I was just reading this article this morning. Getting a Boot In the Brewhouse Door

I agree with Drunklejon it adds some nice orange color to the head and also adds to the mouthfeel. I was thinking about leaving out the pumpkin but I am glad I didn't. This is a great recipe I would highly recommend brewing this one.

The spreadsheets should probably read "Volume Needed" not preboil volume. Your preboil is simply the boil-off + batch size.

Oops! Didn't pickup the before removing the grains. What AJF said...

Your right on the money now. I used a 9 gallon pot for quite a while, now I have a keggle. I like to keep things simple so when I wanted to do a bigger beer I would just change the batch size to what I could fit in my pot. Never bothered me to make 4 gallons instead of 5. If you do want to...

Check out the spreadsheets on the link below. I use the google docs version and as you get your system dialed in you can adjust the absorption. I squeeze the bag a lot and have the absorption set to .05 gallons per pound. Should probably use the default and adjust from there. As far as mash...

How long have they been in the fridge? Sometimes being refrigerated for awhile helps to set the carbonation into the beer.

From what I understand there really isn't much if anything to convert in pumpkin. The one I did was based on the below recipe and others who BIAB in the thread steeped the pumpkin and had good results. Next year I am steeping it. I spilled quite a bit of wort lifting the bag out and I am...

I just did a pumpkin BIAB this past weekend and I wouldn't put the pumpkin in the mash at all. Just steep the pumpkin in a 5 gallon paint strainer bag until you hit your strike temperature. Then take it out and add your grains in your regular bag like you usually do with your setup. The wort...

I tried adding sugar to that Saison first, just be ready to cap it. When I added sugar to the bottle it foamed up.

I re-bottled a Saison once and got away with it. :p Figured what the hell I didn't like it undercarbed so what was the worst that could happen. If you attempt this I would maybe pour them into a bottling bucket then siphon to the keg. I poured really slow so I didn't splash I think that...

I've only done one beer with cocoa powder and had a lot of sediment in the bottles. I would rack it to a secondary only to try and reduce the sediment. I don't ever secondary anything but probably would if using powder again. Hope it comes out great I am going to be brewing this recipe maybe...

Brewed this a while ago haven't tried it yet it's still aging. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f73/pious-westvleteren-12-style-quad-multiple-147815/

I have played with some of those recipes in Brewtarget and I don't think the hops scaled down correctly in the recipes. I wonder if they are grams instead of ounces. 13 grams would be close to .5 oz.

I use the spreadsheet below and it has been very accurate since I dialed it in. My absorption is set down to .05 but I squeeze the bag. Get a pair of PVC gloves from Harbor Freight or Home Depot and you can use a bit less water. I have a keggle now but was using a 9 gallon pot and would...

Here's mine you have to love BIAB. :mug:

Northern Brewers Patersbier. It's simple and a fantastic beer.

I use the Google docs version on this page. Dialed in the absorption and it's right on the money every time. Really simple. http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2012/03/start-all-grain-brewing-for-4-water.html
