Please forgive my ignorance, but English is not my mother tongue. What is "A-B"?

All great and fast answers, but quick follow up question on this last one; i had a vague idea of reading something similar to this before. Is there also a chance this beer will result watery and thin? (In addition to strong(er))

Quick question: i have an electric mash tun/boiler all in one system. The heating element can be regulated to a percentage of max. I have been playing with the idea of slowly heating i.e. a german wheat beer which has a lot of steps, slowly, making the total mash time the same, only rising the...

Hi! I have a setup that allegedly only takes 15.5lbs of grain, although the total volume is 8.5gallons. This is due to a stainless steel tube inside With a false bottom making the grainbed to compact and problems With stuck mash if i understand the threads on the forum right. I have a...

I'm currently in Germany at a friends (and fellow brewers) house, and the first day we went to buy a large case with a selection of german beers. I soon realised that the Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel is going to be hard to beat, and is now considered my all time favourite! When I return to Norway...

My equipment is an electric boiler with a stainless steel tube inside with a false bottom, making it a mashtun and a boil kettle all in one. You can lift the tube and make it stand on top of the kettle during sparge. So i guess by definition my system is biab. I use a bag in addition because my...

I can see this thread is old, but just for the fun of it, and to kill some boring time at work: I use a BIAB system, and use hot water from the fausset. (water quality is really great, never had a problem doing so, although i know People would Object to this...) I only collect the Equipment I...

It was not my intention to be rude in any way. I was just trying to be funny and give credit for an excellent knowlege about calculations in brewing! It might be so that i use Expressions the wrong way, but I greatly appreciate the help and information. (and also i didn't manage to qoute both...

Wow. Thank you! Did you by any chance create beer back in the day? I will use this! Excellent!

Hi, I need some help. I've been working on an excel sheet for calculating all aspects of my brewing (for fun/learning) and got a formula from Wikipedia for calculating ABV. This gives me roughly 4.4% for my last beer of SG 39 and FG 9. Beersmith tools tell me 4%. Which is correct? Why the...

Ps. I found s graph online showing how beta and alpha amylase fit together with fermentability, and it showed a fermentability of 70% at this temperature. I played with the idea of multiplying this number with the yeast attenuation (ability to consume available sugars), and it gave me ca 49%...

Hi! Just tested out the "Palmers oaked mild" recipe for this ale (5gallon batch), shooting for SG of 1031 (with my Brewhouse efficiency), and landed at 1034. Only difference is that I used the windsor yeast as I understand it attenuates a tad lower than most dry yeast i've used in the past. I...

Hi. Just curious to know all possible angles to "renew" the four ingredients in beer; what would be the effect of soaking i.e. wheat malt or two row, toasting them in the microwave and then adding a propriate amount to the mash? I've toasted in oven with amazing results...:-)

Haha, ok. How do you make your tasty mild? Malts, hops, yeast?

Sounds great! Are you willing to share the recipe? I would love to try it out! Thank you!

Thank you!!

Hey. Looking to make a tasty drink and drive beer. Thinking about mashing at 158F, and using a low attenuating yeast to leave most sugars possible for a rich taste. What I cannot decide on are the ingredients. I'm thinking something around 2-2,5% ABV could be all right. And maybe a taste like a...

Thanks! These are great thoughts! 1) Are you aware of why this didn't work? Any angle you didn't cover? Was the oven at 80C maybe to high, making the conversion to short? 2) Since i'm making a relatively small batch of really high gravity with a BIAB system, different reading online leads me...

Hey. Need som help and input! Any ideas are greatly appreciated! I am going to make a small batch of Barleywine on the weekend (roughly 2-2,5 gallons). I've decided to mash in pretty thick, around 1quart/lb, and let this rest for a long time, before i drain and mash again With "fresh water"...

Hey, guys! Cool!! The cool thing about this project would in any case be to map all the different flavours yeast could provide given suggested temperature and the flavours over and under the manufacturers specifications. For me the dry yeast is most interesting because of time and money. And i...
