Thank you, that IBT-4XS looks pretty sweet.

Just found this recipe, got a pale ale on deck for right after christmas but i think im gonna plug this in beginning of january. Recipe looks great cant wait.

Look up the ugly junk corona mill thread, simple mods in there and many different mounting ideas, for 30-40 bucks you can have a motorized grain milling station that will help get your efficiency into the upper 70s or lower 80s

If thats the advice from your LHBS, i would find a new one or stick to mail order. Either they have no idea what they are talking about or they are going to try and get some more money from you to get that efficiency over 50% lol. Which ever it is, i wouldnt waste another minute or another...

Brewed another version of this 2 weeks ago and it's been kegged for 2 days. Same grain bill as post 1418 and used up some hops I had in the freezer. .5oz warrior & .25oz ctz @60 (I still like a 60min bittering charge in these beers) 2oz azacca @flameout 2oz Galaxy & 2oz eldorado @ 160 whilpool...

If it is checked, BS will adjust your strike water temp based on your mash tun temp. If you uncheck it it assumes your mash tun is the same temp as your strike water, which it is since you heat the water in the mash tun. If its checked and you dont go in and manually enter the correct mash tun...

1) look under mash profiles in Beer Smith, there are 3 default BIAB profiles (you can edit them), light body, medium body and full body, all will have the sparge amount set to zero and give you a full volume mash amount. Make sure you have the box for "adjust temp for equipment"...

just dry hop in primary

Looks perfectly fine to me. Ive only made 1 beer using only cascade for hops, but i didnt notice any harshness from it. Heres what i made, omitting the orange peel/ coriander would still make a fine beer im sure. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/cascades-orange-pale-ale.84558/

@BeardedBrews How much water do you leave out of the mash, or how much room do you give yourself in the kettle? When you top up, do you use the top up water to sparge or do you just dump it in?

Full volume mash, which is what i do, it all goes in with the mash water. Remember those figures Braufessor used are for RO water, if you are not using RO those additions might not be appropriate for your water. If you are, just multiply by however many gallons you are starting with and you...

@TxBrew

I would start with something like what I linked, it's assumed 70% efficiency just as a starting point, you can adjust afterwards depending on what numbers you actually get. You can find out your boil off rate before hand so that would help some with how much volume to start with. If your brewer...

Those figures are all per gallon, so: In the case of BIAB, which is what I do, assuming you are full volume mashing 9 gal total water volume Gypsum = .9 grams x9 = 8.1g CaCl = .4 grams x9 = 3.6g Epsom = .1 gram x9 = .9g Canning Salt = .05 grams x9 = .45g I don't use a sparge, but I believe it...

Thankful for family, friends, and good beer.

As soon as my kids finish this apple juice in the fridge ill have me a much larger hopper.

$36 bucks and an hours worth of work and this is where im at. Can i be a part of the club?

Just ordered the grain bill for this again, deciding what hops ill use. I still like a 60min bittering addition, usually .75oz of warrior (im in the minority i know). I tried a red a while ago using 85% red x malt 15% flaked oats, el dorado/belma/huell melon. Came out really good but not NEIPA...

Exactly what i have noticed with mine as well.

You can harvest yeast from most of Bell's ales, they even give instructions on their website. I have successfully harvested from Oberon.
