    Add second vessel to eBIAB rig?

    I've been brewing for the last year or so in a 15 gallon eBIAB kettle with recirculation. Overall, I'm very happy with the system. But I do get pretty low efficiency when doing higher gravity batches, and particularly anything with flaked grain additions. A typical NEIPA will get me something...

    Kettle sour is fermenting - now what?

    Attempting my first sour, a simple kettle soured Berliner Weisse using White labs pure lacto brevis. Mashed last night, boiled for a few minutes, cooled to 95f, then pitched the lacto and put the lid on. I didn't purge with co2 since I read that it's not really necessary when using a pure lacto...

    Bottled from Keg, Undercarbonated, Now What?

I've been planning to have two return ports, one in the lid for recirculation during mash, and one for whirlpooling using the SpinCycle from Brew Hardware. But as I was about to start...

    Estimating boiloff rate for new kettle

    Tonight I'll be brewing the first batch in my new 10 gallon Winware kettle from amazon. I've been doing partial boils and smaller 3-gallon BIAB batches in my 5-gallon stainless starter kettle, but this will be my first full 5.5-gallon BIAB batch. I'm trying to estimate a boiloff rate for the...

    Champagne yeast for primary - can I fix this?

    First post but I've been getting tons of information from these forums over the last few months - thanks to all posters! I followed a recipe from brewersfriend.com for a Belgian Triple that I scaled down to 2 gallons. This is my first BIAB and first batch that is not from a kit. When buying...
