Yeah I'm starting to see that I like a lower mash thickness ...I do see the dead space option but I thought that was only for losses. As in unrecoverable wort? Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

So I have done 2 AG brews so far and have had a similar problem both times regarding my mash thickness. My first batch had 20lb of grain at 1.25qt/lb and my second had 16lb grain at 1.5qt/lb. I thought my mash was real thick the first brew but just went with it. My second I couldnt even cover...

No I didn't check it anytime other than at kegging. For several days I didn't see any activity in the airlock...I stared at it for 15 mins once....I thought that was a sign of complete fermentation...I will take more samples next time...I didn't really want to remove the airlock untill I had...

My first batch of AG has now been kegged. I was pretty close to my target OG of 1.053 with measured OG of 1.052. I left in fermenter for 14 days. My question is on beersmith it allows you to enter gravity at the end of primary and then FG at bottling. Why would they be different? I racked...

I have never used a corny keg but I believe they are the same size as a 1/6 sankey. I rarely buy kegs of that size and have never had 3 at the same time. I don't think it will fit because of how my regulator is positioned. its possible if I turn the regulator so it runs along the back side of...

The interior dimension are as follows: 16.25" deep and 21.5" wide. The compressor hump on the rear left sets in 3.75" and is about 11" wide however it tapers from the 3.75" to 0" over the 11"...make sense?...You can see in the attached pics that with a 1/4 barrel sankey there is still a lot of...

I have that exact kegerator purchased from beverage factory. I picked it up about 1.5 years ago and its been pretty good so far. If I did it all over (which I have) I built another one from a small chest freezer and an stc1000 to control the temperature. The only issue with the Haier is I had...

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I will be kegging and planned on aging for 30 days at 65F while under pressure for 2.5v/v. that of course was out of secondary but I am not opposed to skipping the secondary for my first brew.

Ok I may be misinterpreting the verbiage on the vial. It says "add to 5 gal of aerated wort or must at 70-75F. Keep at this temperature until fermentation begins" Im not sure if "must" is a brewing term I have yet to learn?. Also I am taking the temp from a glass of water placed beside...

Hey I just did my first batch of AG yesterday and I am glad to say that everything went quite well. I am now 24hrs into fermentation using German Ale Kolsch WLP029. Beersmith tells me to ferment at 67F while the yeast vile tells me 70-75F. Right now it is sitting at 66F and there is lots of...

I did also check the ph of the water warming up at several points between 70F and 140F. Ph rise seemed to be pretty linear.

Hello so I know there is lots of info on this but I have questions regarding my ph measuring equipment. First off I am new to AG brewing and am doing my first batch this Sunday. I chose to wait till today to play with my PH meter and try to figure it out. My meter is a EcoTestr PH2 with auto...

I checked out jaybirds ..he makes one with 1.25 inch tall bottom but is rather expensive. I was looking at one on homebrewing.org for half the price. I know it's not the same thickness ss but other than that does it work better and is therefore worth the extra cost?

Hey everyone new to the forum. I have recently purchased bayou classic 82qt stock pot set for use in my brewery. I am trying to find a suitable false bottom and I have come accross 2 different websites u can buy one. My question is this. How far off the bottom should my false bottom...
