I noticed tonight that despite only having around 4.8 gallons of beer in the bucket, the foaming was higher than normal to the point it was coming up into the air lock. Never had that happen before....

Mash temp was higher than I wanted, so in essence I'll have a lower alcohol content and from what I've gathered a little more body....oh well, it happens. Air lock is bubbling up like mad....the last couple of batches took several days before the fermentation kicked in....down 1 day - 29 to...

and put it in the fermentation bucket. Mash temp was running a little higher than normal (154) and my boil off was a tad more than I was shooting for.... but I ended up with around 4.8 gal in the bucket. OG came out at 1.056 recipe was calling for 1.050 so that ran a little higher than...

All my mashes have been 60-90 minutes, including one that I ended up mashing at a lower than called for temp but yielded a pretty good light bodied beer.

I stumbeld across the following recipe this morning: All Grain Recipe - Kolsch ::: 1.048/1.012 (5 Gal) Grain Bill 9 lbs. - Pilsner Malt (German if you have it) 1/2 lb. - Munich Malt (Light, 10L) 1/2 lb. - Wheat Malt Hop Schedule (14 IBU) 3/4 oz - Northern Brewer (60 Min.) 1/4 oz -...

Recipe was from here I didn't get it from any software :)

Sorry I mistyped the7.57 I meant 6.57 but thanks for correcting me

My question is does it matter how much water I use during mashing since my final boil volume is going to be 7.57 with an approx 1 gallon boil off. Just curious, since I never see water volumes for mashing only the boil size. ****5 Gallon Batch**** Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 6.57...

I have all the necessary tools Chris, I just accidently threw away one of my sheets with the OG on it. It happens ya know?

Its green alright lol that's what happens when you use a cheap McDonald's glass with a green tint :)

It doesn't taste sweet, but I'm just not sure the alcohol content is as high as predicted or desired. I can't find my sheet with the OG, but it was off, ended up with more water than desired in the mashtun, probably a good gallon more than I should have had.

Poured a glass tonight of the Kolsch, very light beer, as I suspected little to no alcohol content since I didn't get the mash temp up high enough... then again I'm only on the first glass, so maybe I haven't had enough yet :) Very little head retention, carbonation is close, put it on 30lbs...

Got so busy with work and what not that I didn't make time to keg the Klosch until tonight. Popped the top off the bucket and that flat beer aroma filled the room, no fungus, no mold, just a very clear kolsch.... Not sure the alcohol content is going to be very high since I did not get the...

Took two days but it finally kicked off I'm going to be low on the alcohol but I think all in all I should be ok

A friend of mine has a series of images where during a dressage competition, the horse and rider go head over heels and slam into the photographer -her lol nobody got hurt but she **** all the way until the horse slammed into her Oh and the nooks it didn't happen well I got no pics of the...

I'm a photographer by trade lol I'm always doing this lol. The only time I didn't is when I dumped 10 gallons of 190 degree water on my left foot And yes there is permanent nerve damage..... Oh well never brew only wearing socks

happening: Blew the hose right off the chiller, apparently the hose froze at the other end (discharge end)

Well this morning no activity in the air lock, I would have expected to have seen the typical bubbling but didn't

I had the grain in the kitchen same place the mash tun has been for the last three weeks.....so they were at about 70 degrees. I checked and double checked that temp......oh well its in the bucket, we'll see how it turns out. Didn't boil down as far as I expected and as it normally does but I...
