Just learned about underletting , makes my brew day easier and more efficient.👍

The hopper on my barley crusher drops the grain into the rollers easily a 1/2” away from the roller ends. The hopper comes to within a 1/4” of the rollers so there is no way whole kernels can bypass the gap. I think this might be where your problem is , post a pic of your mill.

I used this method this morning to brew a Blonde Ale , worked great. So the terminology for this method is underletting? I added 4 degrees to my strike water and hit my mash temperature dead on , if it had been a little high , stirring could cool it down .

I’m finishing up an Irish Red , fermented at 66f , when airlock slowed to a bubble per minute, I ramped up the temperature to 74 over 2 days . It’s been 10 days and fermentation has stopped. Now I’m cold crashing to 34F for 4 days , then I’ll keg. This is pretty much my same procedure for most...

I just went to Ritebrew and Morebeer made a sample order for 20# Breiss 2 row and 20 #Bairds Maris Otter , Morebeer was $65.96 and Ritebrew was $67.34. Shipping is going up all across the board for many reasons, increased future fuel costs , for one , COVID screwed every body and the shippers...

Grampamark, with only stirring for 20-30 seconds, are the temperatures throughout the mash tun even ? I’m thinking that the temperature would tend to be warmer towards the bottom of the mash tun .

For a video on how to wire and program an Inkbird PID controller go to youtube and search “how to wire an Inkbird PID controller “from George from barley and hops brewing. Great videos, explained so you can understand and George is a character, you’ll enjoy and learn.

I usually mash at 153-154 but after 60 minutes I would be down to about 148-149. So staying closer to the 153 mark would give the. Glucoamylase something more to work on and thus burn itself out ?

I have not used any glucoamylase as of yet, I want a little more dryness in my beers , but not 1.000 dry . I would be putting it in when I pitch the yeast for the same reason you stated. Only place I can find it is online , my LHBS is not local anymore since we moved an hr south of civilization...

My beers usually end up at about .010 to .015 , if I used 1/2 tsp for 10 gallons, would that bring me down to about .005 to .008?

I have only ever pitched one packet per 5 gals and ferment at 66 degrees finished about 1.009 to 1.015 for a 1.052 starting gravity

Always wanted to try the Sous vide cooking

20 watt plant heat mat with the Inkbird 308 controller for 12 gal in a 1/2 bbl fermenter in a 7 cf chest freezer

The round igloo type water coolers have a hollow lid. I drilled holes in the underside of the lid and injected small crack filling foam . Don’t add too much ( drill multiple holes) the foam will expand the lid . With preheating the cooler mash tun with mash water 5 degrees above the calculated...

Less than 10 bucks and 20 min time

Bullit piercing valve and a can of auto 134a refrigerant plus 20 minutes of your time . How to videos on YouTube. I revived 2 9 cu ft chest freezers and 2 full sized kitchen sized refrigerators with this method, it’s easier than you think. My aunt has a 1965 Electrolux freezer that had not...
