kinda rare to get grain dust in both times....if that would be the case...at least its consistent lol

Try not to keep the lid on while cooling your wort down. Same as while your boiling you dont want the lid on. A) if there is any DMS that was not boiled off, the lid will collect it in the steam and it will drop back into the wort. (i dont think DMS would cause the nasty taste as i believe it...

yea i use paint strainer bags for all my batches (biab brewer) i mash 11 lbs in the bag in a 5 gal pot (water is about 1/2" from top, which means i lose very little heat) then i dunk sparge in my 15 gal pot and then combine the 2 to boil 7.5 gallons works fantastic. mashing in a 64 oz SS...

well that narrows it down a little (kinda) how long does it take you to cool the wort down, are you stirring? possibly splashing? are you sanitizing everything that it will touch after being boiled....spoons, bucket/carboy, lids, bungs, air locks (all pieces) hydrometers, thermometers? maybe...

yes except you need a base malt when you mash the flaked wheat since it needs the enzymes from the base malt (flaked wheat doesnt have its own enzymes) so you can mash the oat and the flaked wheat but you will need a base malt to help conversion. I believe you should be able to add a lb or 2 of...

good catch. I was too busy trying to explain the hops utilization. OP your going to to need to mash that flaked wheat like weezy advised.

I just got my 15 gallon kettle and ordered the grand slam 4 piece package....cant wait for it to come in!!!

you will have to top up with bottles spring water. the 13L of water or the 9L in the previous post was with your ingredients already in the pot with the water. 13L of water and 50 grams of hallertau will get you 15ibu then after you cool just top off with spring water. In brewers friend in...

If you bottle how does it taste after fermentation but before you bottle?

I dont rack to secondary either(unless racking onto vanilla beans or similar). I primary only for 2-3 weeks. Lately I have been allowing 2 weeks primary then cold crash for a couple days and keg. less risk of infection or oxidation and less work for me. I have 2 pails and a carboy and prefer the...

I agree sounds like an infection. how are you cooling the wort and what are you sanitzing with?

ok so thats a perfect setup for what your planning. What i personally would do is if you have the power (im assuming stovetop boiling) then steep your flaked grains in 13.2L of water for 20-30 min at 68C. Then bring to boil, stir in Wheat extract (with pot off heat source) until dissolved...

most of the hops packages in the US (unless buying bulk) come in 1 oz packages or about 28.5 grams. how many grams of hallertau do you have?? It all depends on how much water you plan on boiling. The more water you use the more your going to get out of the hops...1 oz of hops boiling in 5...

here is a recipe for basically the same thing you are making just with a different hop....follow these instructions to help you http://www.homebrewing.org/assets/images/AIH%202013%20Recipes/AIH%20Summer%20Wheat%20Special2.pdf

Malt Base: 6 lbs Wheat Liquid Malt Extract Specialty Grains: ½ lb Flaked Wheat, 1/2 lb Flaked Oats Hops: 1 oz Hallertau Hop Pellets(bittering ok so based on your ingredients what I would do (if i can remember my extracts from last year) take 2.5-3 gallons of water and bring it up to...

yes, german hefeweizens have very low bitterness, the brewers gold is too much. you want about 15IBU for the 20 liter batch. I ran your recipe through brewersfriend.com and if you add 1 ounce of hallertau at 45 min you hit 15ibu right on the button.
