well i brewed 20 gal this weekend
i did 10 gal of a Kolsch on Saturday. 81.9% eff
and
did 10 gal of a Shocktop on Sunday. 82.8% eff
all i have to say is that's a lot of cleaning to do..
the Kolsch is in the ferm chamber and the shocktop is sitting next to the ferm chamber. MMmmm not thinking proximity to the ferm chamber is helping
also learned what Decoct means (lucky ME!!) right before i messed up the Kolsch. you know you're going along and something doesn't feel right, its right there i stopped and decided to look it up..
Decoct doesn't mean add boiling water to the mash, it means boil X amount of the mash in a separate pot.... then add back to the mash !!!!!
now i just need the sun to come out.
