    Strike water volume for 5 gallons mash tun

    I go with 1.25 qts/lb. I haven't brewed anything much bigger than 1.060 in my 10 gallon mash tun as a 10 gallon batch.

    More grain vs improving efficiency

    A Higher brewhouse efficiency will get you more wort of the same gravity. You'll get more sugars into you boil kettle and your fermentor with higher efficiency. This means you'll have something like 6 gallons of 1.050 wort vs 1.045. With more grain you're compensating for getting 65% brewhouse...

    Setting a Monster Mill Correctly

    I have a pump and I'd LOVE to be able to do a continuous recirculation. I have parts/dreams of doing a 3 keg single tier setup with pumps so part of this might be moving towards the end goal. Once I get the gap set to where I like it it's one less component to mess with and one step closer to...

    Fermenting on top of old yeast cake?

    Enjoy. http://brulosophy.com/projects/exbeeriments/ Plenty of yeast pitching experiments here you can look over. As some have said don't pitch a light beer on a dark beer. Do something like a 1.045, 1.060-1.08, 1.100 in that order and light to darker and you'll be fine. You could also do...

    Temperature Control Recommendations

    ITC-308. It costs the same as building an STC/ITC 1000. If you want to get fancy go for the 310 and set fermentation schedules for lagers.

    A friendly place for friends who drink

    This place isn’t so friendly. I didn’t read that post a few pages ago where someone said the same thing

    Oxygenation

    I wear gloves when I handle my stone. I store it in StarSan between uses. The pH will kill the oils easy. It’s the easiest way to make sure I don’t touch it and it stays clean. The only times I’ve had problems are when I don’t make sure to get all the liquid out before...

    Yeast Propagation question

    I’ll make it easier. 1500ml starter. After krausean settles pull it off the stir plate and add it to a 500ml flask/mason jar with yeast suspended. You’ll have 100 billion cells almost every time. If you want consistency or a method to follow just google “homebrewdad yeast...

    Setting a Monster Mill Correctly

    Anyone else have good information for a gap setting on a monster mill? I picked up a MM2 Pro and have it set at 0.036”. Also what I should look for as far as cracked grain.

    Cost of CO2?!?

    Locally we have an ice manufacturing facility that fills them for about $20. I have 2 20s (Craigslist) and to swap them at a hydroponic shop it's about $25 if they're expired and need a certification. Same tank is about $10 less without it.

    Glad they made it safe. The Leafy Greens and Hop Anatomy are seasonal in case you want more. I haven't had either.
