+5.5 Imperial Brown Pumpkin +4 Brown 15055

Not really advocating keggles, just the thought to plan ahead!!! Mine was obtained legally and was ready to brew with upon receipt, as it was a gift. I did solve the small opening issue by covering the edge of the opening with high temp hose slit down the side. You are correct that cleaning can...

I will just throw in the thought to plan ahead! I'm using a keggle currently and brew imperial versions of many beers that take 13+ gallons of room for mash space as my boil off is 1.5G per hour. I get the best efficiency when I mash in at 2.3 qt/#. Take my advice for what it's worth as the...

Well, I was trying to beat it to the shelves, but I saw that I missed it. I'm brewing an imperial pumpkin on Friday. I wanted it in the fermentor to get it ready and cellering so it gets some age on it before October.

+5.5G Banana Blonde 14493.0 Total

Just finished brewing an Oatmeal Stout for a buddy's birthday. Hit my preboil numbers but undershot my post boil numbers. Had a 1/2 gallon left in the kettle......hmm, gotta check my volumes. Such is life, good beer on the way, regardless.

+6 gallons oatmeal stout = 13872.5

+5.5G Rye Pale Ale +5.5G Irish Red +5.5G Belgian Blonde +5.5G American Wit = 11,742.75

I'll be starting it today, my original mental count was only 3-4 days. Forgot to count the crashing days....thanks for the reminder!!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback! I'll get started on that this week, so I'm ready for next weekend.

10,860.5 + 10 = 10,870.5 5G American Wit 5G Munich SMaSH

I picked up an expired batch of Omega's Irish Ale yeast and know that I'll need to build it up, probably a few times before using it. The packaged date is 11/9/15 and the online calculators are telling me that viability is between 0-10%. My question is, how do I go about building it up properly...

Oops, relied on the previous total, sorry Doug! :mug: We are up to 8755.6!

This weekend, we'll be brewing up a blue moon clone for the wifeys and a Munich SMaSH. I got 3 of my buddies into brewing and we are doing different SMaSHs until we figure out the base malt we want to use as our house variety. :mug: It also has the benefit of being a teaching tool for them!

+ 5.5 American Brown + 5.5 Vienna SMaSH 8712.6

Thanks for the suggestions! I do use binder clips already to hold the bag, so I will try the side to side stirring instead of circular to see if that eliminates the problem. I have a restaurant supply store near me, so I'll check to see if they have the whisks that you guys suggested! That...

I did a search, but wasn't able to find any posts on the terminology that I came up with. This leads me to ask....... When mashing in to my keggle, the bag gets all twisted up as I'm stirring. Does anyone use some kind of spreader, for lack of a better term, to keep their bag open and from...
