Itss a steady 68f right now. defiantly smelling some banana smells through the airlock. although banana sounds pretty good to me :ban:

So i was awakened last night by what I thought was police sirens in the distance. Turns out it was just gas escaping from my airlock. I pitched 3068 into my Hefeweizen before I went to bed and then this morning it had a good 5 in krausen and the airlock is going nuts. haha...

So my most recent brew I did was an attempt at a Surly Abrasive clone. I really like Abrasive and think it tastes great, not abrasive at all just pure tasty wonderfulness. So Surly lists on their website the ingredients they use, but not any percentages or other specifics. I used that info and...

yes, that would work. What I have been doing for BIAB that has been working out pretty good is; I have a 8Gal kettle/mash tun. I start with 5 G of water and say 14 pounds of grain (that's about the max with my kettle and 5 g of water). After the mash I lose at least 1.5 G to the grain. So I do a...
