By longer sugars, u means longer carbs that are not as long as starch But not as short as simple sugars. Is there any reason recirculating would hinder this conversion?

Depends on what you're trying to do. If its transferring, pushing a plate chiller, recirculating, the $20 pumps seem to be enough. If its for whirlpooling, it seems to lack the volume. $20 pumps, beige - coated magnet ; black - exposed magnet

So I guess the test would be to mash a few minutes, starch test, even it it fails, start recirculating, and retest in 20. Once conversion is done ( starch test negative) is mashing done? Is there anything else that a longer mash accomplishes? Conversion, clarity.. Anything else?

Maybe a newbie question. For 20 min mash then 20 min recirculating, can the mash time be shortened to 5 or 10 minutes? I'm wondering what would be happening in the first 20 min of non recirc that would not be happening during the recirc. If the first 20 min was for starch to be converted...

If the buy opens back up or if any slots open up, count me in for a sack of dme golden light - bm-5748

broni, did you have the 12v or 6v pump the op mentioned or another type? I'm considering one of these for a single vessel RIMS, BIAG setup. I was hoping it could be used with a counter flow chiller but that might be asking for too much.

I can't wait till the next group buy.. Since I missed out on this one.

So earlier today I had a dme brick that I laboriously broke up. A solid brick, not powdery in the middle. Hammer blows were not very effective so I used a combination of a chisel and drill with a screw tip. I just discovered that this work is not necessary if u have some time. I left some big...

Yup, I just saw that.. Pokeepsie is a bit far but I'll try for the NYC one, pearl river is also good

Of course, Be diligent cleaning it and ensure any off flavore, garlic, onions, are gone

Missed out on this one, how much did shipping turn out to be per sack?

Shout out to see if there's any interest in starting this up again. I'll be in need of supplies in about a 6 weeks

Good to know, I started fermenting in kegs and have been rousing the yeast by shaking or rolling. Just wanted to check hat I wasn't doing more harm than good. Thanks for the insight

Well, I'm not taking about adding fruit, I'm talking about the role of yeast in beer conditioning. It seems like the general concensus is that all fermentation and conditioning happens during primary fermentation and the secondary is for addition of flavors or dry hopping . I ask because some...

So I understand that primary fermentation is Sweet wort + yeast = dry wort + alcohol + co2 + yeast trub For 2nd fermentation,we rack off the liquids and leave the yeast cake behind. Doesn't the yeast play an important role in conditioning the beer. For example, doesn't bud add beechwood chips...

I'd be interested in 4 kegs. Is it pick up only or can you ship to NY?
