So I think I figured out what was wrong the dry hop mesh bag I had at the top of the keg lid hanging with a magnet fell in and I think it’s been in the wort since I closed it and didn’t notice. so I took it out and added more yeast and agitatated it. I know the flavor might be off when it...

Thanks for all the great feedback.. I’m at the fermentation stage I have a chest freezer hooked up to a inkbird and a construction shop light and it’s set at about 69 degrees also have a dry hop on Friday to drop they’re being held with magnets I know it’s not good to have high expectations and...

It’s about 1.054

I might have read the gravity wrong will know when I’m done… also the started with 8.5gals I’m down to about 6.5 right now I added more boil time because there was way too much water after the mash so I’ll check again and see if it was a reading error on my part. I didn’t really expect a good...

Yea probably trial and error I guess I did squeeze out the grain for 15 minutes i didn’t do a sparge but I did crush it twice so I thought a sparge wasn’t necessary also maybe I didn’t read the the gravity right this is my first time I’m hoping it was I didn’t read it right lol

I didn’t have a target for the pre boil the target for the post boil is 1.064

10.30 pre boil gravity

I didn’t write that correctly I added it at the start of mash and I checked it at around 15 to 20 minutes and and I got 5.4 also I checked pre boil ph it’s correct at 5.3

I crushed it twice and added the lactic acid after 20 minutes the ph was 5.4 after mash out its 5.3 and that’s what it calls for

It reach target mash ph about 20 minutes I’m up to the boil phase now

Just started my first ever brew day and so far so good got the mash ph to 5.3 I’m so excited no over flow and it was a big batch 8.5 gals of water plus 12lbs of grain it’s going good 32 min left in the mash

So I just built my clawhammer anyone notice the threading is weird I add the tape but the levers done sit at the top as shown in the videos when I tighten it down it ended up on the bottom is that normal?

Just got one on Facebook marketplace for cheap

It fits and I got a sanke to corny adapter it fits but I want a deep freeze so it fits with a little bit more room

My biggest fear is temperature I know it’s important I bought a ambient temp thermostat I want my yeast to be happy so I get a good result

I have Brewfather on my phone
