    Moldy Bag Salvageable?

    My experience it wont all come off but you can boil the crap out of it and still use it. Wont affect the flavour but made me feel uncomfortable lol.

    Alternative to Sauergut

    Did you ever try this RH? I have to admit i find this subject fascinating although somewhat confusing. Is a sauergut reactor basically a de oxygenated lacto starter?

    Do you drink your bad batches?

    Would love to see people drink some of the beers i have thrown away. Full on plastic or tcp. Some of it you would struggle to swallow a mouthful let alone finish a pint. :barf:

    Hunting the dreaded off-flavour.... marzipan.

    I use a recirculating system with a bag. If i boil i sparge and if its raw i do a full volume mash. I generally boil for an hour or more as i have slow boil off rate. Raw beers only go up to 75c.

    Hunting the dreaded off-flavour.... marzipan.

    I seem to be dong a similar method to you. The only difference would be i use a cube and fill it to the top. What a pita, i hope you manage to resolve it.

    Hunting the dreaded off-flavour.... marzipan.

    Have you made any raw beer recently? Wonder if you could detect it in a no boil.

    Do you drink your bad batches?

    Hell no. Down the drain. Life is too short to drink crap beer.

    Rheingold Extra Dry Lager - water profile

    I would use RO water with about 3g of calcium chloride. Mashing a couple of hours at 62c should get you down around 1004 to 1006.

    Brewing without scales

    My mate never weighs anything. He just chucks in malts and hops and has no idea what strength his beer is. Most of his beer is decent but impossible to recreate. FFS.

    Using hop tea to increase bitterness in a finished beer

    Because you will get less extraction.

    Using hop tea to increase bitterness in a finished beer

    I make no boil beers and getting 30IBU or more with a hop tea is not an issue. 25g of 10AA hops boiled for 30m in 1l of water will add 30IBU to 25l of wort. Add more water if it needed when boiling. I normally add about 500ml.

    How to proceed? 2nd pitch or not?

    I was in a similar situation once and added some glucoamylase thinking i could drop another 10 points. Went wrong and the beer dropped another 25 points down to 1008. Ended up 15.5% and still have not gotten around to bottling it.

    You know you're a home brewer when?

    You open the garage door and its been bricked up with beer crates.

    First go at fermented garlic

    I am on a vinegar forum and saw someone had made garlic wine then turned that into a balsamic type vinegar. Looked really good.
