Should I remove some of the yeast cake before adding fresh wort ?

I recently used my yeast twice, here is what I did. I brewed and fermented a batch of beer in a plastic bucket for 14 days, everything went well. I monitored the process with my iSpindel and all was good. I kegged the 1st batch and I rebrewed the exact same recipe at the same time. I didn't...

Here is an update on my previous post, I tried adjusting the space of the roller on my mill but when I reached a certain point the roller would just spin and no grain would be crushed. So I decided to set it and mill my grain twice. I also used the recommendation to set the flow of the pump to a...

I will recirculate as slow as I can for my next batch. I will crush twice Can you be more specific about sparging?

I am not sure about the crush, is it common to run it twice? How much will it affect effeciency? That's an option I will certainly consider since my mill won't work with a finer setting

Thanks a lot for the advice! I thought that recirculating was better if it is fast flowing

Thanks for your questions, here are the details What are you measuring your gravity with? Refractometer with ATC -what temperature was the wort at when you took your readings? I cooled the liquid to around 20-25C -how much wort was your preboil volume? 25L -did you acidify your mash to keep...

Hello fellow hombrewers, I have a problem with my planned recipe and my measured results in terms of gravity. I need help to identify the problem. Here is a concrete example, I created a SMASH beer recipe in Brewfather, simple 5kg of 2 row, I use a brewzilla 35L. The software predicts a pre-boil...
