    Recirc, Wilser Bag, Crush Size

    I personally recirculate so I can do step mashes. I am seeing differences in the body and attenuation of the beer and subtle efficiency gains. But like many I built a system with it but rarely used it for the first couple years where I only did single infusion mashes. It did help maintain my...

    Switching from 3 vessel to ebiab

    The OG undershooting is on direct correlation with you higher than expected volume. Take notes of you volume next time and adjust slightly, or do a gravity reading at the end of the boil and if low OG and high volume, boil longer. For a hefeweizen, I don't use a hop mesh since it's a very...

    Switching from 3 vessel to ebiab

    I usually dough in with a Strike water about 3-5 degrees F above my mash temperature. And the start recirculating around 5 minutes later (let the grains settle after stirring.)

    Switching from 3 vessel to ebiab

    Here's a recipe I just created and brewed. It will test out your new system's capability to do step mashes. I set my grain mill to a width of a credit card.

    Fermentation Chamber Build - Haier Beverage Cooler

    Reviving my old thread as I wanted to log into for my personal records. I recently bought a Flex+ on Cyber Monday when they had the deal for ~$280. When I got it, right away I knew I was in trouble. The footprint on this thing is huge!! I initially set in my fermentation chamber (which is still...

    Consistently getting incorrect preboil gravity

    Only additional thing I do is stir the wort before taking a sample to ensure closer to a homogeneous solution.

    Omega OYL-200

    So everyday it's getting better. If I use this yeast again, I will fermentation the same but then drop to 70 and let it sit for 2 weeks before kegging. It seems like it needs a rest before consumption. I treated it too much like a kviek strain with a quick turn around from brew to the glass door...

    Omega OYL-200

    Tried another glass, 24 hours later. Peppery flavor has subsided, however, I do taste a little alcohol. I have to wonder if the fermentation temperature drive this (that's what we're taught after all.) But I have to remember this beer is 8 days from brew day.

    Omega OYL-200

    See attached image for my recipe and temperature profile. I treat my water the same for all pale ale recipes.

    Omega OYL-200

    I just brewed with this yeast. It was finished in 4 days at 82F (controlled), but after 7 days from pitching and in the keg for 1 day, I get an almost peppery flavor. I plan to let it sit for a while but thoughts in your experiences when tasting this so young?
