    What grind gap for my system?

    Good. Another reason to overnight mash.

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Ok. Done. I chose to deal with Buckeye. Mainly because of the phone support. As a Canadian, amazon seemed better at first, due to the high shipping cost from Buckeye. Russ was very helpful indeed. I think this is the only way to go. If you are going to buy a system, I think you...

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Thanks day_tripper Would this tankless option be sufficient? eighty bucks is better than two hundred bucks. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0897G8QDV?smid=A37OALT7GNXXGU&psc=1

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Do you have to buy a tank? @Bobby_M advises, helpfully, on a RO system. however, I see they all have tanks. I plan to only run it directly into the BK, so no need for a tank. But the only tankless options are the cheap $70 three stage kits. It appears that to get a good five stage RO...

    I would only use this for brewing. And don't need a tank as I'll follow your advice and put it directly into the brewing machine with a float

    Bobby, I'm having trouble finding those on my amazon.ca. Can you point me to a link? And is this perhaps the right one...

    What grind gap for my system?

    I see. That is helpful. That is why my guy mills at .039. It works for all his customer's jobs. I think I'll stay with my guy and have him double crush.

    What grind gap for my system?

    Good evening all. Question about the grind gap. I have a AIO Brewzilla gen 4 35 liter. I make three gallon batches. Overnight mash with a continuous and gentle vorlauf. Full volume mash, no sparge. My lhss grinds at 1 ml or .039 inch. He will do a double crush, which helps a bit...

    Second grind on one ml mill

    My supplier grinds my grains. His mill is set at one ml, or .039. I don’t own a mill. He won’t change the grind setting but will grind it twice for me if I wish. I do AIO in a Brewzilla gen 4. Three gallon batches. Full volume, no sparging. Thoughts?

    How much oxygen gets introduced to the wort when you add the grains?

    So for my three gallon batches and with 5 grams in a teaspoon it seems that one tsp sugar and one tsp yeast would do. And I should add my Brewtan and SMS at the same time I add the sugar and yeast, so my stirring happens before the lodo stage.

    How much oxygen gets introduced to the wort when you add the grains?

    One gram of yeast and one gram of sugar? And half an hour after pitching in warm water? Seems simpler.

    How much oxygen gets introduced to the wort when you add the grains?

    I have just started the practice of boiling and chilling the strike water. Quite easy to do. I was amazed how quickly my Jaded ic brought down the temperature. With no sugar in the water to hold heat, chilling to strike temp was just a few minutes.

    How much oxygen gets introduced to the wort when you add the grains?

    Would this indicate an advantage in AIO? In 3V you boil the strike water in your boiler and move it to your mash tun, which might add a tiny bit of O2.

    Bottle vs fermentation co2

    Sounds like the bottle oxygen is not an issue. And yes, fermentation gas is more convenient

    Bottle vs fermentation co2

    Hello all. I have heard that bottle co2 has a bit of oxygen in it. And fermentation gas does not Does it matter? Is the amount enough such that we should choose one over the other?

    Spunding valve between the two kegs or at the end of the chain?

    Right. So I can still purge at the beginning. And still carbonate at the end. And I think I still have my answer to the original question posted, which is that when I do add the spunging valve, I do it at the end of the daisy chain, so that both kegs are equally carbonated and I will...

    Spunding valve between the two kegs or at the end of the chain?

    Interesting. I do have temperature control. If pressure is contraindicated during fermentation then surely it follows that we should not naturally carbonate. Why is it ok to naturally carbonate at the end but not the beginning? It also makes we question why we have spunding valves...
