Getting closer to inaugural brew day on the 35 gen4. Just wondering if other users set the element power to 100% during boil and what sort of boil off rate you get. Obviously I'll run a test batch first on mine but having a start point would save me a little time. Cheers.

I used to do full volume mashes with my biab setup, surely sparging will get me better efficiency?

Cheers, looks good. Will grab one. Fairly cheap for it's size. Got a small one for hops and salts already.

I guess they aren't obliged, or maybe they think beer nerds would look negatively on them using adjuncts perhaps. But seriously, the conversation did happen. Do you really think you could emulate that sickly Frosty fruit flavour by using hops alone? Personally, I really don't like the beer. I'm...

yeah I did think about that. I don't do double batches though, so it would only be for bigger than about 7% beers. Plus I figured if I wanted to stray into imperial territory I could just grab the extension and bigger malt pipe down the track?

Bought a maltzilla, just wondering what a good gap size would be to start at. Just in general for ale malts, but if you change it for wheat etc keen to know what that setting is too. Thanks.

So I'm just getting back into brewing, last time I brewed I was making starters and using liquid yeasts with London Ale 3 etc for my hazies but I was just keen on seeing how these newer dry yeasts like Verdant are stacking up. Is it safe to ditch my stir plate yet or not?

Hi guys/gals. Just a quick intro post. Names Ken. Been a Homebrewer since 2015. Started with the usual kits and bit for about a year, moved up to all grain BIAB with a modded crown urn, then kegging. Sort of lost a bit of interest and/or too busy for the last 2 years but...
