Hi all- Doing a BIG IPA for a birthday brew on Friday. Banging my head again wall here....Using Brewer's Friend (which is great), but the Mash Calculator is driving me nuts. Need help with what my mash Ph is (Thinking 5.45 is a great target) System is Blichmann BrewEasy, this using full volume...

Hey hey.....I made jump from partial mash to all grain 3 years ago. I have 10 gallon Blichmann BrewEasy....See the thread on it here. Electric is the way to go IMO....I never saw need for 3 vessel system...Just more to clean. If I can make 10-15 gallon batches at 65% efficiency, that works for...

Made a similar version of this last year, came out great. Decided to bump OG up (looking for 8% ABV, dry stout, roasty coffee/chocolate, not overly sweet), decided to go with Omega British Ale I (WLP007), previously used Irish Ale Yeast with great results. Added roasted barley to mix as well...

Kegged yesterday- FG= 1.016 (7%) I'll take it, hopefully it won't be too sweet.

Should I repitch?

Also: sample was super clear, very unlike Conan. I pumped it to 70 and dry hopped today.

I used Omega DIPA for a NE IPA I brewed two weeks ago: took gravity reading= 1.017-1.020ish. OG was 1.070 (6 gallon batch). 2.5 L starter on stirplate. I’m really disappointed. Had it at 67-68 whole way, bubbled steady (not vigorously) for a week. I was hoping 1.010-1.012 FG. I’ve used this...

How's this look for a NE IPA I am doing Saturday?: https://www.brewersfriend.com/mash-chemistry-and-brewing-water-calculator/?id=SH63LXF

Awesome stuff. Thanks so much everyone! Good to know I have great brewing water!

You need 5 gallons to cover the boilcoil in 20 gallon boilermaker.

Hi all....A couple of questions on water/efficiency. Due to my well water, which has a Ph of 7.7, I can't get my mash Ph (according to EZ Water Calc & Brewer's Friend) below 5.6 (that's with salt additions). My system is the Blichmann Breweasy, and my efficiency expectations are around 65-70%...

Let's try this again: AKDY 36" 760 CFM Convertible Wall Mount Range Hood in Silver (GVBI36S) Bought it on WayFair for $182. Suits my needs just fine...Fan is powerful, LED lights which help over the BK...Even has a timer, which I use as my boil timer.

Agree with previous 2 posters...I'm still trying to get decent efficiency (I would be fine with 65%)...I'm still working on that. As stated, there is a learning curve. That being said, I'm making very good beer, less to cleanup....Not sure a 3 vessel system would ever make sense for me. (I...

Thanks again. Channeling certainly has been an issue as well, will work on that.

My pre-boil OG was 1.048 = 10.5 gallons. Sorry for the confusion, after the mash, I wound up with 12.5 gallons @ 1.040. I boiled down to 10.5 gallons @ 1.048 So i started my 60 minute boil of 10.5 gallons.

Started with 16 gallons of water.

Thanks for the help, it is appreciated. I did not hit my pre boil gravity, I hit 1.048 (1.053 expected) Still dialing in my settings on Brewer's Friend- Had 1.5 gallons extra pre-boil on Sunday: 12.5 gallons in kettle @ 1.040 I boiled off 1.5 gallons in 1 hour (99% power), so now my...
