    Lactic acid into fermented beer to add sourness?

    I'm curious if the op's idea of adding lactic acid to a beer fermented with standard ale yeast like wlp001 could take the place of kettle souring? I've gotten the sour bug recently and would like to try making my own, but don't want to mess with bugs in my gear. For the recipes that call for...

    Welcome to the obsession. IMO there's no need to stir or shake the fermenter after yeast pitch, unless you are trying to rouse the yeast if you have a stuck fermentation or something like that. At yeast pitch, I just pour my yeast in the fermenter, close it up and let the yeast do their thing...

    Why not just add some boiled water and dilute it back down to your target OG?

    FWH: IBU calculation question

    There is also a new hop utilization method called the mIBU model. It is used in the Grainfather app and is supposed to be much more accurate for late addition modeling. Might be worth looking into. You can read a blog post about the model here: Maximum IBU (mIBU) in Beer

    All in one system sparging

    I heat my sparge water on the stove top in a large stock pot. I start it about 20 minutes from the end of the mash and it is hot when I'm ready to use it. It heats at the same time I'm mashing so no extra time required. Cheers!

    All in one system sparging

    I can't speak to any efficiency differences with cold versus hot sparge water, but I use hot water in my AIO because it reduces time to boiling. When I have used cooler sparge water, the wort temp drops during the sparge and then takes more time to heat to boiling. Using hot water for the sparge...

    All in one system sparging

    I have a Brewers edge mash and boil, original no pump version. I sparge and typically brew 3.25G batches with the occasional 5G batch. The M&B is a little small for full volume mashing on 5G batches IMO, but you could easily do it with a smaller batch. My BH efficiency is typically in the 75-78%...
