I use 15 mins steep/whirlpool in beersmith for my cube additions - this is with a transfer to cube approx 25 mins after flameout. I used to use 20 mins s/w but found I wasn't quite getting the level of bitterness I expected.
Agree with Rocker1986, you'll either need to do a reiterated mash or do a sparge.
I BIAB in a 40L urn and find that a big grain bill like that gives rubbish efficiency. I recently did an IPA with 7kg grain and only got about 62% efficiency - for reference my efficiency for standard gravity...
That's so interesting, I had the same beer in the same glass on Thursday night and couldn't have been more underwhelmed!
Perhaps my can was treated worse than yours? Although in general I've found most Stone beers I've tried to be over rated.
Thanks for getting the video up so quickly, Chris.
Certainly looks like a decent solution for time poor brewers as you said. I was surprised about the boil over, thought that in the prototyping stage they would have ensured there was ample headroom to avoid that.
Out of interest what sort of...
I'd move the 30 min galaxy addition to flameout and I would also either halve the 60 min addition and move half to the last 15 mins, or move the whole amount to 30.
Found some 2014 POR at the bottom of the freezer so making a simple Aussie ale tonight.
Grain bill was roughly
84% ale
12% wheat
2% med crystal
2% acidulated
Mash at 66 for at least 1 1/2 hours - will prob be closer to 2
Single 60 min addition of POR for 25-30 ibu.
Every time I see deals like this I wish I was in Melbourne. $44 a sack for ale malt is better than bulk buy prices on Barrett Burston base malt.
Would love to give the viking malts a crack too.
Enjoy, you southern *******s.
Post mowing pale ale.
82% ale,9% Supernova, 9% wheat. A touch of Columbus @ 60, mosaic and a smidge of centennial @ cube, 2.5g/l mosaic keg hop. 40 something ibu.
Delicious!
