Thanks for the tip. I've been waiting on freshhops.com but spring has come early here.... so I went ahead and bit the bullet. I've had good luck with these folks and am hoping they are as generous with their roots as they are with their flowers.

This is the funniest thing I have heard today! ROFLMAO!

Dan, it takes a special kind of person to stay AG. The love of the hobby makes us want to achieve the best it can be. Going all-grain does mean more control and more to control. It doesn't mean your beers are going to be any better. If your good ,consistent and comfortable with PM then that's...

Or share it with your virtual drinkin buddies.:D

You are probably going to have to run this recipe a few times while adjusting the hop schedule. One suggestion I have is to adjust your OG down to the 1.056. If it were me I would adjust it to about 1.048. The 6.7% abv is a bit too much bite for this beer. IMHO It's a real interesting grain...

Biermann, give the heavies at least a year. Try to keep the temperature as stable as possible. I think you'll be surprised if you can tolerate the wait.

Evan, go with HB Bill's suggestion. BTW , I love that yeast too!

I think its your PH. Order some 5.2 Ph buffer from your LHBS. I bet you'll see at least a 10%-20% difference in your efficiency.

I'm with The Bird, I strongly suggest the Vanguard fund. Fidelity left a real bad taste in my mouth during the crash of 2000. Good Luck.

Yeah, and then a dip in an alcohol bath ..just to clean him up a bit.

The problem with ProMash is it assumes you have the means to heat your mash tun to mash out temperatures. Before I added steam , and then HERMS to my system I would add a few quarts of boiling water to the mash tun at mash out, stir and slowly bring my mash up to my mash out temp. ie...

Sorry Begee, but you have to answer that as a question.

Sorry Txbrew , just now saw this. Ian's design has 3 colors if put on a white t shirt. It has 4 colors if put on any thing other than white. One can use a white background(white T-shirt) to simulate the color. If you want a colored t-shirt then white ink will have to be used creating the need...

OK, here's the question: What other than PH and mash thickness makes Begee's beer so bad. :confused:

Is that one of your baby pictures you just posted?:D

"Let me touch him"??? Are those four guys a Catholic Priest quartet?

I didn't see thongs in this poll ...wuz-up with that?:rockin:

After reading the posts by the gentlemen above I'm wondering if your efficiency concerns should be more focused on your processing parameters. Parameters such as mash ph/temp/time, sparge time/temp, water analysis and final volume.

The Beer Gods conversations took place during the El Pistolero days of Moderation. Those who have been here awhile remember Yeastivus and Hopstrus. I played the forum as a meeting place for homebrewers and these gods that tempt us. A Firkin is an old english unit of volume which is equal...

Yeah, lots a Ole People! :D
