Makes sense! Yes, sounds about exactly like what I'm doing give or take a little on how much sparge water is being used... The single vessel unit with the basket was highly appealing to me. I've had my eye on the clawhammer since I brewed my first batch ever and started saving instantly to get...

I currently am shooting to end my mash at 5 gallons of wort once the grain is pulled and then rinsing the grains with a gallon of reserve water since I lose about a gallon in the boil. For me this seemed the easiest to track my gravity throughout the brew day because if I measure an OG before...

So if I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like my calculations don't fall too far from yours (using different apps grains could have slightly different potential based on quality)...I live in a rural area and while my tap water is treated I've read about runoff from agricultural chemicals...

Cooled the wort to 70 degrees and took my OG before transferring to fermenter. 1.040 was what the hydrometer read

Grain bill was as follows: -12lb pale 2 row -0.5lb carapils -0.5lb caramel 40 -0.5lb gambrinus honey malt I was planning for an OG of 1.070ish if I hit a 70% efficiency. I do all my calculations on the brew cloud app. My mash volume was 7 gallons and when mashed out and drained the grains before...

Just did my first brew day on my new clawhammer system. Really easy to use and I loved having the electric controller so I could set and forget at times throughout the mash and boil. I have been doing 1 gallon BIAB batches on a stove top for a year and never really bothered to calculate my...
