I was going for 3.5. The mash pH reading was taken at mash-out. There was 5%acidulated cold soaked overnight too. Dunno, there's some amazing zingy sess ipa's that seem to be quite acidic and feck

Got 90L at 1.050 in the end, will have to check what that eff is. pH in the sparge was low - does a lower pH sparge increase efficiency if ur mash is 5.1 at the end and you sparge at 3? As opposed to sparging with household 7pH? ...bit pissed actually

cool ! lol

The sparge arm doesn't perform as I would have liked but at the moment I have to connect it so I can shut the flow off to that outlet. I don't think you're missing anything. I did use it today because I didn't want to disturb the grain bed hoiking out the recirc manifold, mushy mash today, must...

I Its my sparge arm and tis adjustable the mash recirculate manifold had decided to dive for some firmer bed and in the process it pushed up the grain above it...tho ended up with 1042bg and 105litres pre-boil so geez, gotta say I'm a big fan of the overnight soak and a long mash Did a very...

I'm doing 20 - it's South Eastern Gippsland, the temp in the shed hasn't gone over 20 for the last week, plus they are sitting on cold concrete. They both have heater belts as the drop in temp is the only concern here...at the mo

Sorry if it has been covered, does a warm pressure ferment mean that you can do a closed warm transfer to a bottle as above and then chill without issues? It would be nice to have a few kegs that are at cellar temp and carbed, allowing the odd bottle to be filled and chilled whenever as opposed...

My first pressure ferment, thought bugger it might as well transfer a bit to a PET and cool down for a taste

^sounds adventurous, good stuff man

sorry mate, should've asked, good luck and I hope you find a cracker of a recipe!

^ that's alright, it just means if we were brewing one together we'd have to meet in the middle at 67...hehe

I love the hoppy fizzy not too sweet or big bodied style, for a few smashers it's the go, followed up by something that has more body to slow down the intake...at some point the bigger malt can weigh in but not early in a Session...2C Yeastie Boys, Goose Island, and Stone Go to IPA for example...

Cato - Belgian (Dutch) for Kate, fermented with three Belgian yeasts but came in under target OG for a Trappist so I guess it's a Golden Strong with a twist? dunno .. coming good, the Mrs is happy with it which is good since it was made at her request

ATGATT Trying to learn Ollie's on the grass, then the very first attempt on the deck...straight up and straight down, can only imagine the same thing but on an abrasive surface at speed An x skater dude at work gave me a knuckle punch after telling him the story, does that mean I'm cool or...

While we were on holidays and I was eating a pie, the Mrs said to me - you could try to make healthy choices. I blew that off. I like buying pies from every bakery that presents itself on traveling, it's the right thing to do. At some point, once I could own that thought legitimately for...
