Hello brainboxes. I´ve been brewing biab 10 gallon batches for about 2 years now and for the first couple of batches struggled with efficiency. After I made myself a grain mill things took a turn for the better and eventually I could rely on an 80 % efficiency. After a few incidents with the...

Hey guys. Bought myself a fermentap aeration system. Its a small pump with an inline filter and a 2 micron diffusion stone. Boiled the stone for the recommended 2-3 minutes and tried it out in a glass of water. No bubbles. I searched the internet and found some advice about boiling it longer...

This last saturday I brewed a 10 gal batch of tri centennial ipa. Its all grain biab. I tried for the first time a temp profile mash and wound up with a higher efficiency than i have had in the past. Did a 60 min boil, chilled with an immersion chiller. Put the whole batch in a 14 gal plastic...

I am new to biab. On my 7th batch now. Very early got the beersmith 2 software. My setup is a 70 liter kettle with a 5500 w heating element, an immersion chiller. When i brew, i go for a 40 liter batch, which is around 10 gallons. I always put the recipe into the beersmith to check how much...

Hi guys. Doing a BIAB 10gal batch, is it good or bad business using less than the prescribed amount of water in the mash? Because i recently had my sg and og too low. Probably because i put in maybe 0.5 gal too much water. So i thought better too over shoot the sg by using less water and being...

Hi guys. Planning a brewday on saturday. It's going to be a Sam Adams winter lager clone. I do an all grain BIAB 10 gallon batch and have just recently acquired a temp controller for one of my extra fridges. Just wondering cause this is my first lager, after boiling the wort do i chill it down...

Hi guys. Just carbonated a batch at 14 psi for 3 days. Happy with it, no leaks no problems. But once i lowered the pressure down to serve i noticed the lid is leaking. I guess the 14 psi was pressing it enough to properly seal but 1 or 2 will not. So my question is, is it wise to purge it and...

Hi guys. As an allgrain BIAB kinda guy, what are the keys to that thick mustache tickling foam we all love?

Hey everybody. Big fan of Sam Adams winter lager. Anyone got a nice clone to get me through the coming holiday season?

Hi guys. Been wondering if i should get my own grain crusher. The neighbourhood store can do it for me(for a price) but a buddy of mine was complaining that they crush it too fine. Is that a problem or is finer better? I dont mean flour fine but maybe 3-4 mm granules. Is there any chemical...

Hi guys, i'm new to homebrewtalk.com. On my 5th allgrain right now and i'm noticing a rather annoying trend. Everytime my FG is 6,7,8 points higher than i'm aiming for. Fermenters are 5 gallon buckets w/ airlocks. I keep my temps around 70, or as close as I can, maybe a 5, 6 degree swing. I've...
