@cactusgarrett (or anyone else), I input all your ingredients into a calculator, assuming 70% efficiency and a volume of 6 gallons, and using your SRM numbers. I came up with a total SRM of 26.4 rather than the 16 SRM that you indicated. Did you actually mean 26 rather than 16? Why such a...

Thanks once again!

Thanks, @huckdavidson. When transferring the the secondary, should you transfer some of the yeast cake as well, or is there enough in suspension?

Sorry, I meant 3763 alone (I'll edit that in my post). Thanks. I might try just pitching 3763 alone. If doing so, will I need to use any maltodextrine? And would there be any need for a secondary? Thanks!

Are there any updates on whether the recipe works better with both WY1056 and WY3763, or with 1056 alone? Also is MD and secondary needed if going with 3763 alone? Thanks for the great recipe! I'm going to try it in January.

Probably doesn't make any difference.

The holes in the screens are too big and allow a lot of crushed grain through. Yes, I use the pipe as it makes it much easier to do the sparge (I use a spinning sparge device that sits on the top of the pipe). It is easiest to use a grain bag that fits exactly to the outside of the pipe rather...

I use a GrainBag over my pipe and never have that issue. I use the same Grain Bag (after cleaning/sterilizing) when I transfer to my fermentor (catching the hop, hot and cold break), and end up with almost no trub in my fermentor. The GrainBags they make fit perfectly, and are incredibly easy to...

Hi @tderanleau, did you receive any additional information from the Brewer at Paulaner?

the result of using Weyermann's aciduated malt will taste very different than using actual sauergut. A friend and I have been experimenting with it for the past year. Many of the German breweries, such as Hacker-Pschorr, use it. I've never been able to determine whether or not Paulaner uses it...

WLP820 is another possibility.

Where did you find that information?

Thanks @tderanleu. Paulaner Oktoberfest is definitely one of my favourites, and I have tried to clone it in the past. Regarding your recipe, I would add sauergut to give it more of an authentic taste (see below). If you have a chance, can you verify whether they still add sauergut (in order to...

The device itself should have a warranty, I believe.

That is quite concerning. Have you written to Kegland about the issue? I just received mine an hour ago. I tried using the QC scan to download the manual and got a message - on the Kegland page itself - that the page could not be found! I believe that the item has only been out for less than a...

No need for the whirlpool or even to wait. There is a screen at the bottom that will filter out most of the trub. In addition, you can use the same brew bag, place it in the fermenter, and drain the wort from the Brewzilla through the brew bag into the fermenter. That's the process I use, and...

Thanks!

I ordered the HED and the Bluetooth thermometer probe a couple of days ago (not yet arrived), hoping for better control of the mash temperature. which has been quite unacceptable to date. Regarding the thermometer, how do you get the Brewzilla to prioritize the probe temperature reading over...

Has anyone used the new Heat Exchanger for the Brewzilla Gen 4? Did it make any noticeable difference?

No, I haven't tried that. You would likely have to use more grain to get the gravity up to where you wish. Should be less astringent.
