I use a Brewzilla 3.1.1 and throw my hops in commando, don't have too much problem with blocking the pump. If it does block, simply put some air pressure backwards through the pump and it will clear easily. DO remember, however, to always pull the recirc tube up out of your wort prior to...

The wife and I were talking about a batch of mead that I made that neither one of us can stomach. We were talking about how to save it, and distilling it came up. She then asked me "can you distill beer?". I have no f'n clue and she keeps asking, so I thought I would put the question to those...

5.2 gallons cascade IPA 2712.2

I would think that your hops utilization would be worse than a spider doing it that way. You would have minimal wort circulation around the hops unless you used the pump to pour it back in the top as you boil, but they say to NOT use the pump during the boil due to very shortened pump life...

Since I started brewing on a Brewzilla, I have stopped using anything for containing the hops on the hot side. By using the whirlpool arm during chilling and then letting it rest for 5 minutes, all of the hop matter (I'm sure that a small bit gets through, but it's minimal) collects on the top...

Not sure about sugar, but if you use DME, I believe that every pound will give you about 9 points...

I don't think the expected 1.060 is correct. I just plugged in 11 pounds of a generic Pale malt and six gallons into brewfather, and it showed 1.051 @ 78% mash efficiency

OK, so I have a total of three all grain brews under my belt. I am brewing with a Brewzilla 3.1.1. First one was an IPA recipe by David Heath (you may have seen his YT channel). I hit just 1 point below all the numbers, which put my mash efficiency close to 75%. The second was a Citra Maris...

So, I bought one of those cheap PH meters on Amazon.... PH Meter for Water Hydroponics Digital PH Tester Pen 0.01 High Accuracy Pocket Size with 0-14 PH Measurement Range for Household Drinking, Pool and Aquarium (Blue): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific and after FINALLY getting the thing to...

I pretty much think that by the end of 60 minutes of boiling, those hops are totally spent and you aren't going to get anything else out of them. YMMV Lon

I'm 99% sure that all the recipe software calculates the IBU's (and recipes as written) are based on once the hops hit the wort, they stay there. Lon

I brew on a Brewzilla 35L. In a typical 5 gallon recipe, I am only using 1.0-1.5 gallons of sparge water per Brewfather. I am concerned that I am not getting a good rinse of the grains with that little water. My question is, would it be beneficial, at the beginning of the sparge, to drain off...

Either way, it is downward force, and if the weight of that bag is going to be an issue, I would seriously be worried about those joists supporting the floor above them. JMHO Lon

Enter the recipe into Brewfather and scale it down to 5 gallons...

I thought I would come back and update this post. To their credit, they did cancel the order and issue refund to my PayPal. Downside it that it took two days to get it done (on a Sunday, no less). Edit: Just made the exact same order(including malt houses, so a total oranges to oranges...

My closest LHBS is 70 miles........

I placed what will likely be my LAST order with NB last Sunday. Last night, I emailed customer service, asking what was up, as I am used to seeing orders shipped in two business days. The response was: "We apologize for the delay! The warehouse has been very busy of late, and we are running...

After reading that article, it is clear as mud..... :)
