Thank you, it was Rice husk...not corn. I edited my question post. Thanks again.

I remember reading somewhere that with all grain brewing (which I am new to), to prevent the mash from sticking/clogging when brewing a recipe with a lot of malts you can add rice husk to prevent the sticking. However, although it doesn’t add anything to the wort, how much should be used per...

I turned the fridge off and opened the door and wrapped bucket with a blanket. Once it warms up a little I’ll turn the fridge back on and crack the door open A little. Since I love lagers, I think it will make sense to invest in a dedicated fridge with external temp controller or a small...

Thanks, that would make sense...I never thought about that. I have the fridge set to 44 (max) and wrapped the bucket in a blanket. I’ll check it later in the day and see if it starts bubbling again. If not I’ll take it out and warm it up a bit until it starts bubbling then try again in the...

Hi all, I’m currently layering an Octoberfest in an empty refrigerator. The instructions call for 50-55 degrees but the warmest my fridge will go is 43 degrees. Once it was actively fermenting, I put the batch in the fridge but now it has either stopped fermenting or has slowed to the point of...

Thank you to both of you. You both provided the missing info the video’s didn’t. Wish me luck, I will make the starter tonight and brew this weekend.

Hi all, I’m starting a yeast starter for a 5 gal Octoberfest after watching a few online videos. I’m using 2 cups water to 1/2 cup DME. My question is: How long should you let it grow before pitching into the Octoberfest wort. I’m trying to plan the starter to the brew day. Thank you for...

Thanks for the info....might be easier in the long run to go electric.

I’m working on 3 different recipes for this beer but haven’t brewed it yet. Note that # is a partial mash. I’m waiting to purchase a new all grain system before trying them. As of now, I’m still stuck with mini mashes with a single pot.

Does anyone own a Blichmann Glycol Chiller? If so, have you had any problems with it? I’m looking to purchase a chiller with a 14 gal fermentor and wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with them...good or bad. Rob

Hi all, Is there anyone in the Las Vegas area brewing with a Ruby Street, Spike Brewing Trio, or Blichmann Pilot, or Blichmann BrewEasy gas or electric system that is willing to let me show me the system in use during your next brew? I am contemplating purchasing one of these systems and making...

Thank you for the information. Now I have a starting place and will use distilled as my water profile in BeerSmith. It will be close enough for me for making beer. I’m also gonna try using the software to make some small different batches of water for making pizza (‘Chicago & NY) to see if...

Hi all, I have been making beer (extract and mini mash) with reverse osmosis water for about 10 years with good results. I just finished reading Brad Smiths Beer making book before I plunge into an all grain setup. He talked about water profiles and the importance for proper mashing. I live...

I’m interested in purchasing one of these systems also...so I’m following the thread. I’m leaning towards 10 gal gas system because I have a gas feed in my garage feeding my hot water heater...instead of running 220v lines x2. But I’m also trying to decide between RIMS/HERMS.

Does anyone have a clone recipe for: great western copper ale clone?
