Thats an option but as you say takes time. I think the best way is to mash thicker and to sparge longer to allow for a two hour boil.

Excellent info, thanks guys.

Untill recently my MLT was big enough to make 10 gallons of 1.065 all-grain beer. If I wanted higher gravity I needed to add LME. Ive recently upgraded the MLT and can (in theory) make a 1.100+ beer using all grain only. I recently made an English Barley Wine and got very low efficency. I...

Let me know how it turns out - Im concerned it will continue to convert and be too dry. What styles did you make ?

Im planning on a braggot with the 2nd runnings. I like being able to adjust gravity by adding more honey if need be. I also like light braggots.

Thanks. Brew day is this weekend.

Im going to be making 11gallons of English Barley Wine and then a partygyl Braggot. Trouble is I can only boil one batch at a time. Should I keep the second runnings in the MLT while maintaining mash temps (RIMS) untill the Barley Wine boil is finished and then sparge again, Or should I sparge...

Im not sure if I trust Charles. What you don't see in that photo is his long greasy ponytail ;)

Thats impressive. How long is the brew day ?

For my next bohemian pilsner Im considering a triple decoction. I'll use Weyermans Pilsner Malt (no other grains). Considering this malt is well modified is a decoction recommended ? Im concerned it will affect head retention. Traditionally decoctions involve removing a portion of the mash...

I need to do that. Ive used MMAShare. Invarably someone mentions the results to me. Ive been enjoying The Ultimate Fighter - does anyone else watch it?

Im also a big MMA fan. Ive been training for 8 years. I train about 4 times a week. The ground game and clinch is my first love but I enjoy the standup as well. I have a purple belt in BJJ, hope to get my brown belt in April. I get UFC from a freind of mine but only a couple of weeks after the...

Thanks. I didn't realise I needed to maintain a much higher pressure and hence lengthen the beer lines. Im wondering if its worth the effort.

When kegging I force carb at 30psi (shake method) for 48hrs and then maintain 8psi. Im switching to beer gas which is 60% CO2 and 40% N (called Suremix 60). Will my current methods and pressures work with the beer gas ? Several kegs are already carbed with CO2 will get connected to beer gas -...

Do you guys go through an innitiation when you shoot your first animal ? Over here the new hunter gets "blooded" - blood smeared over his face. Sometimes you're made to eat the animals balls. Its an age old ritual. Yooper - you need to hunt in Africa and shoot some big game. Let me know if you...

Well spotted.

Yooper, which ever one you get make sure its waterproof and temp compensation is nice to have. Consider the Hanna pH turtle - gives your pH on the laptop : pH Portable Meter for the PC, HI 9815 | HANNA Instruments USA

I suggest put the sensor low down - at kid level - just in case your lighties are getting stoned without you knowing :drunk:
