I will do that. Thank you for the info

I like your suggestion. I use silicone gloves for squeezing the bag but it's still pretty hot.

Yes, I have milled my last five brews with no issues. It's a pretty good grind with all husk being cracked and a fare amount of powder. Thanks for your feedback 👍

I've never brewed a beer before with this much grain. It was too much for my kettle (8 gal). Lesson learned. The recipe is from the brew store I purchased it from and it was not designed for BIAB so it required a sparge. Another lesson learned. Thanks for your feedback

I think you onto something. I just added the water to the kettle. Next time I will heat any additional water up to 170 and sparge with it. I've never had this problem before but this is a higher OG beer than I've ever brewed. Thanks for your feedback

I always cool the wort to 68 before taking a hydrometer read in. I think we can dismiss that. Might have been short changed on the grain. I will always measure in the future. I did let (not on purpose) the mash temp drop down to 140 before heating back up to 154 and stirring. Lol, I love your...

Answer to your questions: I did not weight the grains myself. (I will in the future) The grain was milled that day with the same 2 roller mill I have used many times before (husk all cracked with fair amount of dust) I let the bag drain for a while and then squeezed it until I could get no...

Answer to your question: 1) Mash water volume was 5 gallons. It was 4 gallons after draining and squeezing bag. I added 2 gallons prior to boil for 6 gallons in kettle. Ended up with a little over 4.5 gallons in kettle after boil. Grain was milled that day with the same 2 roller mill I have...

Just looking for some input to the results of my last brew. Here are the specifics BIAB Target 5 Gallions, Actual 4.5 Style: IPA Grain: 15# Mash: 1 hour, no sparge, recirculation with recirculation rinse. PH 5.4 Boil: 1 hour, with three Hop additions Target OG 1.074, Actual 1.060 Target FG...

I have beer in a keg and did not use any finings yet. Why can't I draw some beer from the keg and mix with gelatin instead of water and add it back in?

Thanks for the guidance

I've been home brewing beer for a couple years now. So today I picked up a Root Beer Extract. It says to add surgar, water, extract, & yeast. Questions: I'm confused; Wont the yeast convert the sugar into alcohol? Can't I just skip the yeast and force carbonate with co2 in a keg?

I think your onto the problem. I think this is justification to get my own mill 😃. Also I'm going to start doing a better job at knowing what my OG is prior to adding more water plus have DME on hand. Thanks again for your help.

Grains/malts: 7 lbs of American Pale 2 row malt 7 lbs of Munich Malt 4 oz Belgian Aromatic Malt 4 oz Honey Malt 4 oz Victory Malt 3 oz Medium Crystal Malt 1 oz Black Malt 1.075 Estimated OG 1.022 Estimated FG The grains were milled by the place that I purchased...

I think I started with too much water after the mash (6.5 gal) then boiled off more then I anticipated. Will the OG after mash be any different from the OG after boil while compensating for temperature each time? Thanks for the help

Five days ago I brewed an All Grain Dopplebock. Everything went well from the mash through to the end of my 90 minute boil until I noticed I was about 1 gallon low on my desired wort volume (5-1/2 gal) for the fermenter. Being somewhat of a newbie I didn't take my OG reading until after I...

Count me in please!

How do you do the conversation if alcohol is present (FG I'm assuming)?

Cool! Thanks, I was wondering if it was going to be noticeable.

Not for the reading. It is what my "TILT" is showing. I will use a hydrometer after two weeks.
