended, just curious as to what category it might fall into.

about 2 weeks ago i brewed this, my recipe. Extract/fermentables- .5#agave nectar .5#corn sugar 2#light lme 2#wheat lme Grains- 3#belgian pilsner 2.5#wheat malt 1#american vienna Hops/additions- .75oz centennial (60mins) .25oz centennial (15mins) 1oz chinook (10mins)...

i have ABSOLUTELY no idea but if you make it work send me a message! i am near portland and more than willing to make the drive for such a beverage :mug:

ok, so what i will do probably isnt called BIAB.. but it is the only way i can make an all grain batch happen. beer experiment vol. 4

i would probably sparge in a different pot.. i have a 5 gallon pot i could use for that.. so maybe 5 gallons in the initial mash? and 1.5 in the sparge? or something like that?

how much of a difference would i see between the 60 and 90 minute mashes?
