Would this be considered steeping or mashing? Does the answer affect how much water I use?

The yeast is yweast 1010 American wheat. I'm going to research biab now. Maybe I'll give that a try

Hi everyone, I have done a couple of extract brews and am ready to venture into Partial Mash. On a side note, I asked my LHBS for help with a partial mash and he wasn't the most helpful. He just pulled up brewing software and typed in hoppy wheat, gave me the list and I searched for the...

I see. What is happening while you wait that lower the FG?

Good to know

Know the computer fan is not pushing a lot of air, but do I need to provide fresh air into the chiller? Should I worry about creating a vacuum and wearing out fan faster? Thanks in advance

Looking to build son of fermentation chiller and was thinking of how to glue the insulation. Will construction adhesive melt the styrofoam? Do I need a special glue? Thanks in advance

I know that trub is the leftover yeast and other wort debris. Is there a term for what's at the bottom of a bottled and conditioned beer? Just curious Thanks
