Hi. Used WLP500 to brew this recipe last Saturday. Made a starter that got bubbling in 18 hours. It's been 4.5 days and no evidence of fermentation yet. No CO2 bubbling out the blowoff tube. I brew in a stainless steel conical so can't see inside. There has been sound of activity when put ear to...

Hi, I just brewed your recipe yesterday, 10 gallon batch. My OG worked out same as yours. Which for my experience is unbelievable. I brew with the BREWHA BIAC, an all in 1 vessel (mash, boil, ferment). And I have not been sparging. So, I think the difference was the 90 min mash, at 150...

Hi all. My 8 month old Chugger pump motor turns, but pump does not pump. I took it apart, examined, and no sign of impeller sticking or jammed. Reassembled and then motor would not turn, but got hot in 5 or so minutes. Disassembled again, noticed signs the pump back cover was sticking on the...

Just read your reply. Larger diameter hose, should never plug. I am very new to brewing. And have not considered cold-crashing to help the solids settle out. Thanks a lot.

Hi all, I've been getting some help from Nathan at BREWHA about this question. He is a fantastic help, and I want to give him all the credit in the world. He has given me help on a number of fronts since I began researching and bought a BIAC medium back in November 2014. (I don't get any...

Hi all, ...on my second batch. It was late on Sunday night. I am very relieved to see this thread. guess what I forgot to sanitize, the kegs. On top of that I had troubles with racking. I splashed a lot of beer into the kegs so not only no star san rinse in the kegs, but also a lot of air...

Hello Pappers, I brewed your recipe with my BREWHA BIAC 6 weeks ago. Not able to wait to age, and everyone is impressed at the taste. Thanks very much for sharing this recipe. Loved it so much, and so and shared with friends fast, decided to brew 10 gal. Ever do a 10 gal batch? How long did...

Thanks. Just getting into kegging and was wondering best way to clean a keg, without scratching. Thought I'd just use a microfiber cloth with PBW water. Do you know if you can scratch a keg using a corny keg brush?

Hello, just to clarify, are you controlling fermentation temp using the heating element at 5% power.? Thanks.

Hi Jimmy82 and those participating here, I'm back after a totally disconnected week of vacation. Thanks for your contributions to this thread. Here are some bits of info Nathan at BREWHA has so kindly offered relative to using the medium BIAC at its minimum batch size (on the BREWHA site =...

Thanks Jimmy82...I am a bit closer, asked some questions of Nathan and just send off a few more. Will post some feedback next day or so. Work a bit heavy right now.

Given 45 cm dia x 45 cm high cylinder section, plus cone volume, I expect the 6 gallon batch would have a pretty low mash slurry (liquid) level. How high up the cylinder is the liquid level with a 10 gallon batch?

Jimmy82, Thanks for your advice. Have you ever done a 6 gallon batch in your BIAC? How was the liquid to grain contact, mixing. Did you consider circulating wort while mashing? I totally agree the BIAC is a solid concept, minimal sanitation, a major plus. And for long term I think it's...

Thanks for your reply Snackson. What are your thoughts on brewing small (3 to 5 gallon) batches, vs. 10 gallon? - Ron8

Hi all you fans of electric brewing in a single vessel, When it comes to the BIAC system from BREWHA, I am very impressed by the ease of operation, cleanup, sanitation, small foot-print offered by the BIAC (in either the small or medium). For the record, I have no affiliation with BREWHA...

Please note: After posting this earlier today, I decided this should be better placed in its own thread. You may find the same post in a new thread in the Electric Brewing Forum. Sorry for any confusion. You of course are asked to post either here, or on the new thread, "All in One Electric...
