Hi all, So I moved to all grain and brewed a founders breakfast stout clone, a smash with cascade hops, and a red ale IPA. One thing seemingly obvious is there is a lot more trub loss with all grain, so I don't have my volumes correct. Ie: I just racked my red ale dry hopped tonight for the...

Hi all, Today I started at 430pm, grinding grains. I toasted 2 lbs English 2row at 350 15 min, then 275 20 min. Ground those and 12lbs untoasted english malt for the base. strike water 170 5 gal, came in a little hot, brought down to 155, mashed 60 min, sparged approx 3 gal, to yield 7gal boil...

Hi, I am switching to all grain finally, and was able to get a 28 qt. turkey fryer for only 20.00 from my brother in law. I will mash in a cooler, but want to boil in the fryer. My concern is when I plugged it up last night, I noticed the heating elements are actually INSIDE the bottom of the...

Hi, I used to brew wine years ago, but this was my first home brew. I did a few things I should not have and wonder if that is why it is the way it is. First it is a true brew Octoberfest kit. I steeped the malt and sanitized everything so that was not the problem. I pitched the yeast too...

Hi, I am new to brewing and very excited! I have my first batch going now but it is a true brew octoberfest, just so I can learn the basics first. I figured a kit was the best first step to take although I know it will not be as good as future brews. I think this is going to result in a low...
