    First foray into All Grain - Is my grain bill too weak?

    That is correct a slight cooking so that they don't gum up in your Mash. get them cooked then dump them in with the rest.

    First foray into All Grain - Is my grain bill too weak?

    with 5# of grain and the adjuncts your OG on this is only going to hit somewhere between 1.024-1.026. and around 2.5%ABV

    Poor Efficiency- looking to improve

    Crush should have hulls intact and just a wee bit of flour.

    First foray into All Grain - Is my grain bill too weak?

    For a two gallon batch it looks like you should end up with a pale 5% if you hit 60% which should be too easy. I am sure it will be 70%

    Help brewday in progress

    If you are doing a 90min boil roll it 30 min then add your bittering hop and go from there. Or you could do a FWH it would effect the end bittering but unless you are competing with this brew I would not worry. RDWHAHB!! On the forum there is a brew day timer do a search and snag that. It...

    Going to try a mead again - need a few pointers

    I would have to agree with rmck1 the Mead bug will bite I started with MAOM then Blue heaven then a Cyser Whoa!!!!!! I had to stop .....LMAO. EC-1118 is a good yeast, I used it for the second two and WL sweet mead for the MAOM. Definitely aerate really well and give it the nutrient and energizer.

    Saison....Warm fermentation????? Why?

    Alright I am going to make a Saison Brasserie Dupont Clone. My question is why the warm darn near hot ferment temps? I see that the yeast strain likes a 70-80 degree fermentation but pushing it seems out of character for a beer that was made during fall and spring for the summer months. There...

    Belgian Wit Blunder !!!!!ARRRRRRRRRGGGH!!

    I just realized that I forgot to put my Coriander in the boil!!!:mad: :mad: Any suggestions on what to do now. I was thinking to either toast the coriander or microwave it to kill nasties then put it in the primary. But on second thought maybe it will be too strong a flavor if that...

    Belgin Wit!

    LMAO... I grew up in Annapolis!!!!!:rockin: Coriander and Orange peel near the end of the boil. some say 5min some say 15min. The mash would be the same amount of time as any AG recipe. That is a lighter bodied beer so 150 for 60min should do you fine. That is about as far as I can go...
