I hate stuck mash. I run water through the mash tun backwards, which usually works. However, it is typical symptomatic of a bigger problem, like compacted grains.


Hope it went better,
 
I realize this thread encourages pics, but we already have "Who's brewing this weekend" and "What I did for beer today", do we really need another? How many threads do I need to update when I brew? :drunk:

Yeah it was the oats in the oatmeal porter... knew I should have used some rice hulls. The rest of the day went without a hitch, thankfully.

Those oats make for a slow mash, being it is so gummy. Glad it worked out.


Post pics if you have them,
 
That sounds really good. My Saturday is looking like the Fuller's London porter recipe with Irish ale yeast. I'm afraid of bottling with 1968 after reading the giant English yeast thread.
 
Irish ale starter for a porter and likely more batches in the near future. Most ghetto stirplate I have ever seen, but totally effective.

This is what I have done this week for beer. Made a 1.9L starter. Added shelves to my kegerator / fermentation chamber. Watched my brew buddy play with spent grains. Brewed 6 gallons RIS.

Added the bucket to chamber to drop over night from 78-60. Enjoyed some bells 2 hearted in celebration of making my biggest beer. Added blow off tube after pitching and it's going like crazy right now.

Bottled my 2 gallon batch of a modified MB kit. No idea what to call it. Lost a bit to the leaf hops but what I sampled tasted decent. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1397329318.220980.jpg

You just never know what you can find browsing around good will. I kinda feel like Im the odd man out on this forum, what with all the folks who own and love top end gear. I doubt I've spent more than $200 on equipment, and that's mash tun to bottle, all inclusive. Maybe I should do a writeup on how to approach this hobby effectively on a budget.
 
what else you dopes?!?!

Maibock.jpg


13.4 lbs Avangard pils malt
2 oz Weyerman Sauered malt
1.5 oz Tetnang (Mash)
30 IBU perle 90 mins
1 whirlflock tablet 15 mins
Re-piched german bock yeast
OG 18.4 Plato
2 decoctions! (yay!)

Some of us go overboard on the equipment. However, we all know you can brew good beer with a simple setup. In fact, you should do how to videos with you equipment.


Good luck

I recently brewed a nut brown with 1968. It is kind of crazy. After 2 days @63 it just quit on me. No airlock activity & the krausen dropped. I put it in a room @ 66 & roused it a couple times over a day. It took off again & worked steady for a week. Ended up @ 1.012 after 12 days, 2 points lower than Beersmith estimate. I'll keg that one friday & brew a dry stout on sunday. Prost!
 
This weekend I brew Nothing. Camping and drinking homebrew so I have enough empties to bottle 12 gallons next weekend.
