Well its a hit and even the neighbors who drink mostly coors light have enjoyed it thanks Reno.

Stretch im in for 250# myself. I know the pick up dates are on Saturdays would u be able to pick mine up too?

Exactly one month later I just transferred to a corny and took a gravity reading. My final gravity was 1.015. I'm not noticing a sour taste like the others are talking about but I only used 1tbl spoon of spice. It smells and taste like high gravity beer (upwards of 6.7% abv) I'll check it again...

Yes I batch sparge. I think the grain is over milled resulting in that tight compact grain bed and clogging up. What gap is your mill set at and what kind of mill do you use millaj92?

About the long primaries... could maby all the carbing issues correlate with the long time in primary and the yeast going dormant? Also when does or how long before autolysis factors into off flavors?

Alright is measured. 041 its a cranknstein 2s how do I increase the gap to. 045?

When my neighbor gets home I will mil spec it.

So im brewing a smoked nut brown and getting a stuck sparge again after first runnings ...its gotta be my grain mill that's doing it my crushed grain is kinda floury.

Reno is that fire near you?

Are u saying pre fab a false bottom w p/u tube?

It has a copper tube inside the braid w drilled holes... my air lock has slowed down drastically at only day 2! Feeling like I should pf pitched only 1 package of yeast. Might need to check gravity in a day or 2 and stir and areate more

Inside a 60qt cooler.

A ss braid. I pitched the 2 us05's cause I had them lying around. I did notice action in the airlock after only 3 hrs!!! It could of been less time that's just when I checked it.

Just brew this again after yesterdays debacle...today I used 1lb rice hulls and had no problem with the first runnings. While batch sparging immediately another stuck sparge. I used compressed air to blow back the line which helped but only a little. Where did i go wrong? My Og ended up at...

Cool. Today was a disaster I left out the rice hulls an ended up with a stuck sparge 2min in. The wort smelled great though and had an awesome orange color to it! Rather than vesting more time into it and ending up with sour beer in an account of it dropping temp and taking who knows how long I...

Sorry I left out that I used only 1 packet of us05

Never though of it like that. I just thought it either had enough to get the gravity low enough so its not too sweet or it did not. How would you explain the double ipa I had at og of 1.073 getting down to 1.010 on fg? Im confused :0

Better safe than sorry I guess. Maby if threatens to go lower ill cold crash in the chest freezer.

Gonna brew this today and im going over the posts again and noticed for yeast receipe calls for 2 packages of us-05. Is this over kill? Because I've used the 05 in a ag Og 1.075 and had fg of 1.007-1.010. Has any one used only 1 package of yeast?

Gonna brew this tomorrow. Is it ok to put foil on the baking sheet so it dosent stick? Or will it be fine? Also I live at altitude near 7000ft how long do I bake? Gonna shoot for an hour and 15 or so.
