I've got a saison I'm planning to brew tomorrow and I will be doing a 90 min mash and a 2 hr boil. Curious if I need to lower my mash efficiency or my boil off in my calculations to avoid over sparging. I've got my calculations at 75% efficiency although it's generally a bit higher than that...

I am finishing up a brutus build (2nd one I've done) and wanted to run some things by you guys for wiring up my panel. My build has 2 love controllers, 2 stc gas solenoid valves and 2 march pumps. The main power from the wall to my control panel is a heavy duty extension cord piece, 14 gauge I...

Thanks for the quick responses. can you email me that chart? I cant seem to open it. I dont have a rapidshare account. thanks.

5th or 6th batch underway here and Im making an Imperial IPA. 18lbs of grain and loads of hops!! (5 gallon batch) I am mashing in at 1.5 qts / lb and thats 6.75 gallons plus the .75 under the false bottom. I have fly sparged all bathes to date and have been curious about batch sparging...

for what its worth i ended up using these burners and I have a lowpressure regulator hooked up to all the automated parts under the HLT, MLT... I then bought a 0-10 psi regulator and run that one under the boil kettle. It works great and gives me plenty of flame for 10 gallon batches in my...

Im using a PH meter... I also have lactic acid on hand... Ill probably cut the water in half with RO and then add back some CaCL and use acid. I want to cut the water in order to get the bicarbonate down below 50, then bring back the Ca. Not sure how much Ca to bring back... Palmer recommends...

I understand that Im going to need some acid... What Im really curious about is if I can still brew a great german pils with this water (and acid) or if I need to dilute it a bunch with distilled. My sulfate is at 49.5 which is right at the bottom end of Palmers range for desired level so...

I have read the primer on brewing water, Ive read Fix's book on brewing science. I also use the brewing water spreadsheets... My questions are more about specific types of pilsner and the water in munich and what sort of pilsner everyone thinks that I could possibly pull off with my water or...

I have just recently started messing with my Ph and salt additions and think that now is a great time to try my first pilsner. Here is my water profile. Ca 36.7 Mg 4.3 Na 30.2 Cl 21.5 SO4 49.5 HCO3 95 This water has served me well for a long time, It is well suited for the types of...

No one?

Finishing up my build and working on some wiring.... What size wire is needed for the stc valves? How much current do they draw? I am getting some wire from grainger http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/electrical-wire-and-cable/wire-and-cable/electrical/ecatalog/N-8isZ1z0lkkv/No-0 and am going...

So Im at the end of my build and need hoses and disconnects. I really dont want to spend the money on SS quick disconnects even though I really want them. Any reason not to go with cam locks? Next... I see people talking about the flow rate of the barbed fittings... Is it problamatically...
