    On brew day, what do you do during the wait times?

    Grain milled and water prepared the night before (filter and PH adjust). Power on the Brew Controller, set start time. In the morning at the set start time the Brew Controller heats water in the HLT and strike water in the MLT in readiness for mash in. Wake and mash in around 7am and check...

    How long would you give a lager yeast to kick off?

    You would need 2 packs of yeast for even a smallish lager and should be aiming for a starter volume of 4L. Yeast cells do not like cold temps, lager yeast strains have been selected due to them being able to work at low temps without dropping off to sleep like other strains. Low temps using...

    Some tips from the experienced

    Persist and learn. Going BIAB using a bad crush won't change the result. Change malt supplier/HBS! Sounds like the crush wasn't real good. You were over on pre boil but to boil off 4 litres and end up with 1.030 your pre boil gravity would have had to be around 1.025 which would have rung...
