MedNeedles - I was curious about your crush, thanks for the info. I used my cereal killer grain mill, set at the same numbers as it came from Adventures in Homebrewing (the settings have been fine for my previous BIAB batches). I was making a black ipa with 26 lbs of 2-row with 4 lbs of other...
I just used my 10 gallon breweasy for the first time last night. It was pretty fun and I think everything went well, however my eff was way low at roughly 60%. I used the 1.25 gal washer and just trusted the temp controller for temps. Before I brew again I will calibrate the brewmometer's...
I recently purchased a gas version of the Blichmann Breweasy for 10 gallon batches. I googled the above title and found one post regarding this topic, but it is on another homebrew forum that I do no subscribe to so I can't ask the guy any questions. I am wondering if any other breweasy owners...

Used mine for the first time last Saturday. I had much less trub in the bk after cool down. I should now be able to really dial in brewsmith for future batches. Unfortunately I have misplaced the dry hop bag so I can't comment on that. The hop bag works great too.
I've yet to venture into any kind of wine, but my wife would like something done with all of our rhubarb. Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but would I top off the fermenter each time I would transfer? I'll prob do a 5 gallon batch and just xfer back and forth to my 5 gallon better bottles...
That's a great recipe...delicious beer. This is just my style, I use US-05 and Wyeast 1056 for a lot of my brews. US-05, for me, takes a long time to drop. In my opinion, 2 weeks minimum, and in 3 you'll have a nice clear beer to rack off.
Have fun with your adventure. Don't use your pasta spoon in your wort and don't forget to prime.....again!! Very jealous of your adventure, have fun.
