Interesting, so the strain actually produces Glucoamylase so it eats up unfermable sugars. Would beers made with this taste more like a saison than than an IPA or like a Belgian IPA? Not really looking for that. You say treated right - documentation just says to beware of cross contamination to...

It seems like your process combined with back sweetening with Monk Fruit will allow for more body in the beer. The sweetness also allows a bolder hop schedule to get more towards a Slightly Mighty IPA. There is a recipe in this thread - Monk Fruit. The difference is that they use Amylo...

I was assuming I would do full volume and increase the temp of the GigaWort at the end of the mash to stop conversion. I am coming from traditional 5 gallon batch sparge brewing so perhaps I do not know the options well enough for biab.

This thread response came up as a suggestion under my post:

I was just using the Brew in a Bag (BIAB) Calculator ~ You need to consider boil off and grain absorption correct?

Hey all, I am designing my ebiab setup and really want to use the GigaWort system. This is a 4.4 gal system. I want to brew 3 gallon batches and my typical grain bill would be under 7 lbs. Anything bigger than that and I would do a smaller batch. Throwing that into the BIAB calculator gives me a...

After reviewing both options, I think ad hoc in order to avoid special tools to buy and extra cost.

I am down for your recommendation. Thx

I know not of what you speak 🤔

Wow, amazing replies thank you much. Since you are building the last one, do you have a parts list?

Looking for assistance in designing my setup and determine what I need. I have a 50W 240V outlet that is 25 feet from where I need to brew so I would like to use a 25' 240V extension cord to power the setup. If I go with 120v outlet, I only have 20W circuits available. Parameters: 1...

Not interested in a keggle, but thanks for responding.

Looking for a 15 gallon or so kettle. Prefer ports already built into it. Will be adding an element and possibly a stainless mesh basket. Nothing bigger than 16 gal please.

I am buying some Tupperware, stacking folded paper towel sheets inside and soaking them with Starsan. Going to have my son sell them out of the back of the pickup in the Walmart parking lot for $10. College fund

Damn, only saw one box. The remote control plug worked great cause I can put it right by me so I think I am sticking with that.

So I have brewed three batches after an 8 year break. I broke my glass hydrometer so have been using the refractometer that came with my equipment purchased from Craigslist seller. I was wary from the readings after my first brew back before I broke my hydrometer. I used both and couldn't get...

So update on the Harbor Freight foot pedal. It is temp power only when pushing the pedal. Don't know if it has changed or if it's just different from store to store. That changes it for me. Going to the wireless button switch.

I hear ya John! I think third time will be a charm. I have a good plan, all equipment set, cobwebs clear and ready to brew a Lagunitas Little Sumpin clone tomorrow!

All good stuff! I have the wireless switch but I just like a foot pedal since I am not 100% automated and using my hands a lot during transfers and recirc. I am going with foot pedal and will put a big clear plastic bag over it and on a GFCI for safety. I do like the Google/Alexa idea but not...
