Based on my results, it’s been about .5 gallon boil off in an hour boil. Forgot to add that in the reply. Happy brewing!

Clawhammer's element maybe a lower wattage at 1650 watt element but it is low density preventing any scorching. As an owner of the clawhammer system and having done 20+ beers on it I can say that it produces great beer and since brew days are generally planned ahead getting your water to strike...

Has anyone with the Clawhammer system made a false bottom with dip tube to get away with using the hop spider. Been thinking about doing it but wanted to see if anyone has tried and what they are using.

I’m currently looking at the clawhammer supply system. They have both a 120 and 240 system. I’ve been leaning towards the 240 but it’s sold out and has been for almost a month now. I’m planning to be outside or in my garage when brewing so I was considering the 120 just didn’t know how the boil...

How about reaching and maintaining a boil? Are you staying indoors or are you outdoors?

Looking to move into an EBIAB system but am hesitant at getting into a 120v unit. I’ve seen a lot of 240v units out there but want to get experiences from those that are using a 120v unit and their thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Kyle! I appreciate the write up. This will definitely help with dialing in my equipment. I appreciate the efficiency calculator at the end as well. Cheers

I used a hydrometer. There was some airlock activity but not a lot. Temperature was brought up to 68. I hope it works out, I don't want to lose this batch.

Was gonna check gravity today just wanted to make sure no one thought I should give it more time. Anyone?

Tomorrow marks 7 days since I have pitched a starter to reignite fermentation. How long do you think I should wait before checking gravity again? I'm really hoping this works.

Okay, so I moved it into the house wrapped up in a blanket and temperature shows it had moved up to about 65. I tested gravity yesterday and it showed still at 1.040. I shook the hell out of the bucket in hopes that maybe I just didn't get the yeast back up to eating sugar and haven't seen any...

Thanks for the replies, I did move my bucket from my garage to my cellar and it has gone up in temperatures do also added a tsp of yeast nutrient. I am going to check on it tomorrow and see if the Gravity has dropped any.

Okay so on 12/7 I brewed an IPA. Got an OG of 1.076, when I went to check on it last week on the 26th I found that it had only dropped to 1.040. My fermometer showed it at 58 degrees. Using US 05 that is the bottom of its range I thought maybe the yeast dropped from getting too cold...

One more question, I do not have a French press. Can I just use a strainer to separate all the chunks in the tea?

Still very new to All Grain brewing, based on the OP's recipe it looks like he did a single infusion with no sparging. Can someone tell me what they have done? I was going to just use the 1.25 mash ratio then another 3.5 gallons 10 minute sparge. What do you guys think?

Metanoia, I would love to check out this recipe you have as this would make a great Christmas beer in my house. I might even leave a glass for Santa Claus! :mug:

Alright, so I am going to go for my first starter. I have read plenty on the subject of making one but have this question in the back of my head. Is a yeast starter exactly what the name is, a starter, or will it suffice to ferment the wort into the sweet nectar we are making?:confused: I...

Not yet, just starting with the basics for all grain right now, will do so probably next batch or so Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm running my chiller on it now. Gonna end up with beer in the end. Need to start fine tuning all grain. There is a lot for me to learn. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
