Very interesting. It assists with something I"ve long been curious about. We are told that in the old days the English would take the first runnings to make a strong beer (for the men) and then do a second runnings or partigyle to make a light beer (for women and children). I wondered, if...

That’s what’s so good about this hobby. Everyone does it their way

Convenience. I don't see any brewing advantage from this. It's just that with modern electric automation, I don't feel like babysitting a batch that no longer needs babysitting. This way I can automate the boring waiting parts, and enjoy the fun bits.

Thans Mac, I'll do 60c

Yeah, that is the advantage of of removing the grain in the evening. You can automate the start of the boil in the morning. Then just get alerts about hop additions. I want to go down to the brewery in the evening anyway, as I want to turn off the pump. I don't want to worry during the...

That's interesting. I can see how both would work. It's just a choice about whether you want to lift out the grain bed in the evening or the morning. I'm not aware of any advantages or disadvantages to keeping the grains in the mash overnight.

The more I think about it, I should not really call it an overnight mash. The mash is done in the evening. In the evening I start the profile with a mash, then a mashout. Then I come back to turn off the pump. The profile keeps the kettle warm overnight, and then next morning I...

The plan is: In the evening dough into cold water. The profile then starts and runs a 66c mash for one hour. Then the next step is a 77c mashout for ten minutes. Then the next step is to drop down to 55c for ten hours, overnight. The reason for the 55c instead of back to 66c is to...

Hello all I'll be doing my first overnight mash in my brewzilla g4 35. Probably 66c all night. Should I run the pump or not? On the one hand it's a lot of use for the pump. But on the other, it would be good to have good consistent temperature all the way through the mash...

Kevin, Yes, yesterday I learned that is correct. I had a feeling that the software had me using too much water. And sure enough I ended up with a batch size much larger than planned for. And the low OG that goes with that.

Oh, that's interesting. So the program is noting that I am using a brewzilla g4 35 and is setting strike volume from that. Which means I should probably just accept that

Does this work? https://web.brewfather.app/tabs/recipes/recipe/DGgfAKFV6GQI0HzjVu8X1sz74gAR1l

Good morning all, Today I will be brewing with Brewfather for first time. I'd like to see if others can view a Brewfather profile from the link In particular, I'd like comments on the ratio of strike water to sparge water. It's 15 liters to 10 liters, which seems like a lot to me...

Well, that's interesting.

Bobby, Tell me a bit more about that. You draw off from the low, side mounted accessory drain. Do you run a hose from there, outside and up and over the top and then poking into the pipe lift hole? I can see there are many ways to do this. That is, if you're into recreational plumbing...

I received the answer back from the good folk at Kegland: The heavy duty false bottom is better suited to digiboils more so than the brewzillas as it allow use without a malt pipe. The heat exchanger can be adapted to the heavy duty false bottom but it would then leave your malt pipe...

Right. A long thin tube into the interwall space, and down below the level of liquid, and angled to whirlpool. That's the way. for me, anyway.

Doug, a follow up question about how to fix it. I get that the interwall wort is stagnant, and I get how this causes some decrease in efficiency. But I don't want to fix the efficiency issue if it means overly oxegenating the wort. So what's the best way to fix it without oxygenating the...

The idea of accepting a slightly lower efficiency is a common theme in the AIO community. I think I now understand the move toward AIO. It's a deliberate trade off between a small loss of efficiency and a huge gain in ease of use. Everybody in the community talks about efficiency so much...
